Samsung Teases Zoom Feature On Instagram; Hints At Galaxy S5 Zoom For April 29 Event

Samsung posted a teaser video of its "Kapture The Moment" event on Instagram, hinting at the next Galaxy smartphone with impressive zoom function.

Ahead of the mysterious 'Kapture The Moment' event this Tuesday, Samsung has teased the venue of the event, Red Dot Design Museum in Singapore by zooming it, strongly hinting at the extensive capabilities of the next camera-focused Galaxy smartphone. The theme of the event also suggests a camera-related launch and several media reports have been expecting the next camera-variant of the Galaxy S5, the Galaxy S5 Zoom aka Galaxy K Zoom due to the emphasis on the letter K.

The new development on the subject was found on Instagram, where a video was posted from the official Samsung Mobile account, showing the venue site from across the road. The main idea behind capturing the building from a distance was to zoom in nine folds to see the name of the venue in clear print and still find the image pixel-free. The short video was tagged with hashtag #TheNextGalaxy and date and time of the event, 11 a.m. SGT, April 29.

As the video almost confirms the launch of Galaxy K Zoom Tuesday, there have been several media reports giving away key specifications of the unannounced smartphone. According to Android Headlines, the Galaxy K Zoom will feature a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED HD display, a Hexa-Core CPU and the most-notable 20-megapixel sensor with 10x optical zoom. The report adds that the new Zoom smartphone is likely to be slightly thinner than last year's Galaxy S4 Zoom. Other features include 2GB RAM, Android 4.4.2 with new TouchWiz UI, a perforated back cover like on the Galaxy S5 and a Xenon flash.

The latest leaked images of the Galaxy S5 Zoom show the new handset in different angles. GSM Arena gathered these images from different Chinese news sites and shows the camera phone in full zoom.

Samsung will officially unveil what's behind the curtain to the public attending the event, Tuesday.
