The Samsung Galaxy S4 will be available to consumers in the UK from as early as next week, according to information from online retailer Clove.
A sale date for the 16-megapixel toting Android 4.2 Jelly Bean device has been pegged for July 8, with the company taking pre-orders for the S4 Zoom as of now. It's envisaged that the Zoom will be either available on that date itself or within the following few days and will be priced at £442.80.
Unwrapped at Samsung's Premiere 2013 event held at London's Earl's Court last week, thesmartphone/compact digital camera hybrid features a 16-megapixel lens with optical image stabilisation, 10x optical zoom, and 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 960x540 pixels.
Other specs include a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera, 1.5GHz processor, 1GB RAM and 8GB of internal storage. Card expansion via microSD is supported for up to 64GB.
While many have sceptically eyed its positioning as a mobile device due to its bulky 125.5x63.5x15.4mm frame and weight of 208g, it looks like the S4 Zoom will be regarded as a genre-defining device as it is the first of its kind to combine such camera specs (24mm F3.1-F6-3 lens and 10x optical zoom) with an Android OS and the ability to perform call functions.
Samsung's Galaxy Camera brought Google's mobile platform to the compact camera last year but although it supports a SIM card for data connectivity, phone calls are not possible.
The news comes just as Nokia is about to hold a launch in New York City on July 11. The event is widely speculated to see the unveiling of the Nokia EOS/Lumia 1020, tipped to feature a 41-megapixel lens.
