CHIP Online was again extensively lay hands on the Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom and undergo an extensive photo test. All test images are in full resolution are available, including a full ISO bracketing. Surprisingly, when tested pre-production model: When ten times zoom seems to have rounded up some. More in the gallery. Original announcement on 20 June 2013:
zoom Samsung has indeed already been presented to the Android smartphone Galaxy S4. CHIP Online Now could consider the novelty mobile phone with powerful camera but closer and undergo a short test – at today’s (June 20) Samsung event in London

Galaxy S4 Zoom: Great phone camera
installed in Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom, a 16 megapixel camera with ten times optical zoom. A combination which does not exist so far in this class. In particular the “real” zoom is omitted from current camera phones. Reason: This component requires a lot of space – which also makes the Galaxy S4 zoom to a thick smartphone. The f-number is between f / 3,1 and f / 6,3. A Xenon flash allows pictures at night. In the indirect predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy camera, the resolution is the same, but the zoom is 21-fold. Another difference is that while the Galaxy Camera could not make phone calls, this is the S4 zoom quite possible .
Galaxy S4 Zoom: Android 4.2 meets many camera features
Factory Samsung uses the Android operating system 4.2.2 with the company’s own TouchWiz user interface. While known functions such as S and S Voice Translator on board are from the Galaxy S4, Samsung uses software to other camera features. So it is also next to shooting “Best Photo”, “Best Face”, give a child mode, twilight, panoramic, macro, party and Schneemodi. About “Group Play” and “Share Picture” share your photos and videos easily with other devices.
Galaxy S4 Zoom: For Germany without LTE
The Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom will come in the summer of this year at a price of 499 euros in the trade.
Samsung sets the standard for wireless radio on-Fi (a / b / g / n), Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC. To LTE customers have to do without in this country. By default, 8GB internal memory. This can be expanded using microSD card up to 64 GB. 1.5 GB of RAM and 1.5 GHz dual core CPU do the computing power. Operation is via a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED, which dissolves with 960 x 540 pixels. The dimensions are 125.5 x 63.5 x 15.4 mm, the weight is also despite the great camera with 208 gram limited. The battery has a capacity of 2,330 mAh.
Galaxy S4 zoom: Short test – high level photo
Come sound interesting we are the most important things, the image quality: With our. prototype device it is at a similarly satisfactory level as other travel zoom cameras by the manufacturer. That does not sound euphoric, but for a cell phone is a very good quality (see first test image in the photo gallery.) In the daytime look sharp crack, even hones in parts. From ISO 800, the noise reduction makes itself noticeable, ISO 1600, it is badly pixelated and noisy. More can be in advance of the picture quality does not say, only a final test device will bring more light into the dark here. It remains at this image quality we would (not the OS), but decide with respect to the camera for the Nokia Pure View, which provides excellent results in natural light, compact cameras in the shade. Incidentally, the 2,3-image sensor, the Samsung praises so highly, is only a default size of compact cameras
Now for the first impressions: In the first test during the presentation of the device with Android 4.2 ran very smoothly. In the OS, the manufacturer has, as usual packed his own TouchWiz user interface. Well we liked the function to make the camera very fast takeoff by rotating the zoom wheel. The many extra gimmicks, such as the tour guide – a sort of city-photo guide – and quick way to send photos during a call to the other party,
class=”general2″> CHIP Online says:.
The Galaxy S4 zoom is more camera with mobile phone function as a mobile phone with a camera feature. With its 10x optical zoom, the device becomes the big stuff that makes itself felt in his pocket. So the question arises: Will you carry such a bulky phone with them constantly, or if the phone like a digital camera mainly eke out his existence in the drawer? Especially for the second case, it is therefore too expensive. At least 500 euro you have to spend to launch it now.
But who is willing to pay this price and does not interfere on the size, receives a thoroughly interesting hybrid device. (lbr / wh / mwa)

| When will takes these pixel mania finally come to an end, people still do not seem to catch on, that more pixels are not equal better image quality, which is currently really only for cameras with APS-C and larger sensors (full frame and medium format (Hasselblad, Leica S, Pentax 645)), in the small sensors of compact cameras, the zenith has been exceeded, the 16 megapixel & Co. only bring on paper what the noise they are usually worse than that with only 12 or 10 megapixels . Explanation: The more pixels you have a sensor, they are the smaller (for the same sensor size) and the less light strikes the individual photocell / diodes, so that one but not the exposure time must extend / wants, you either need the lens light make stronger (but this usually expensive) or the sensitivity of the photocells / diode / sensor increase, by the latter, there is usually (This is physics) more defective pixels, which translates to a greater image noise for worse pictures than makes with fewer pixels. | |

| I find the same. A counter experiment is the Ultra pixels, Go from HTC, only bears fruit not so really. | |
| From: Marcello95 | on: 08:05:13 21:15 |
| Or the 808 Pure View from Nokia, which has nominally 41 megapixel sensor, stores dei images but with 5 megapixels (each 8 pixels each with a “super pixels” together), thus these are but then crystal clear and you can zoom without loss, the camera is very thick and the rest of the device, well, for the price you can prefer a professional compact like the PowerShot G15 or S110 , Fuji X20, Nikon P7700 or the Pana LX-7 buy these, DSLMs (System Cameras) and DSLRs are smartphones probably can never replace, but there were times rumors of a iCamera, that should probably be a system camera, but it does not work should be, but a dock for the iPhone 5, but since there are already System Cameras with Wi-Fi, GPS and touch screen … | |

| Quote: yes, in this experiment we have seen for example that it is indeed not entirely without pixel ;-) | |

| Who is talking about pixels? The camera is as far as I read “Zoom” and solves 16Mpixel on … If you recognize it, the camera has an optical lens. words it is to lay the focus, not the pixels … According completely unwieldy and unusable for a “mobile” … So brain AN – Some here probably need to internalize again
