Samsung Galaxy K Zoom Smartphone Official Specs Released

About a week ago, some leaked images that were said to be of the Samsung Galaxy K smartphone hit the web. Those images have now been proven correct with Samsung officially announcing the Galaxy K zoom. The rumored specs have been confirmed as well.

The big feature with the Galaxy K Zoom is its 10x optical zoom camera with optical image stabilization and a bright xenon flash. The sensor for its camera is a 20.7MP backside-illuminated CMOS, and the lens has a 24mm-240mm range at f3.1-f6.3. Perhaps most impressive is that all that camera tech is packed into a phone that’s just 16.6mm thick when the lens is retracted. The 4G LTE smartphone has a 2MP front camera. At its heart is a Hexa-core Exynos processor unit with a 1.3GHz quad-core processor and a 1.7GHz dual-core inside.

Other features include Android 4.4 KitKat for the OS, 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC tech. The screen is a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED unit with resolution of 1280 x 720. The processor is paired with 2GB of RAM and the phone has 8GB of storage with a microSD slot for expansion. The battery inside is rated at 2,430 mAh.

Pricing and availability for the Galaxy K Zoom has yet to be announced.

Are Those Pens Real?

Nope, the entire bunch is a multimedia device that can scan codes to play videos, or show off pictures and create an interactive way of reading analog books in our digital world! The speakers of the system are visible at the bottom and function by revolving the cup. The cup holds the pens on the desk and recharges the multimedia pen via induction.

The separate USB – receiver allows you to watch videos on your computer. What an interesting way to view the world!

New Way of Looking At The Big Ben

The Urban Sense is more like a pair of binoculars that reveal magical information about the sight that you are viewing. Designed as an interactive tourist guide, the device is a real winner in my eyes. Now only if it can add a camera function!
