The only real benefit was the zoom quality, but after that it was just a ok for a smartphone , it never even rivalled my canon compact digital , and came nowhere near my higher end dslr series of cameras, not even my old ones

Would be awesome to have this phone in modern design. Like with Samsung S20 or Huawei P40 camera and optical zoom lens like in this phone and decent phone electronics. Phone part would be not much thicker than my existing Samsung S9+ in thick protective cover. Size would allow to use larger battery as well. It would be dream camera phone for anyone who is not obsessed with insanely slim phones.

Unrivalled optics in a smartphone at the fraction of the cost of a modern high end phone. Still beats most 2021 phones camerawise. I am not really sure why Samsung never made a follow-up version - I believe there would be a huge market for this. Mine fell out of a car once and was run over by several other cars behind me. Still works like a charm until today - even when I use it only on the side, nowadays.

Periscope lens is not a new idea since ASUS has started it with the Zenfone Zoom in late 2015, but the zoom range is pretty limited.
As for pixel binning, that has never been an effective solution for digital zooming as all the pixels have been binned in the first place to create a larger effective pixel size, thus leaving very little room for lossless zoom. A little surprise on why both Nokia 808 PureView and Nokia Lumia 1020 still has a great short zoom performance compared to today's modern smartphone with Quad Bayer sensor.
Not everyone posts pics on social media, I myself prefer to post my photos on Flickr. If we can have an updated version of this smartphone with a 1" RGB sensor and 10x optical zooming alongside the latest SD 888 or SD 870 chipset, that would instantly be my new daily driver.

If i want a higher quality picture, i will choose pocket camera with 1 inch sensor or mirrorless or dslr made, still superb image quality due to internal image processor

Samsung, 25 Nov 2020Pls just buy a new one for photographers, optical zoom is still best. wish Samsung re-release even old models of this. it's still much sought after-even use it as dashcam just needed to install a n app. Mine got stolen when they broke in my car. Samsung, why not upgrade this model id be one of the first to order

Just for perspective:
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra that came out in 2021 takes pictures that are roughly ON PAR with this thing. The Galaxy K zoom was an absolute beast in smartphone photography when it came out.

As i probably wont be able to afford it while its brand new, im gonna have to wait several years after it gets released, and although im not in an immediate rush to upgrade, i also dont want to wait too many years for it...
