But one day I accidently touch the camera button on the site of the phone while I puttibg into
car glove box on my car door. The zoom len can not strech into glive box and the machemic was malfountion. It would good if it has a lock for camera.

I repeat the same question in order to wait a reply from a Samsung developer:
[ Does anybody know if Samsung will release a Galaxy S7 K Zoom in 2016 ??? ]

I've had the k zoom for eight full months. Coming from an ios and WP 8.1 background, I was disappointed in the software experience. Samsung's interpretation of Android 4.4.2 is clunky. Worse, the camera is useless due to lint buildup in the lens.
I bought the device for the camera, and ultimately I've been disappointed. The camera is amazing, the flash is amazing, the zoom is amazing. The problem? Carrying the phone in your pocket will result in crazy amounts of lint inside the camera lens. Yes, if you are careless enough to put this phone in your pocket, you will ruin the camera. I haven't really been able to use my K zoom as a camera for a few months because of this issue.
Bluetooth connectivity for music has a weird problem-- it drops during a song, then reconnects after shifting the pitch up about half a semi-tone. It makes listening to music via bluetooth an awful experience.
I'm still on the fence about whether or not I'll repair or sell-- a 10X zoom, 20mp camera and xenon flash make this a very strong camera. I would probably tolerate the sub-par software experience to hold on to the amazing, linty camera hardware.

Have been using Samsung Galaxy K Zoom for over a year and generally satisfied with the performance. Great camera with Pro Suggest features for shooting under different conditions and for special effects. However unable to get the flashlight/ torch working so far. On touching the flashlight app the lens pops out but not the light.

Samsung K Zoom is a good phone for camera lovers. The specifications are good. I am using since 1 year without any problem.
Drawbacks
You have to use auto pop up covers to protect lens. This covers will make the phone thick and weight increases
No update to lolipop

Been using samsung galaxy k zoom (SM-C111) since Dec'14-Oct'15, & here is what i feel about it:
Pro:
-Good camera quality especially at night, with/without flash (as it have its night program)
-Good front camera quality
-Zoom capability up to 100M without affecting its photo quality
-Expandable memory/storage
*serve good job in terms of camera quality
Con:
-Heavy & bulky (might be acceptable if it come as dual sim=equal to carrying two phone weight)
-No OS update to lollipop
-Quad & dual core + 2gb of RAM, but sometime still hang badly, up to the point where i have to pull out the battery
-Bad battery performance, especially when taking quite a lot of picture
-Battery heating issues, during taking picture & gaming
-As camera as its main attraction, i prefer it to have the screw hole to attach with camera stand
*excluding the good picture quality, you might need to rencosider buying this device

Bla, bla, bla, etc, etc.
Don't feed to the troll. This smartphone is the b... moreUpdate:
So in one last (3rd) attempt to get my issues resolved I took my camera in for repair at the Oxford Street flagship UK Samsung store. (Operated by Carphone Warehouse.)
Where it has been for 4 weeks and counting! Anyone buying a Samsung should be aware of the levels of customer service you will receive in the event of any issues. I've now been on my old phone for about 2 months this year. I truly love the concept of the K Zoom, and the fact you can shoot 3:2 aspect ratio photos with it. But sadly even if it does get fixed or replaced I'm considering eBay-ing it and switching to a G4 or 5X, as truly the customer service could not be any worse and the more I read the more I am convinced that the same problem will just reoccur.
I'll try and post links to photos of my repair letters from Samsung somewhere so that you can see this is genuine experience.
After complaining about my experience I got a call from their customer service team in Sheffield who basically confirmed that there is nothing they can do to help. That all decisions are taken by the engineers and that the only option is to continue to send it back in for repair until it is actually fixed. Therefore if it's not fixed or replaced this time I'm considering a legal claim under the Sale of Goods act as the lens mechanism is not fit for purpose for a device which is also a phone and kept in a pocket.

Just got this phone and it's expensive for no reason....the S4 zoom i had for 1.5 years and it's much better...better shape, wheel zoom, screw for tripod mounting....this k zoom takes blurry pictures, the pictures taken at a distance are very blurry, flash pictures blurry....it's shit...internet is shit, no 4g , signal drops, battery wears out fast (without camera use, just internet) .... really not worth it ...especially not getting the newer versions of android...last zoom i ever buy...probably last samsung.
