Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 review | Digital Trends

Samsung goes for a second round with the versatile Android-powered Galaxy Camera 2. App support means you can directly upload to social networks over Wi-Fi without getting out your phone. But image quality is disappointing for the asking price.

Samsung is not one to shy away from trying something new (remember the Dual View cameras?), and more recently they've been blurring the lines between Android smartphones and traditional digital cameras. Only one of the company's four products was actually a phone: the Galaxy S4 Zoom. The Galaxy NX and original Galaxy Camera offered 3G and 4G connectivity, but you couldn't make a call on them (unless Skype counts). Samsung's latest model is the Galaxy Camera 2, which goes Wi-Fi only but is otherwise a nice upgrade to its predecessor.

Despite its core components remaining the same as its predecessor, the power and flexibility of Android keeps the Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 from being an ordinary point-and-shoot.
