The Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom smartphone is finally up for pre-order on the Samsung India website for Rs 29,390 – the smartphone was launched at Rs 29,900. After officially announcing it last month, Samsung Electronics finally launched the Galaxy S4 zoom smartphone in India this month alongside the Galaxy S4 mini.

The smartphone boasts of features like 10x optical zoom, 16MP CMOS Sensor, OIS and Xenon flash. The smartphone is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and is fuelled by a 2330 mAh battery.

What do you think, eh?

Here is a quick look at the main specs of the Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom:

4.3 inch qHD sAMOLED screen with a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels
3G, EDGE/GPRS, Wi-Fi
Bluetooth 4.0 (LE)
16MP rear camera with 10x optical zoom, Sub (Front) 1.9MP camera
GPS with A-GPS for Google Maps
8GB internal memory + microSD slot for memory expansion up to 64GB

The Galaxy S4 zoom smartphone runs on Android Jelly Bean 4.2. It includes Touchwiz as on the recently announced Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone, which can help you fully customise various aspects of your device, including the lock screen and notification bar.

The S4 zoom features a Zoom Ring that can be used to access the Galaxy S4 Zoom’s key features. When you’re in the middle of a phone call and you see something you absolutely have to share, a quick twist of the Zoom Ring will activate the In-call Photo Share feature that allows you to capture and send an image directly via MMS to whoever you are talking to. In addition to that, the Zoom Ring can be used to activate the Quick Launch and Shortcut features for access to multiple camera modes, including Auto, Gallery and Smart Mode. It is available in white and black colours.

Woah! 16MP shooter at the back!

There are a few introductory offers on the smartphone, including free flip cover, interest-free EMI offer for 6 months and 2GB 3G data free per month for 3 months from Reliance. If you’re keen on pre-ordering the smartphone, click here.
