The Samsung Galaxy Zoom is very good in the hand and is very well made.
Phone:
+ Very good voice quality and very good reception (even in poorly served areas)
+ Good and sharp display. To protect I have a Dispos matte film mounted.
+ Androit 4.22. No stuttering everything runs very fast and flowing. Apps are sufficiently available.
+ Very good speakers and loud ringtones.
+ The battery is replaceable.
Camera:
+ I have the Nokia 925, the HTC One and iPhone 5 for comparison. The Samsung camera takes much sharper images than comparable. Especially the 10 specialist optical zoom is a big advantage.
SLR cameras play of course in a different league, here the Samsung camera can not keep up, of course. However, for a very good camera always with enough zoom, the Samsung smartphone easy.
The autofocus fits perfectly in every situation and the image stabilization ensures shake-free images.
+ There is an expert mode where you can adjust the camera settings manually. Many automatic programs are also available. (Continuous shooting, Best Photo, eraser, picture frames, etc. Of course, programs for sports, retakes, Macro just everything you could wish for.
Filming in HD quality are also possible. Here comes the Nokia 925 is equal.
A tripod socket is also available.
+ The battery lasts in spite of photography, Internet and some Telfonaten loose by one day. In Standbye mode, the battery hardly decreases.
+ As soon as one uses a 64 GB Micro SD card and you will be asked whether the camera activates the photos to be saved in the future to the SD card.
- No LTE
- Zoom function is not directly possible on the trip but only on the display or on the lens.
Despite the somewhat larger form, the Samsung Zoom is very good in the hand and can be also good transport in your pocket.
Before buying the smartphone, but you should take it in the shop in the hand. The only way to be sure whether it comes into question.
The Samsung S4 Zoom will be my constant companion in the future.
