The Samsung Galaxy Camera is not your traditional Android device per se, and definitely not the kind of Android device you are likely to handle on a daily basis. But coming from the largest manufacturer of smartphones, Android or otherwise, it was just a matter of time before they started coming out with Android on devices other than smartphones or tablets.

The Galaxy Camera is a 3G/4G enabled device which features a 16.3 Megapixel camera with 21x optical zoom and a pop-up Xenon flash, WiFi & 3G/4G LTE connectivity, a 4.8 inch Super LCD 720p display. 4GB of internal storage along with a microSD card slot, a powerful Exynos 4412 Quad core processor clocked at 1.4GHz along with 1GB of RAM, and runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box.
