In the later hours of last night, leakster extraordinaire @evleaks revealed another device soon to join AT&T’s lineup later this year: the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom. A strange mix of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and the Samsung Galaxy Camera, the device combines an awkward mish-mash of mid-range specs and above average optics.
Our own Rob Jackson gave you guys a hands-on back when the device was officially unveiled back in June, and it looks AT&T might be the only carrier crazy enough to pick this one up. The device is definitely than a snicker. As a refresher, specs from the Galaxy S4 Zoom include:
- 4.3-inch qHD display
- 1.5GHz dual-core processor
- 1.5GB of RAM
- 8GB of internal storage
- 1.9 megapixel front-facing camera
- NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi N
- Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with TouchWiz
- 4G LTE
- 2,330mAh battery
The 16MP 10x zoom camera could be the deciding factor for soccer moms and Joe Schmoes. These types don’t necessarily need a super powerful smartphone, but might want to snap and share pics of the kids during family outings. You can see from the image, a few AT&T apps will be added to Samsung and Google’s. The only thing left is for AT&T to make the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom official.
Why now?
I wonder what kinda people would buy such a thing.
People with a purse large enough to stuff this inside.
Lol, yes, that’s true. I would love to see my mom buying something like that on her own, before a trip to orlando or so… that’d be hilarious.
They still want specs, no?
The updated Samsung Memoir. I want this. Even though I take regular pictures and won’t even use it to it’s full capacity. LoL!!
It’s just them memories, though. My first smartphone; I can have it again.
Scumbag Samsung calling a device a S4 with Galaxy S2 specs.
File under turd.
Meh~
They gives us THIS but they can’t give us a slideout qwerty keyboard???
Why call it S4? It is not even close to the specs.
