Comparison with Nokia Lumia 1020:
Samsung Galaxy K Zoom is a good competitor for Nokia Lumia 1020 as it has a 20.7 MP Camera with 10x optical Zoom whereas Nokia Lumia 1020 has 41 MP Camera with no Zoom. Nokia Lumia 1020 has a camcorder speed 30 fps whereas Galaxy k Zoom has 60 fps, so Samsung wins this race . If we talk about price then both mobiles are very expensive.
The hardware on the Nokia Lumia 1020 is better than Samsung Galaxy K Zoom, running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core 1.5 GHz processor, 32GB internal storage and 2GB RAM. But it runs on Windows 8.1, which some people don’t prefer whereas Galaxy K Zoom runs on Android version “4.4.2 KitKat”.
Nokia Lumia weighs 158 g whereas Galaxy K Zoom's weight is 200g, So Nokia is better if you don’t want a bulky smartphone. If we talk about screen size then Samsung is better than Nokia as Galaxy K zoom has Screen size of 4.8 inch whereas Nokia Lumia 1020 has screen size 4.5”.
