For those who prefer slightly more camera than phone, Samsung will be rolling out a new, WiFi-only version of the GC-110 Galaxy Camera. In case you're not in-the-know, the Galaxy Camera is basically a Samsung point-and-shoot with roughly 4/5ths of an Android-Powered smartphone behind it, minus the ability to text and make calls. Previously, the only edition available required a $10-a-month subscription to an AT&T data service to upload your content. Now, however, you can skip that option and go for a WiFi-only model to take around with you. Expect the camera to land later on this month. The official press release is as follows:
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd today launched the Samsung GALAXY Camera (Wi-Fi), the newest addition to the GALAXY Camera lineup. Like the original GALAXY Camera, the GALAXY Camera (Wi-Fi) combines high performance photographic features with Android™ 4.1 (Jelly Bean) OS and dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity, making shooting, enjoying, editing and sharing images from a single device easier than ever before.
• The GALAXY Camera (Wi-Fi) has all of the innovative and practical features that the GALAXY Camera offers but without
a 3G/4G connection. This makes the GALAXY Camera (Wi-Fi) more affordable for a user who does not need the always-
connected benefit of the GALAXY Camera. With the GALAXY Camera (Wi-Fi), users can use the dual-band Wi-Fi
technology embedded in the device to share photos with family and friends through email, social networks or mobile
communication services like Samsung ChatON right from the device, as well as enjoy the luxury of backing-up pictures
instantly to cloud services when connected.
• With a 21x Super Long Zoom lens and a super-bright 16M BSI CMOS, the GALAXY Camera (Wi-Fi) combines superior
compact camera hardware with a simple and comfortable design. Taking professional-looking images is made easy
with 19 different integrated Smart Modes, which allow users to choose from a series of preset scenario options such as
Light trace or Action freeze to ensure the perfect shot is captured every time.
• The GALAXY Camera (Wi-Fi) revolutionizes photography with its Android™ 4.1 (Jelly Bean) OS, providing the familiarity
of the largest Smartphone OS with advanced picture taking ability. Users can customize their camera and choose
which of the 700,000? Android™ apps from Google Play they wish to download.
• For enjoying and editing images, the GALAXY Camera (Wi-Fi) boasts a large and vivid camera display – a 4.8”
(121.2mm) HD Super Clear Touch Display. The GALAXY Camera (Wi-Fi) comes preloaded with powerful photo and
video editing tools, ‘Photo Wizard’ and ‘Video Editor,’ allowing for professional style edits to be made right from the
GALAXY Camera (Wi-Fi).
• Connectivity for the Samsung GALAXY Camera (Wi-Fi) is supported by a quad-core processor that enables fast web-
browsing and multi-tasking, as well as high-speed image processing without a significant impact on battery life. The
stylish curves of the camera’s ergonomic design further aid image capture by placing all of the key controls right at your
fingertips.
