Samsung's unannounced and camera-centric Galaxy S5 Zoom has shown up in an Antutu benchmark, revealing the smartphone's official specs.
With each passing day leading up to the April 11 launch of the Galaxy S5, Samsung is watching one of its unannounced Galaxy S5 variants leak in the form of reported specs and an image of the handset. The smartphone is the follow up to last year's Galaxy S4 Zoom, which converged a smartphone and high-end point and shoot camera.
We first started to hear about the Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom a few weeks ago and soon an image of the smartphone made its way to the web to show its redesign. SamMobile is reporting that one of its sources has provided the site with the Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom's official specs and its Antutu benchmark.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom is listed as model number SM-C115 and will reportedly feature a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 720. The handset will use a Samsung Exynos 5 Hexa-core processor, which uses two 1.7GHz Cortex-A15 cores and four 1.3GHz Cortex-A7 cores and a quad-core ARM Mali-T624 GPU. The device will use 2GB of RAM and a microSD expansion slot (the site does not list internal storage or what capacity microSD cards the Galaxy S5 Zoom will use).
Since the Galaxy S5 Zoom's main purpose is to converge a smartphone and camera, Samsung has packed in a 20.2-megapixel rear camera with Xenox flash, Optical Image Stabilization and 10x optical zoom. The handset will also have a 2.1-megapixel front facing camera for video chat.
The S5 Zoom will run Android 4.4.2 KitKat out of the box and Samsung's updated version of TouchWiz that will make its debut on the Galaxy S5. Other features include 4G LTE radio, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 4.0 LE (Low Energy), GPS, and NFC. Samsung has also included an IR blaster to allow you to use the handset as a universal remote control with its WatchON program guide and service. The report did not list what capacity battery the Galaxy S5 Zoom will ship with.
