All that power and only a 720p screen - that will get criticised greatly.

Hexa-core at 1.3 gig? Seems a tad low to me speedwise

Coudl this be an attempt to maximise the battery life? Like you (I guess) I would have thought less, but faster, cores would have been a better idea.

I'm in two minds about this camera/phone. I like the idea of the optical zoom very much, but I see a whole load of problems with it. Most obviously being that it'd be a pig to find a case or car mount to fit that weird shape. Then, I guess, you're also leaving yourself wide open to ridicule - it's not exactly "discrete" is it?

Finally, I've come to the conclusion that I'm cooling on Samsung - both my tablet and phone seem to be getting slower and slower with every OS or system software update. And they (Samsung) seem to be insistent on pushing more and more "value added" stuff to my devices. It's getting to the point where I'm seriously considering flashing a 3rd party ROM on them just to gain some measure of control back!

What continues to amaze me is that Samsung sell these devices (the zoom and beam) with lower specs than the main line device. FFS, WHY?

People don't want to carry multiple devices. My standard smartphone camera critcism is that they're slow to get into cam mode, fix that + add a decent lens, add a beamer for show'n'tell and you're away laughing....
