Technology giant, Samsung has grown to become a consumer focused company that produces products to meet the needs and demands of a fast changing world.

For years now, the company has released several innovative products onto the Ghanaian market, and world market, but the one that catches my attention as  a journalist and a lover of photography is the Samsung Galaxy K Zoom.

Building on the success chalked up by the Galaxy S4 Zoom last year, the Galaxy K Zoom is crafted with a slimmer body with most of the smartphone components built from the Galaxy S5.

The device boasts a 4.8 Super AMOLED screen and a camera experience that beats its competitors.

The Galaxy K Zoom is armed with a 20.7 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor and a 10x optical zoom that retracts into its remarkably slim body. It also captures crisp, sharp images, as well as Full HD videos at 60p, even when zoomed in.

With all these impressive features, the Galaxy K Zoom is the perfect device manufactured to serve the everyday photography needs of journalists, students, corporate individuals and photo lovers.

As a journalist, an online journalist for that matter, the regular camera most often turns out to be too bulky to carry for assignments. For online journalism, photography plays a key role in getting a complete story - it paints a full picture.

A good photo accompanying a story tells the story better.

The Galaxy K Zoom is an exciting piece of technology that has one side as a phone and the other side as a camera, and most importantly, it is very convenient to carry.

It is not bulky and heavy! It has dimensions of 137.5 x 70.8 x 16.6 mm (5.41 x 2.79 x 0.65 in) and  a weight of 200 g (7.05 oz) - a perfect device for the pocket.

With the constant need to file stories on the go, pushing news information on the go or taking memorable but excellent photos, the Galaxy K Zoom is the perfect friend built to deliver.

The regular mobile device has a camera built to take pictures but with the K Zoom's 20.7 megapixel camera, one gets to capture professional images with ease. It is your handy professional camera.

Equipped with photo and video editing features or apps in the Galaxy Apps store and the Google Play Store, journalists and photo lovers can easily edit their photos on the go without having to rely on a computer.

I am a social media - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc - freak. Social media go hand in hand with quality and exciting photos including 'Selfies'. The Galaxy K Zoom has turned out to be the best companion for social media freaks like me.

An interesting feature about the K Zoom is its long lasting battery life. With up to 4 hours battery life, one can work - take photos - and receive calls without worrying about the battery running out.

Just like the Galaxy S5, the Galaxy K Zoom is armed with an Ultra Power Saving feature that gives the user up to 24 hours battery life with just 10% battery power.

In all the Galaxy K Zoom has turned out to be a perfect work companion for me as a journalist giving me the needed results and edge while on the go.
