  • why is my galaxy camera wifi don't function in philippines? i bought my unit in abu dhabi uae and i used this for 2 months before i sent home.

  • No, it does not support voice calls since it doesn't have the voice module only 3G module. You can make calls through Viber, Skype or whassapp, but preferably you should use some headphones for that. =========== Hands on experience. Used it daily on a trip around the world in every kind of weather and conditions. Only some minnor problems after I was caught in a sandstorm. Very useful with the 3G module. Now I use it at home as a Wi-fi Hotspot. IMHO Better by GC100 than GC200 since there are no big differences

  • does it supports calling feature?

  • Why can I not load 'WhatsApp' messenger even with a SIM card in the Camera? This is very necessary when there is no WiFi and I have to send photos to my friends. Anyone who has succesfully done this (loading WhatsApp) please let me know how to do it. My email is [email protected]

  • my mistake I pressed a keyword on the setting options, and now everytime I touch the screen theres a voice saying what it was. I cannot even view my facebook, pictures, and youtubes videos was nowhere to be found. i feel sad. I need help.

  • The mobile is not facilitated with GPRS system. So , that is axiomatic that the mobile will not support mobile data by any means. But , it have Wi-Fi option that serves as the only way to connect to internet.

  • I had same problem. but the network range is different from area to area. our mobiles are capable to sent more no.of pockets to receiver end but receiver couldn't send the same thing to us. so be ensure your all mobile apps in off condition. then you can able to use your favorite apps with more speed.

  • anyone tried using samsung micro sd pro 32gb class 10 pn galaxy camera? any updates or news if this really is a good buy? there is also an sdxc 64gb.. i dont know if it would be compatible though.

  • the official website meantioned 8gb internal storage, but here stated 4gb only. the camera also shown 4gb. what does it means "8GB (including read-only sections such as AndroidTM operating system)"? does it means the another 4 GB used for read-only sections such as OS and will not be shown in the storage space?

  • Hi, unfortunately you cannot take or receive any mobile calls...

  • My experience also.

  • Can we make phone calls?

  • i took great photos with this.. its all on tweaking settings..

  • Very bad camera.

  • super love this camera.. expert mode produces good colors.. impressed with the pro mode..

  • Should we expect firmware upgrades or will 4.1.2 be our last firmware?

  • _good observation dude.....nd great description__ hats off you__.....

  • Nice opinion bro !!

  • pls how do i deactivate TALKBACK on my Samsung galaxy camera GC 100.

  • pls how do i deactivate talkback on my galaxz camera gc 100.can't do anything with it.

  • samsung galaxy camera can not be used as a camera

  • can we use samsung galaxy camera gc100 as a phone? & make phone calls as well?????

  • you can take 290 photos if charge 100%

  • i want to buy used gc100 galaxy camara

  • Lumia 1020 price very high sumsng galaxy camera is better its price low than lumia 1020

  • How many pictures can we capture, onces baterry is 100% charged ?

  • why u want to sell?

  • Having that big and bulky size if phone that has only 16.3 MP camera puts in shame compared to the latest Nokia Lumia 1020. See specs it does have 41 MP camera that still stay slim and sexy.

  • i was thinking to buy this but bcoz of their is no phone calling thats why i dont want to spend my money in this

  • Yes, you can use Whatsapp and any other Android apps with this camera. I have a Galaxy Note 2, and I run all my note 2 apps on this camera. It will also run the Newcameraapp.apk which is the Panorama app taken from the S4 which will let you take some real stunning HD Panorama (360 degree) shots

  • i need sell my camera gc 100 just used 1 day.

  • Yes

  • this camera is awesome i didnt regret buying it at all

  • Does whatsapp or wechat work on this?

  • I have owned this camera since its release date last year and I am extremely happy with it. Sure it's a little expensive but it does take fantastic pictures, especially if you take time to compose your shots properly and in the right environment. I have really impressed people with many shots from the camera and I am no Pro. I love the fact you get the full Android experience too, all my apps work flawlessly including camera apps from the Play Store, Sat Nav, Games etc. People moan that it does not make calls, it is not a phone! If it did there would be an equal camp of moaners saying how stupid that you hold this to your ear to make calls! At the end of the day if you like gadgets, you have some spare cash and want a camera with FULL Android loveliness then this will tick all those boxes.

  • The 3G SIM is to allow you to use communication functions (such as picture uploading, web browsing etc) where you do not have a WiFi signal. It's not meant for voice use, though you CAN send text messages and you can use VOIP. But at the end of the day it is a camera not a phone. Look at the Galaxy S4 Zoom if you want that function.

