South Korean handset maker Samsung Electronics on Tuesday launched in India a new smartphone, featuring a specialised camera. The Galaxy K zoom is equipped with new retracting lens technology which provides 10x optical zoom. The phone has a 20.7 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor. According to Samsung, the camera shoots excellent pictures in low-light conditions and provides Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) to reduce blur caused by movement. In addition it has a Xenon Flash that provides a brighter light than LEDs. The new device also integrates the most advanced camera usability features and functions, including a Selfie Alarm that allows users to take timed selfies with ease, and object tracing for a clear, focused shot of a moving subject. Each feature comes with a simple User Interface, allowing users to easily capture photos and videos with ground-breaking quality, in any situation.
