The Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom release date has formally pegged as a somewhat vague ‘summer 2013’, but that isn’t stopping a number of retailers letting you register interest in the camera heavy smartphone right now.
Officially announced following weeks of rumours and premature outings, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is a camera-centric smartphone which packs a 16-megapixel CMOS sensor alongside an unparalleled 10x optical zoom. The third direct spinoff of the flagship Samsung Galaxy S4, the Zoom adds a 4.2-inch Super AMOLED display, Google’s Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS and optical image stabilisation to its bulging specs sheet.
Although Samsung has yet to officially announce a Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom release date or price, it has revealed the handset will be made available this summer, and that’s enough for many retailers to start offering pre-orders.
Where can you buy the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom? Read on to find out.
Carphone Warehouse
One of the first to confirm its intentions to stock the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, high street chain Carphone Warehouse is now letting you register your interest in the recently unveiled device.
Pegging the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom release date as “July 2013”, the reputable reseller is, unlike some of its rivals, not currently taking pre-orders for the handset. Instead, it is letting you input your contact information in order to receive notifications as and when further details are available.
The retailer has stated: “We will contact you when the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is available to order.”

Phones 4u
Another leading chain to already confirm its S4 Zoom intentions, Phones 4u has stated it will offer the device straight from the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom release date.
“We are extremely pleased to confirm that we will be stocking the cutting edge 4G camera phone, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom,” Scott Hooton, Chief Commercial Officer at Phones 4u said.
He added: “The latest addition to the Samsung range will be welcomed by those who like to use their smartphones for taking pictures on the go, with its outstanding sensory camera features, including an incredible picture quality for optimum viewing pleasure.”
Again allowing you to register your interest in the 16-megapixel camera phone, Phone 4u is not currently taking Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom pre-orders.

Clove
A lesser known retailer always quick on the draw, Clove is now letting you register interest in the S4 Zoom.
Suggesting “We can notify you when this becomes available,” Clove, like its more high-profile high street counterparts is not presently allowing pre-orders of the Samsung Galaxy S4 spinoff to be made.
Somewhat surprisingly for a company renowned for taking wild stabs at handset’s potential price points or launch periods, Clove has shared no details on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom release date or costing.

Expansys
Already accepting Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom pre-orders, Expansys is one of the more brazen retailers in letting wannabe owners secure the upcoming smartphone just days after it was formally unveiled.
Although hosting a pre-order page, the company has failed to confirm the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom price and is offing consumers a no qualms get out if they change their mind on snapping up the S4’s sibling.
“If you place a pre-order for this product now, we will not ship the product or charge your credit card without confirming you still wish to proceed when stock arrives,” the company’s site reads. “There are no cancellation charges.”

Networks
At present, none of the leading UK networks (EE, O2, Vodafone, Three) have confirmed their intentions to stock the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom.
While all host the handset’s flagship sibling, we would imagine that perhaps just one or two will range the more niche, Zoom edition.
