Bleeding Edge TV 466: Samsung Galaxy Camera review

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cameras, Features, Google, Handhelds, Podcasts, Product Reviews, Videocasts, Videos

We review the Samsung Galaxy Camera in this episode, the Android-powered point-and-shoot that joins the Galaxy line. Being a full-featured Android device, the Galaxy Camera functions both as a smartphone (without the phone part, so maybe, a really small tablet) and a full-fledged point-and-shoot camera. We like the form factor when taking images, and the display is large, bright, crisp, and clear at 4.77-inches Super Clear Touch. You can pick up the Galaxy Camera on Amazon.
