I want to Hoyle for cnet and I'm here checking out the samsung galaxy s4 zoom now when you look at the phone from the front it looks basically like an s4 you got very similar stylings and a 4.3 inch screen turn it round though and you can see it looks a lot like a standard compact digital camera you got the chunky hand grip on the side over here and of course its enormous lens barrel on the other side now that lens provides a 10 times optical zoom making the s4 zoo the only smartphone with an optical zoom built in all that camera kit does of course bulk out the phone it's a lot fatter and heading the standard s4 so won't appeal if you just want a camera focus line into your jeans it's got a 16 megapixel CMOS sensor which is physically bigger than what you'd find in normal smartphones which allowed to take in more light therefore giving better image quality at least that's the idea having to take any test shots yet so we'll have to see what it can really do as a phone it might be a bit disappointing for those of you wanting a fully fledged s4 the screen only has a 960 x 540 pixel display just a big step down for the full HD resolution of the actual s4 and it's a dual rather than quad-core processor running Android 4.2 2.2 jelly bean which samsung has given a few tweaks to make the camera easier to access it was considerably bigger size the s4 zoom isn't going to appeal to those of you wanting a slim and light smartphone to slide into your jeans instead is aimed squarely at the shutter bugs whom valued image quality above pocket ability make sure to keep it cnet for all the latest news and the full review amount of oil and this is a samsung galaxy s4 Z
