EDIT: Sorry for the interlacing issue, folks; we had a hard time getting new footage to play with stock review shots. Too late to fix now, unfortunately. (Full description below)

It's the phone that made us go "wha?" at Samsung's London Premiere 2013 event, the one that gave us the first concrete indication that the company wasn't sticking to a single device with its Galaxy S 4 lineup. Alongside products like the Galaxy S 4 Active and Galaxy S 4 Mini, the Zoom showed us just how serious Samsung was about flooding the market with variations on a theme - and "variation" is the perfect word for this mutant monster of a mobile.

Our own Anton D. Nagy was the lucky team member who got to review this one, but due to the physical distance between our offices (4,291 miles, according to Google), I didn't get to take the demo unit for a spin before it had to be sent back. Therefore, I never got a chance to experience the sheer absurdity of putting a camera up to my face to make a call (though I did already have some experience in this area).

Now, thanks to the just-released AT&T variant of the S 4 Zoom, I've been given the opportunity to see firsthand what happens when a company decides to meld a Galaxy S 4 Mini with a Galaxy Camera. If that sounds like the kind of bizarre enterprise that boils your noodles, click on through to the review rebuttal above - then let us know what kind of review you'd give the Galaxy S 4 Zoom if given the chance!
