These both devices were attempts by Samsung to create a mobile phone with integrated 10× [**optical** zoom](http://archive.today/2013.06.30-033558/http://www.photoxels.com/digital-photography-tutorials/optical-digital-zoom/). (Phone and compact camera hybrid) Although a very creative and fancy idea, it apparently never sold so well. Possibly because many average users did not know the benefits of optical zoom and those who did already own a dedicated camera with optical zoom, and maybe users considered it too thick per battery size for a mobile phone. ---- I have actually seen one Galaxy K Zoom user in 2015, but that's all.
