With smartphones pushing the boundaries of their built-in cameras, the demand for entry level point-and-shoot compact cameras has dropped drastically. On the flip side, there are certain features and functions of a smartphone that can be useful on a conventional camera. The imaging quality of a digital compact combined with the power and flexibility of a smartphone sounds very appealing, especially when you can upload images directly to social networks like Facebook or Instagram via mobile apps - without transferring your files between devices.
Seeing the possibility of a unique device that melds the best functions of a compact camera and a smartphone, Samsung was one of the first to release a camera running the Android OS with the Samsung Galaxy Camera. It made a lot of sense on paper, but the actual execution left more to be desired.
The original Galaxy Camera felt like a work-in-progress with average camera performance and certain handling issues. But in keeping with the short product cycle trend for consumer electronics, the Korean conglomerate is having another go at the Android camera segment with the Galaxy Camera 2. Does the newcomer fix our concerns of the original Galaxy Camera 2? That's what we intend to find out in this review.
