Sammobile has leaked a picture of Samsung’s camera with a phone attached.

The handset is rather bulky, and makes the Nokia EOS look decidedly anorexic, such that anyone complaining about the bulk of the handset will appear rather ridiculous.

The Galaxy S4 Zoom is also not the specs monster the Galaxy S4 is. The handset is said to feature, Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, a 4.3” qHD sAMOLED display a 1.6GHz dual-core processor, 16 megapixel camera sensor with optical zoom, 8 GB intern with extern micro SD up to 64 GB, Bleutooth 4.0 LE Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, and A-GPS, but no LTE. The Galaxy S4 Zoom runs on Samsung’s own Touch-Wiz Nature UX interface.

I think knowing the screen sizes are pretty close between the two devices (4.3 vs 4.5 inches) one can see how large the handset actually is. Of course, the Zoom does have Instagram…

Do our readers agree Samsung have lost their mind, and that Nokia’s approach to the ultimate camera phone is much more palatable? Let us know below.