  • Is this usable as phone? it must be uncomfortable but answering with bluetooth will be ok? and is it possible to change battery wiht stronger another one(if it is)?

  • This is a boring camera dnt buy this.

  • i have alredy this cell+camera i was happy but now i m not satisfide this cell+camera bcoz this gazeds so hang so thast y i m not satisfied.

  • I love this camera .i buy this camera tomarow

  • because its a camera..not a phone

  • Guys can this camera camcorder do more than 25 minutes not finding setting 2 change that

  • Finally a positive comment.. *0*

  • I love the HD camera but still moderately futile... Why is the call function deprived? It should be added to impartially satiate the users..I'm partially dismayed..(:

  • Device with no support for GSM voice communication. Available as Galaxy Camera Wi-Fi GC110 without 3G/4G band support. General 2G Network N/A 3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 4G Network LTE (market dependent) SIM Micro-SIM If we cannot access this all, Then Why This all things mentioned in its Specification ?

  • If we can use this also as a mobile phone , it will bring Samsung on the topper

  • i fully agree, i don't understand why they didn't include the phone option.Now they made something with the phone but the camera's specs are not the same ,shorter zoom, smaller screen ,uglier design :(

  • I wish this camera had a call function. We are used to Samsung and phones so dont expect us to adjust to that please. Camera is fantastic

  • it is the future. like it or not. people communicate and catalogue their life in images, so why not give the highest rated camera to boot?

  • Same thing happened to me, on the same day (odd). I won mine in a photo contest. Problem is, I'm in the US and Samsung USA tells me the serial number is from Korea. I have been trying to get help for 2 weeks- numerous calls to people who cannot help me at Samsung. I'm at my wits end and now consider myself pre contest.. No one will help me.

  • Why do people constantly believe that this is a phone? It is a CAMERA people. Why try to make calls, because it has Android? I don't even look at an email on my camera! I take pics and video, use wifi to post pics.

  • bad design

  • Try To Make a Formate

  • switch on its Sync

  • hi guys i have a problem with my gc,it dont open pictures and when i touch one photo it writes delete some dawnloaded files.please help me

  • been using this device for 3 months, yet it did great,but you must always be ready to spare a battery,coz a lot of usage, features and functions, gives you a lot of battery usage,and also u still can not compare it on a DSLR cameras,it's bothering me with the flash lighting capability,it has no control on flash settings , when you want more or less of light on a subject.it is just an automatic flash,and it has a slow capturing capability,i can't shoot a subject when it goes to a stolen shots.or a moving objects,a one at a time opportunity shots,anyway still thumbs up with my samsung galaxy camera,i know that samsung will resolve those features ,on the next model of this camera. goodluck!more power.

  • Yes, it's with extra battery. But, no pouch given. Still exploring it. Easy to hold and not that heavy.

  • Hi guys , any idea if this device comes with a spare battery and pouch

  • I can text message to all phones, but no phone call. Phone app has been hidden. I only can make a voice call on LINE, without headphone so it's automatically sound from speaker, then i can talk to this camera. also you can use the headphone for LINE.

  • Why not package this camera with a phone so that it will be more versatile and compact with all the necessary gadget in one. Maybe in the new model perhaps?

  • Reading all the comments very interesting ...... I brought this camera for A$400 what a bargain . It is soooo cheap .

  • i like it, i need it

  • WOW! People this days are trolls now or are they not educated enough? "It's connected to a network but doesn't call" -Say what?! Hey what do you expect to a digital camera huh? If I have a $400 budget to get a camera let say I can choose from Canon SX260 HS to GalaxyCamera I would definitely go for the GCamera for it has so much specification at a same price tag. Can't call? lucky for you people our there who trolls a lot, Samsung made this connected camera. Lucky for you it was enable with wifi, so you can make skype calls but still If you want a calling device, BUY A SMARTPHONE! "Lame design for a phone, too bulky and heavy" -WOW! as what I've said, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FOR A CAMERA? "Too low internal memory" -Are you out of your mind? an 8GB storage is not enough for you? So what are you making this camera with a gaming device? you must have installed so many gaming apps thats why? huh! buy a smartphone next time!

  • Add a calling option in this phone

  • No you cannot call using the sim, but you can send and receive text messages and browse the net as well wit the sim.

