Samsung wants to make a phone for every conceivable moment or situation and that is the Samsung Galaxy K zoom is also the case. This new model of Samsung should prove useful in situations where the ‘normal’ camera of the phone is no longer adequate, but you also want to take again. No big SLR cameras
