Polaroid SC1630, an attempt to smartphone and camera that can not end well
Polaroid SC1630 – The Polaroid still much, but these things do not. A Polaroid brand as legendary as today seemed to be relegated to the past and certain death, surprised us at CES 2012 with the launch of the Polaroid SC1630. It is a hybrid smartphone with Android and uan compact camera, which sometimes have said that “as anyone could throw,” and we have seen the answer very soon, because nobody would buy it.
The Polaroid SC1630 is a terminal Android, smartphone fully rule, but what makes him different is that it has a 16 megapixel sensor and a 3 × optical zoom. That is, have created a compact mid-range and low components have smartphone. But you can start with the worst foot. Includes a very old version of Android, Android 2.3 versions, although clear alert that will update to the latest versions of Android.
With a 800 MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, Buetooth to connect to the printer from Polaroid and it is unclear whether it also includes Wi-Fi, the features do not seem very high-end terminal.
Polaroid SC1630 will be available around April for about $ 300, and do not see much interest in a compact camera with a smartphone attached to it. Actually, what people want and not a very great camera quality, you just have to see thousands of prepubertal taking pictures and recording videos with BlackBerry Curve 8520 has a camera that only 2 megapixels.
Polaroid Why waste time and money on products as well? I’m not saying now engaged smartphones, who knows, they may be able to create something interesting. But the union of compact camera and smartphone combo is not stalled yet. More when you have no optical zoom terminals (all) but they do some amazing photos as the Galaxy S II or iPhone 4S.