  • You cannot call, but you can send and receive text messages as well as browse the Internet using a Sim

  • Just got my new Samsung Galaxy Camera GC100 from Samsung Concept yesterday. Its a very nice phone camera. The 16.1 MP + 21x zoom looks like a perfect combination. Has the power of 1.4Ghz quadcore processor + 8gb Internal storage + its Android Jelly bean OS is Plus A factor of this device. The pre installed applications in this device may add up to your addictions. The only problem with this device is that whenever you are reviewing the pictures or using the apps its getting hotter. Anyway, since this a Phone camera, the heating issue is normal. I still recommend this device, thanks Samsung, wish you more innovations to come!

  • does it have the option of making calls and accessing the internet through the sim card ?

  • its amazing combitation off dual effect

  • Camera? Phone? NO! Its Galaxy Phamera. Half phone half camera!

  • What should we call this one then? Phamera I suppose! :)

  • HI,i salute you for this amazing camera ever,i know samsung of its quality work because i am using samsung v800.Where do we get this new product in kenya and is its price@

  • For those of you who think this camera phone is a so called innovation, please look at this and see where Samsung gets its inspiration for all its phones:

  • It has no GSM /2G. Why is written battery stanby in this mode?

  • can I buy this in installment?

  • It's only better than S3, don't exagerate.

  • Had mine for about 6 months now ,best thing since sliced bread,but it eats batteries.

  • I bought this camera, two months ago anda its amazing. Not only as phone is a great camera with very useful apps. Its cheap for the spec that it have.

  • gorilla glass 2? ... what can i say ... the camera is great ... but ... f@@k that gorilla glass 2!!! ... it costs 200 euros ... so, don;t buy it!!!

  • OMG this phone is so under_rated! this phone does seriously not get the credit it desreves. flyest phone on the market even better than samsung galaxy s4.

  • yes you can fly with this phone!!!!!! :)

  • Most things we do today were seen as ridiculous several years ago. That aeroplane could defy law of gravity was ridiculous then, that you could communicate or talk to someone in 1000s of miles was once considered ridiculous. So many future advancements will be ridiculous to those who cannot comprehend.

  • It's a must have tool.....

  • Yes. Although not through "normal" GSM voice calls, you can still use a huge variety of 3G/wifi (internet) calling apps, skype and gtalk being the most common but you can use any other (even simple VoIP via nimbuzz, for example). Even if it doesn't have a mic it has BT so you can use any BT earpiece. Android phones - even those with front-facing secondary cameras - are not factory-enabled to do videocalls and yet most people do this through apps specifically developed for that. So yes, you can.

  • Wouldn't be ridiculous to talk with a camera?

  • You can't make call

  • brilliant gadget but only the battery power is a problem for such a big device.

  • no u cannot make a call with this camera

  • can I make calls with samsung galaxy camera ??

  • to all haters of galaxy cam.. its not nice to post with hate in this thread.. its obvious ur envious bcoz you compare it to other products.. you cant even find perfection in man made products.. you just need to shut your mouth and be contented with what you have..

  • i have tried this camera so many problem that you can only understand when you use it here is the list of practical problems youtu.be/gFzkPV1pFP4 you can check on the link above because every review is telling the positive points on there reviews

  • How do I get my refund of Euros.100.00?? This was a special offer for buying a Galaxy GC100, that we bought today!!

  • root your galaxy camara and make external sd card memory as camera memory

  • is sar is 3.3 this is disaster please confirm true number and thanx in advance

  • i wish someone would make a camera with a real phone you can use to sms and make calls

  • I am not impressed with this device. some of us waited for it but when it was released most of us were scared to buy. For now i will stick to my Note II

  • new experience with camera samsung galaxy, all the application make the camera looks amazing. event though the price is not cheap. check the price here

  • i bought galaxy camera just yesterday and im amazed bcoz its not ur regular type of camera with phone its just amazing camera with android. ill answer ur question: send sms: YES install an apps like wattapps: yes calls: no T_T other than that,... its a great gadget for me. im a frustrated photographer and i feel like a pro while having this ^^

  • gallery says not enough space how to solve the problem

  • in my galaxy camera, gallery seems to be full, it says "not enough space delete unnecessary items, such as downloaded software pictures, and documents" and i don't have much software download even and i don't know how to solve this problem please reply asap tks

  • how can i find my 4g network ??

  • If this does not support gsm calling then it's merely a smart camera nothing else. People don't be optimistic it can't be used as phone/camera hybrid. The 3g facility/sim card feature is for photo/video sharing only.

  • can we make calls from galaxy camera?

  • NO

  • this is not nearly innovative. it's a step back. I recently purchased a Samsung camera only and it's very disappointing. This phone seems to be built on the same technology.

