The Samsung Galaxy Camera is a point-and-shoot camera which is an Android based mobile device. Samsung announced the camera in August 2012, with the slogan "Camera. Reborn."[1][2] The device was officially released on 8 November 2012, with web sales beginning on 7 November.[3]

Specifications[edit]

The camera features a 16 megapixel CMOS sensor and a 21x optical zoom lens, as well as Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, and a GPS receiver by which the camera can make geotagged photographs. It runs on Android's 4.1 "Jelly Bean" software and it allows for in-camera organizing, editing and online sharing or storage of images and videos.[4][5] As with other Android devices, other software can be downloaded from Google Play.[6] However, voice calls cannot be made on the Galaxy Camera. This feature would be provided in its successor, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom.[7]

Marketing[edit]

To promote the Galaxy Camera, Samsung released a viral video on their YouTube channel, featuring James Franco demonstrating the camera's features.[8]

On December 11, 2012, Verizon announced that it will also carry the Galaxy Camera. It will be the first 4G LTE camera. The camera was discontinued in 2014.
