Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom priced in the UK

Samsung’s brand new smartphone- camera hybrid, the Galaxy S4 Zoom, will only be available starting later this summer. Until then, in case you want to know how much it will cost (at least in the UK), we can tell you now.

Retailer Handtec is taking pre-orders for the S4 Zoom, asking £467.99 (€552, or $786) for it. That’s almost as much as the price of an unlocked 16GB Galaxy S4.
The Galaxy S4 Zoom is a 15.4mm-thick device that comes with a 16MP rear camera. This has 10x optical zoom, ISO 100 – 3200, and Xenon flash. So it should be a great choice if you’re serious about photography and don’t want to carry multiple devices around.
Camera aside, the S4 Zoom resembles the Galaxy S4 Mini a lot.

Featuring: 

• 4.3 Inch qHD Display
• 16 MP + F 1.9 MP Camera
• 16MP Rear Camera
• 10x Optical Zoom 
• ISO 100 – 3200
• Xenon Flash
• LTE
• NFC
• GPS 
• Wifi
• Bluetooth 4.0 
• MicroSD Solt
• Dual-Core 1.5GHz Snapdragon Processor
• 1.5GB of RAM
• 8GB of Expandable Internal Memory
• Running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
• 2,330mAh Battery

As for the S4 Mini, we already told you that this has been priced at £389.99 in the UK, where it should be available starting July.
July is also the month when Nokia wants to “reinvent” zoom with its Eos Windows Phone 8 handset. Unlike Samsung, which uses traditional optical zoom for the new Galaxy, Nokia relies on PureView, its in-house technology that uses pixel oversampling (alongside other new generation software tricks).via