  • This is the greatest innovative machine,its a must have kind of a device i give it attention and i salute it

  • Hey wat U know about NIKON.Dont B impress 2 much.Samsung Galaxy Camera GC100 na worth comparing 2 NIKON Engines.Nikon is Founded 1917.its an old company in Camera world He know wat is the Reallty in Camera.No one can Beat it.one more thing Samsung nw days perfectly cheating the Customer keep UR Mind & Opend UR Eye's ...

  • i install whatsapp on it n works well;)

  • Can I make n phone call with out loudspeaker???

  • Can I make n phone call with out loudspeaker???

  • buy a s3

  • is this thing can send a text message?

  • i know this is have having very good features but wt abt its price??????????????????

  • I like this master peace because we no need to carry phone and camera its easy to carry galaxy cemera two in one.................... good

  • i really loved this gadget so badly... its features kills me, coz I don't know how to use it. but this is so amazing!

  • yeah, i suggest you to buy it soon..it has too many features so I think this one is better

  • umm.. the only good thing about this is that it is a phone/camera with android! goddamit people

  • its very good camera... but it does no support calling

  • I so love this Smart Camera! I'm glad i bought this Samsung Galaxy Camera!!! My sisters envy me for having a camera like this!

  • you cant call you put sim card for internet only,otherwise install skype and buy units from the net and call

  • i wonderwhy this device does not support whatsapp.. hmmmm...

  • Hey!!! 2G dont work with this phone or what?...Will i be able make calls on this phone OR no? I wanna buy this next month but want to clear my doubts,whether we can make calls.

  • You dont know..

  • hd video calling its very nice but there no have front camara use only main camara

  • not camera for phone , this smart digital camera

  • what is this actuly is a camera for a cell phono???

  • good

  • nice cam

  • Yes,U can

  • can we use Skype on this camera?

  • No, you have internet connection via 3G but no voice communication or regular SMS

  • With all respect, Galaxy S3 does that too, Nokia 808 as well. They both lack the zoom level in the galaxy camera but from what I tried and read in gsmarena and other locations, it is hard to make a good image because it does not have a good image stabilization. So the bottom line is that it is an average quality picture with some not bad applications at the price of an SLR camera, the choice is yours

  • This is because the operating system is android which can be installed in GSM devices as well as wifi only devices. Think of it as some tablets from Samsung, Motorola, Acer...etc has sometimes 2 versions of tablets (one with GSM functionality and another one without) both versions would look the same until you actually try to access network services.

  • No my friend you can not. Please don't mix SMS with application short messages. VRingo, whatsapp, nimbuzz messages are not SMS. An SMS is carrier dependant (not software) so it is linked to a GSM / SIM number. To make it more clear, you can not go to contacts in the galaxy camera and select a name then choose send SMS, it wont work.

  • If it is not a phone., why is there a Message Icon on screen of the Camera?., :3

  • can this device carry out basic functions of a cell phone such as voice call and sms?

  • we Can send or receive messages Using this

  • You may downoad Android apps to do things that ordinary cameras are unable to do, e.g. time-lapse photography will be easiy possible by using an app. You may also use various software to do in-camera picture editing...

  • Even if it is true that installing viber would let you make phone calls over 3G, why not get a better solution at the same price (or it could be even cheaper in some places), the mighty Galaxy S3, excellent phone excellent battery, light weight, always with you in your pocket to get that moment in impressive still photo or video and you can make phone calls as you want :-) The thing I forgot to mention about the Galaxy Camera, no one will be walking around carrying that huge thing all day long, but your mobile phone is always there with you at your service.

  • well u can install viber i guess and can use as phone with 3g

  • The purpose of the micro SIM is for data only. The specs (which you are recommending to read) clearly says (Device with no support for GSM voice communication), that means you can not make/receive phone calls or SMS messages using the Galaxy Camera. I'm not sure why GSMArena is putting a value in the "Battery" section under the "Talk Time" but it is for sure not a mobile phone so there is no talk time available here.

