The Samsung Galaxy Camera is an Android 4.1 device with a large touch screen on one side, a 21x zoom lens on the other, and networking abilities in the middle. That last point is key: one of the big advantages of smartphones is that you can do something with the photo immediately after taking it -- sharing with friends on Facebook, for example.
And though camera makers have made phones with Wi-Fi, what sets the Samsung Galaxy Camera apart is the integration of 3G and 4G mobile-phone networking with HSPA+ wireless technology. That means you'll be able to share photos immediately -- but it also means you'll have to pay a carrier for the data you transmit.
Top alternatives to this model are Nikon's new Coolpix S800c, which has Android and Wi-Fi networking, and Nokia's 808 PureView, with a giant 41-megapixel camera but the dying Symbian operating system. Nokia's model relies on digital cropping as a substitute for a zoom lens, a design that makes it somewhat more compact than the Samsung even when the latter device is turned off and collapsed.
The Samsung Galaxy Camera should be thought of more as a camera with wireless networking than as a phone with a really nice camera. That's because, though it uses mobile networks, it won't come with a phone number. That means you'll be able to use VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) for telephony, but not traditional phone and text-messaging features.
So at least for now, it suffers to some degree the plight of ordinary point-and-shoot cameras: most people will probably have their smartphones with them, so the Galaxy Camera will be a second device people must remember to bring along.
Samsung's research shows increasing spending on high-end cameras, though, and that's where it hopes this model will fit in. It'll be priced the same as high-end compact cameras -- though not as high as the mirrorless models with interchangeable lenses such as Samsung's NX line.
The camera's 16-megapixel sensor uses backside-illuminated (BSI) technology for better low-light performance. The lens starts at a wide-angle equivalent of 23mm; it zooms smoothly but not rapidly through its 21x range to 483mm on the telephoto end.
With the full Android operating system, photographers can use the usual range of apps -- Facebook, Flickr, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+, and the like.
In addition, Samsung supplies its own Photo Wizard and Video Wizard software and another tool designed to get good group shots. The camera also has some cloud-based backup services.

Samsung Galaxy Camera, Full Color..!!
According to engadget, Another Photokina star is Samsung's Galaxy Camera, which launched to much fanfare several weeks ago at IFA, but dominates the company's photo-themed booth at the biennial photography show in Cologne, Germany. There's not much more to report on the hardware side, apart from confirmation that certain versions of the Android snapper will pack LTE, but there are indeed some very shiny new finishes to gawk at.
First up is a bright orange flavor -- if you feared that the Galaxy point-and-shoot's rather large footprint wouldn't attract enough attention on its own in the field, you shouldn't have any such concerns with an orange model. Also of the neon persuasion is a flashy pink version, which like the aforementioned color, should draw many an eye.
We were quite pleased with the black and white models we saw at IFA, and while Samsung clearly has a few colorful prototypes in circulation, the company says they're only being considered at this point, with your feedback determining the final options. So, what do you think? Would you buy an orange or pink Galaxy Camera? Let us know in the comments after the break.
