Although many believed that the company had already introduced the successor to last year's Galaxy Camera and presented it as S4 Zoom, in fact it is not. The company introduced a new one a little while ago Galaxy Camera 2, a hybrid camera with a system Android. The product unveiling took place in the form of a press release, which notes that those interested will be able to try the product at CES 2014, which takes place from January 7-10, 2014.
This time, the product boasts a newer design that matches other innovations, including Galaxy Note 3 a Galaxy Note 10.1 "2014 Edition". Aye Galaxy Camera 2 therefore offers a body consisting of pleasant leatherette, but maintains an intuitive and classic design. Perhaps the most important feature is the camera. It is practically the same from a paper point of view, but there have been minor software modifications that, according to Samsung, will ensure a higher quality of photos than the first model Galaxy Camera. Even now we encounter a 16,3-megapixel BMI CMOS sensor, an aperture moving in the span f2.8 to 5.9, while users can use up to 21x zoom. There is optical image stabilization and software functions that are designed specifically for the camera.
Smart Mode will offer up to 28 preset shooting modes, which will take care of the professional or creative touch of the given photo. With such a large number of modes, the Smart Mode Suggest function is also very useful to help you choose the best possible mode for the photo you want to capture. The system works by analyzing the scenery, lighting and objects in detail and chooses the ideal option accordingly. One of the modes is the Selfie Alarm, which helps you choose the best of five photos that you take from different angles. You can then immediately share the photo on social networks. The video is not far behind with the modes, and therefore you have the Multi Motion Video mode available, which allows you to set the speed of the video, with the option of slowing it down or speeding it up to eight times.
In terms of hardware, Samsung has made sure that the product does not fall behind in any way, and that is why we find very powerful hardware in it. There is a 4-core processor with a frequency of 1.6 GHz, an operating memory of 2 GB of RAM and users will find 8 GB of Flash storage inside the device. Unfortunately, they only have 2,8 GB available, which Samsung compensates for by adding a microSD card with a capacity of up to 64 GB, and Dropbox storage with a size of 50 GB for two years is also available. There is also a battery with a capacity of 2000 mAh, we do not yet know the real endurance of the device on a single charge. However, in addition to the hardware, the battery also has to power the 4.8-inch touchscreen LCD display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.
