The Galaxy Camera isn’t just an Android device. It’s a camera.
The device, which comes in black and white, looks like an average point-and-shoot camera from the front. But flip it over and there’s a huge 4.8-inch touch-screen HD display on the back.
The Galaxy Camera boasts a 21x optical zoom lens (23-483mm f/2.8-5.9 equivalent) and a 16-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor. The sensor is 1/2.3 inches in size, matching the current standard for point-and-shoot cameras.
Samsung has built in some interesting looking software too centered around editing and managing all your captured content. Best Group Pose for example, allows you to take continuous shots, and the camera will recognise the faces in the pictures, and then let the user choose their favorites to compile the best overall shot. Samsung have promised 35 built in editing features.
Once editing is out of the way, Samsung has included on-device management tools to keep everything organized. Images can be searched for by time and location, and automatic cloud backup is also built in. Additionally, the Galaxy Camera through its Smart Content Manager can create and manage folders, and will offer suggestions on which photos you should delete based on overall image quality.
The Galaxy Camera will be released to market during Q4 2012, although pricing hasn’t yet been announced.
