FIRST: Polaroid SC-1630 [Smart Camera]

FIRST!
I say this, just in case this fucker catches on & gets played out as fuck...
Is this device a phone? Yes it is [in some circumstances]

As the upgrade is on it's way, I've been looking for a new phone. Unfortunately they "don't do the phones good" any more...so I decided to search up things that were 'Technically' not phones, but you could make calls on & had a superior dominant feature...

I came across this:-

Smooth little bastard isn't he?

So I did some re[Google]search & here are some details/bullet points or whatever;-


- There will be two models, one which is a standalone camera & one which will have phone features. A lot of people were confused about this cause Polaroid did a Nintendo & completely forgot to mention it was also a phone [games console].


- It runs on Android, which version isn't 100% & it was running on 2.0 or something like that at CES [Apparently there's some "ice-cream" version of Android, but I know fuck all about that]

- The fucking lens [3x optical zoom] DOES retract, not sure why people even questioned that but yeah...it does that...

"Actual proof" it does make calls
- I have no fucking idea if this will get a UK release, but I'm still going to wait...[US release is some time this month]



I does other shit, like connect to the Polaroid printer, but that shit as far as I am concerned is for rich people...

This video add's details I've failed to mention/couldn't be arsed with

  1. I own its predecessor, the ALtek Leo A14 for about a year. If the polaroids took care of all the lacks mentioned at XDA developers blog, it will be great. But see yourself...
