The specifications for the upcoming Galaxy S4 Zoom were confirmed by Samsung in a recent press release.

Official images of the camera smartphone hybrid were also leaked showing off a device that looks like a mix between a smaller Galaxy S4 and the Galaxy Camera.

Specifications for the Galaxy S4 Zoom include a 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED display with 960 x 540 resolution, 1.5GB RAM, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 8GB of internal memory, a microSD card slot, a 16-megapixel camera with 10x Optical Zoom, a 1.9-megapixel front camera, Bluetooth, NFC, a 2330mAh battery, and Android 4.2, JellyBean.

Many of the recent rumors regarding the device's specifications were correct. It will also come with some new camera features including Zoom Ring which lets users easily access its commands, In-Call Photo Share that allows for users capturing and sending images via MMS to the person they are talking to and Photo Suggest, which instantly connects users to huge libraries of images taken by fellow photographers.

The Galaxy S4 Zoom comes with Smart Mode and Smart Mode Suggest, which helps users take better photos without worrying about technical problems on the device.

Samsung did not announce pricing or release date information for the S4 Zoom. However, it could end up making an appearance at a special event set to take place in London on June 20 where a slew of other Samsung products are expected to be shown off by the company.

Samsung will also launch the water proof, dust proof Galaxy S4 Active later on this year along with the Galaxy S4 Mini and the pure Android Galaxy S4 Google Edition, which eliminates the company's stock software from the handset.
