Samsung launches its new Internet-connected camera!
I recommend this wifi and high-tech camera for those people who would love to take pictures and upload it directly to their social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and just everything else!
This app does the trick in almost everything! You can send a message to a friend, find a contact in the phonebook, tweet, edit pictures and upload it to Instagram, last but not least, you can download apps just like what smartphones do! Indeed, it's a camera and a smartphone all in one!
Samsung Electronics on Thursday launched a new Internet-connected camera in South Korea, as the electronics giant intensifies efforts to expand its dominance in the mobile phone market to other sectors.
The “Galaxy” camera, named after the Korean firm’s signature
smartphone and tablet PC series, enables users to upload photos and
videos directly to the Internet without having to hook it up to a
computer.
The camera, launched earlier this year in countries in Europe, North
America and elsewhere in Asia, is not Samsung’s first Internet-connected
camera.
But the latest device—powered by Google’s Android software like many
key Samsung gadgets including Galaxy S smartphones or Galaxy Tab
tablets—operates more like a smartphone, the company said.
It allows users to download apps aimed at polishing photos or videos,
automatically share images stored in the camera with certain mobile
devices located nearby, or to have the images automatically stored in a
cloud-computing server.
Users have to subscribe to wireless plans to use the gadget,
featuring a 4.8-inch LCD touchscreen, a 21x optical lens and priced at
about 750,000 won ($691) on the domestic market.
“The Galaxy Camera will open a new chapter of communications—visual
communications,” JK Shin, chief of Samsung’s mobile unit, said in a
statement.
Samsung—the world’s top maker of smartphones and memory chips—has
recently been trying to strengthen its relatively small presence in the
global digital camera industry dominated by Japanese giants like Nikon
and Canon.
