A statement from Samsung Ghana on Monday said “the new device is set to be launched in Ghana on the July 26 this month.”
“As a new innovative addition to the GALAXY S4 family, the S4 Zoom is more than a phone. It takes the body of a 4.3 inch Galaxy S4 mini and adds a 16MP CMOS sensor and 10x optical zoom to create a new category in the market.”
