Samsung Galaxy Camera: Review & Specification
Samsung has finally launched the Galaxy Camera in India. The mobile companies are improving their devices interms of cameras and zooming quality. Many people prefer camera as an important aspect while buying camera. .Technology has been changed so drastically that sometimes it becomes impossible to think what would be next. We have seen such drastic changes in Mobiles, Tablets, Computers, Televisions and so on. Even the kitchens appliances are in the race for providing best technology to customers. Mainly to prove their identity in the market in terms of technology. If all this things are changing then why not cameras?
The answer to this is Samsung. Yes, Samsung thought about it and created Galaxy Camera. The 16 Megapixel camera has 21x Optical Zoom Lens with BSI CMOS sensor. It packs in a 4.8-inch (1280 x 720 pixels) HD Super Clear Touch Display with 308 ppi and is powered by a 1.4 GHz Quad-Core processor and runs on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean).
Design and Display:
No doubt that this is the best one of the best design that Samsung has gave till now. The Galaxy camera is a slick looking device. The black and white combination looks too good compared to previous handsets. The front of the camera is clad in white, with a large 23mm lens on the right, and a small rubberized grip on the left. The back is simply a large 4.8-inch touch screen in black. It consists of a shutter button surrounded by small circular zoom ring and a power button in the middle. Galaxy Camera consists of 4.8 inch screen and 1280 x 720 HD Super Clear LCD display. I think it is much enough to watch movies, videos or YouTube.
Along with it, it has a 3.5 mm jack and a microUSB port with small cover to it. The left side has a button to activate the flash. The bottom side of the Galaxy Camera consists of battery, SIM card, microSD card and a microHDMI port.
The weight measures of around 10.8 ounces with 5.07 x 2.79 x 0.75 inches. Which means that it can easily fit in our pocket or in a small case that you can carry with you anywhere you go. Might be a problem to fit in pants :) So need to carry an extra jacket with you to keep it in it.
