25x ?
you do realize this one has a 20.7MP sensor, don't you? that's about half of lumia 1020's. with just a x2 magnification, it can already zoom in to an equivalent amount of detail that the 1020 takes per inch of an image. it can do x10 magnification so that's around 5x the amount of detail per inch compared to 1020's snaps.
we'll see. hopefully, somebody can come up with comparisons soon. with samsung's knack for sharpness throughout a photo, i have more faith that this will produce better results. it's an android device, it can optically zoom, and it has a removable battery. i'm quite sure this will best pureview 808 and 1020.
of course, i know those are old devices but unless nokia/microsoft comes up with new devices, our comparisons will be limited to them.

This K Zoom won't better the 808/1020, that's for sure.

I am right that the 1020 zooms in or can zoom in 25x after the picture was taken and you can reframe and crop.
3x lossless zoom whislt taking pictures, 25x zoom after, plus 4x on 1080p video and 6x on 720p video.

Majority of phones out there have plastic even Nokia. It's just named polycarbonate to make it sound better. From what I have learned that plastic lasts a long time & dents & scratches alot less than metal. Samsung's plastics are actually more durable than you may think. My Note 3 is rock solid & it is not heavy so the lighter it is, the lighter it falls. My brother had a Samsung for 2 years & it never cracked or bent. Yes metal is nice but it doesn't make it any more durable. Samsung had some issues with cracked casings on GS3 etc but that was resolved. Sony had many issues with their glass & plastic. Glass & aluminium fare alot worse in drop tests. I much prefer the plastic Samsung uses now which is no longer glossy

The fact that Nokia, a veteran at building solid phones uses polycarbonate rather than metal in the vast majority of their phones says it all, IMO. The whole plastic vs. metal argument was long settled IMO, metal just complicates everything.

It's their Cameraphone but it doesn't have to have the best optics as it isn't a premium device, Samsung put the point of the K in its name: ZOOM, that's what its about, clearly the ISOCELL camera is either meant for the top end OR due to production issues (remember they had this with S5?) they've decided to go with a Sony sensor in the K Zoom and get production of the ISOCELL ready for Note 4.

Hi Bono. I agree metal/aluminium body not are good for drops , scratch tests , but metal body absolutely necessary for better heat cooling on very powerful android devices. In hands metal body better feeling too.

In terms of IQ, no.
In terms of zooming, yes.
The nokia package is much more compact, hence the zooming ability is not that great. If you look at the size vs. zoom abilities of both devices you might change your mind.

But the 1020 can zoom 25x after photos so surely that's an advantage over the K Zoom?
Have to say though, these shots from the K Zoom are quite good.
