If you take photos on your smartphone but are not completely satisfied with the quality, Polaroid has an answer for you.
With the C.E.S. in full swing and all the talk surrounding Smart TV's, Polaroid pulled a rabbit out of the hat and introduced their first Smart Camera. Measuring 3.2" with a touch screen display, this device can store up to 32gb (microSD), and is equipped with a 16-megapixel that is capable of 3x optical zoom on a 36-108mm lens. But the meat and potatoes of this camera is the fact it is powered by Android, and has the ability to seamlessly edit, crop, upload, geo-tag, or email any pictures when connected to Wi-Fi.

Enhance Your Moments With Smart Features: The Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera powered by Android takes the work out of being behind the lens with automatic face and smile detection.

The Smart Album feature of the Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera automatically organizes photos by date, location and people. Plus, geo-tagging features can add longitude and latitude coordinates to photos.
Edit, Share and Save: Now there is no reason to leave the party – everything needed to edit, save and upload can be done anywhere right on the Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera. On-board editing features include cropping, red-eye removal, resizing and color correction.
