Full Specs Reportedly Leak for Samsung’s Galaxy S4 Active and Galaxy S4 Zoom

Samsung is apparently going balls to the wall with different variants of their latest flagship device, the Galaxy S4. We have known for about a month that we would be seeing a Galaxy S4 Mini, as well as a Galaxy S4 Active, a dust and water-resistant version of the regular Galaxy S4. One variant that we have not yet covered is the Galaxy S4 Zoom, a device that is said to look like a Galaxy S4 Mini, but comes packed with a massive 16MP camera sensor, capable of a 10x optical zoom. Basically, it’s a Galaxy Camera in the shape of a cellphone. 

Full specifications have reportedly leaked for the S4 Zoom and S4 Active, but we have seen most of the Active’s specs and even its looks thanks to a previous leak. The S4 Zoom is reported to feature a 4.3″ Super AMOLED display, a 1.6GHz dual-core CPU with no 4G LTE connectivity, Jelly Bean (no word on which version), a 1,900mAh battery and that massive 16MP back-facing camera.

Galaxy S4 Zoom Specs:

• 4.3” 540x960px Super AMOLED display
• 1.6 GHz dual-core CPU, no LTE support
• Android Jelly Bean OS
• 8 GB of built-in memory, micro-SD support
• 1.9mpx fron facing camera
• 16 megapixel main camera, with 10x Optical Zoom
• Bluetooth 4.0LE, Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n, A-GPS
• 1900 mAh battery

Galaxy S4 Active Specs:

• 5” Super AMOLED Full HD display
• Quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 CPU
• Adreno 320 GPU
• 2GB of RAM
• Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS
• LTE support
• 16GB of built-in memory, microSD support
• Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, NFC, IR blaster
• 2600 mAh battery

Below, I would like folks to throw out some ideas as to why we need that many megapixels inside of a cellphone. If the specs are true and there is no LTE on the device, uploading files of that size on 3G/HSPA+ is going to test one’s patience. No doubt.
