Tech Out of IFA: Samsung Debuts the Galaxy Camera with Crazy Specs & Jelly Bean

[dgstorm]

It looks like Samsung didn't stop with just he launch of their new Galaxy Note 2. They also announced a strange and cool new device. It's an Android based camera with some crazy good specs, built on the Galaxy phone design, and running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean! Here's the scoop:

• 23mm f/2.8 lens with 21x optical zoom
• 4.7" HD Super Clear Touch Display at 308ppi
• ISO from 100 up to 3200
• 3G and 4G connectivity
• 1.4GHz Quad-core processor
• Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
• 8GB onboard storage
• microSD
• HDMI
• A-GPS
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity
• 1650mAh battery

It also has a slew of advanced software features. Here's a few:

• Access to Google Play Store and all of its plethora of camera apps
• Features ten different shooting modes - this includes a "Smart Pro Mode" with aperture, shutter speed, and even more adjustments for experienced photographers
• Can use voice control for functions like zooming, group-shots, toggling and more.
• Has a "Best Group Shot" feature which can merge images with different faces for each subject
• Photo Wizard - includes minor editing functionality and a filter application
• Movie Wizard - does the same for videos
• Share Shot, allowing sharing with other Galaxy Cameras or phones

This is a facepalm kind of good idea. It makes you wonder why we haven't seen more of these in the past!

Samsung better get a patent for this before Apple does and sues them. It does have a screen and round edges so Americas can't have it. But I'm buying one.

My thought exactly. Crapple will claim that THEY created digital cameras next.

UK tech team posted pics with hands on test of a red one. Check it out at stuff.tv

Also battery is fine as no phone in it so won't drain as fast. Will last as long as S3 does.
