Special Features (8/10):
Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom is an improved version of other Galaxy Zoom phones which mainly focuses on camera. The feature of capturing pictures and video via this phone is something great. Here are the added features of this phone:
- Android OS v4.4.2 Kitkat
- Hexa-core Processor
- 20MP camera and 2 MP Front camera
- 4.8 inch screen with Corning Gorilla Glass 3
- Super AMOLED screen
- Samsung TouchWiz
Average Rating (8.5/10): Most of the hybrid phones were underpowered. Fortunately, this Galaxy S5 Zoom is a modified version of those phones along with enhancement to both cameras and updated OS feature. Consequently, if you're looking for an enhanced feature and smart set, you will get exactly over here. SAGMart gives 8.5 out of 10 stars to this phone.
Market Value (8.5/10): The Galaxy S5 Zoom is an S4 Zoom’s come back, entertaining an optical zoom lens along with an Android handset. It may be called as best camera or phone. If you are ready to make some compromises or keen to have both the features together, this is the best option for you.
Verdict (8/10): The Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom is clearly a dedicated device for the camera, not a smartphone. Hence it is meant for photo devotees, who want a better camera phone. Yet it is also true that such hybrid phones are more convenient than carrying two particular devices in a single pocket.
