There are rumors going around that this is the sequel to the Samsung Galaxy Camera released last year. The camera is powered by Android OS with huge 4.8-inch touchscreen display and 21x zoom feature. The camera had flaws which Sammy probably wants to rectify with the S4 Zoom.

Online information confirms that the Galaxy S4 Zoom will be having a 4.3-inch touchscreen panel with qHD AMOLED display. It will be powered by the latest Android Jelly Bean OS and Samsung’s own TouchWiz Nature UX interface along with dual-core/quad-core processor, 8GB internal storage, microSD support up to 64GB, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi and built-in A-GPS. Of course, what sets it apart from other phone models is its powerful 16 megapixel camera with 10x zoom (previously said to be 21x). It will be offered in either black or white colors.

More details will be divulged on the forthcoming Galaxy Camera 2 as we near its release date around June or July of this year. No price details were mentioned but considering its specs, there’s a possibility that Samsung will offer this handset at an affordable price – probably less than its Galaxy S IV flagship. Stay tuned.

AppleInsider:

The parts were highlighted by French Apple site Nowhereelse on Thursday, and bear a strong resemblance to the corner of the iPhone 5 motherboard. But there are some key differences between the existing phone’s component and the newly pictured part claimed to be from an unreleased iPhone model.

The tweaked design is found in the part of the motherboard that has in the past powered the camera and flash in previous models. While ribbons holding the part were two separate pieces in the iPhone 5, the new component is in a single piece.

It’s unknown if the part could be destined for the “iPhone 5S”, or the much rumored low-cost iPhone, both which are expected to be introduced later this year.

The pictured component was obtained by Japanese retailer Moumantai, which has also been the source of previous leaks of alleged next-gen iPhone components.
