Samsung Galaxy K zoom Vs Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom: The In-House Camera Battle

Samsung dominance in the smartphone market is worth the study. It's actually interesting to see how the company cashed in on the Android revolution at the right time to dethrone other major players such as Nokia is the Indian domestic market.

Samsung has enjoyed quite a success in the past with its Galaxy series of flagships that have arrived in regular intervals to pose problems for others in the market. Be it the previously released Samsung Galaxy Note, Note 2 or the newly introduced Samsung Galaxy S5.

While Samsung, all this time, has focused its attention on all the features of a certain phone, it's been quite rare that the company has only focused on a single aspect of a device and worked on that. We are talking about the in-device camera, of course.

Mobile manufacturers such as Sony have quite a reputation for bringing out devices with a dedicated camera and has been a superior choice for most fans looking for a great camera handset at an affordable price.

Now it seems like Samsung is looking to target that popularity with devices such as the Samsung Galaxy K zoom and the Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom.

While both these devices have dedicated features of their own, how do they stack up when compared against each other? Let's take a closer look at a comparison between the Samsung Galaxy K zoom and the Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom.