  • I'm a big fan of Samsung solutions all over, they have been producing some really impressive devices in many aspects. This one is sure not among their good products. I have tried to figure out what is the main attraction in it but failed (I'd love if someone would shed a light on this part). Picture quality "might" be better than cheap/low end point and shoot(s), but this is one not priced as a cheap, in fact it is more expensive than the likes of Canon 1100/Nikon 3100 (and needless to say they are light years ahead in terms of picture quality compared to Galaxy Camera). Someone here mentioned that his/her brother got a Nikon Coolpix and it produced lower quality images, with all respect, I'm 100% sure that the Coolpix model you are talking about is much cheaper than the Galaxy Camera. I have Coolpix 9300 (and its NOT a great camera) yet it outperformed the Galaxy Camera by miles and its just a $300 device. The other let down was the battery. with a huge screen and data connectivity on, it didn't last the whole school open day (where my brother brought it and I got to actually compare it for myself) while the Coolpix 9300 was on till I got back home, plugged the camera to the computer, uploaded the photos and videos and shared them with my other family members. Also, the large zoom the Galaxy Camera has is almost useless as the image stabilization is very poor and you should have some REALLY steady hands to get a sharp clear photo (while using the zoom). All in all, it could be good as a $200 device, but currently the way it is priced it is a sure not worth to buy (that's my own opinion), as I noted, I failed to justify what is special about it.. Uploading to youtube on the spot? that's not a reason to spend that much money on such picture quality, at the end of the day, it is supposed to be a camera and the main function is quality photos/videos.

  • I live in UAE, over here, the Nokia 808 is actually about $70 less than the Galaxy Camera.

  • specs are fine but no voice communication!!!!!!!

  • stupid phone, i can't call using it. Frust forever.

  • wowwwwwww

  • bro did you read the specs of the gc100?what is the purpose of the micro sim? read first b4 you comment!HAHAHA!ulol

  • its almost a phone coz you can send text using using galaxy cam.

  • But u can buy 5 of Nixon camera instead of 1 of this camera ...

  • this not a phone bro...hahahaha

  • music player having or not

  • No Phone!!!!!!

  • dont be stupid..this is digital camera ,NOT phone

  • come on man this is not a phone it's a smart cam!!!

  • No Secondary Camera, which may result as the biggest drawback of this phone.

  • awsm hai i love it

  • And for a reason.This thing is huge and yet the photo quality is nothing close to 808.

  • hey way more chipper than Nokia 808 pureview(41 MP)

  • If anyone have the galaxy camera system file for xperia rom please inform me , i need this app! from bangladesh

  • bd price 47,000 tk!!

  • At lease in PR, $499.99

  • no

  • Can anyone know the price ( BDT ) of it ?

  • ,.,can ds device call or text???answer it pls,.,

  • Did u ever try to talk with Teletalk 3G,Mr EMON...!!

  • I am bangladesi.I brought this also.I brought 4 cameras for my 4 sons & they liked it very much.i am happy also.

  • Device with no support for GSM voice communication. Maybe you miss reading this. this is at the top of specs sheet. :)

  • this not a phone!

  • sim card for supporting internet conncetion ,if u do not using wifi :)

  • can this phone make phone calls?

  • does it make calls seeing as how it has a sim???

  • My son like it and nice to take pictures

  • I bought this camera and my son kelvin love it nice to take pictures and and having fun fun for some tricks

  • pls how can i turn on the flash on the device

  • lol i have 808 and uploading pictures is pretty fast and smooth.. Try putting this camera inside your pocket and you will look like a fool! Hahahahah

  • I just got mine yesterday and I'm loving it. :)

  • not really, 2G and 3G running on different frequency.. unless your location have 3G/LTE coverage you can use this phone but when both not available while on 2G available you not able to use the phone

  • agree with u .. but i already bought it.. hurmm.. but the good things is ,can straight away upload pic to social networking..thats all.. huhu

  • if can support 3g or hspa,of course la can support 2g..lol

  • digital camera

  • very bulky and battery life is just average..The optical zoom is fantastic ,Galaxy badge and Android is a plus but very bulky to carry around..

  • anyone has tried lte sim with gc 100?

  • Quad core and phone capabilities on something that's too expensive to be a point and shoot camera and too ridiculous and bulky to be a phone. While it's really powerful and capable I'd rather buy a dedicated camera if i need a 12MP shooter.

  • no 2g? c'mon samsung..

  • hye is it phone or jst camera

  • smartcameraphone, this is a joke..

  • i wana try this pls sugest me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • GSMarena is not only talking about phone enabled gadgets!

  • how about ipad? it's relevan to put inside gsmarena also? LOL..think before u talk . :)

  • Samsung should have finished their job by making it a camera phone since it uses sim card. This is gsmarena not cameraarena

  • ya dude besides ua home der is a tapri over der u can get this camera over der ...

  • this Samsung Galaxy Camera GC100 can make a call since it will use simcard?

  • super .................i will buy quickly

  • gret.........

  • if nikon have phone model,i think they will put details in here as well :) thanks for the information .

  • smart camera :)

  • Indonesia?? same as me.. jakarta ready to serve after flood :P 1 & 2: many expert here, they easily offended by gadget that can't even make a call. They can answer that 3: in Indonesia, i believe u (and u'r wife), use more than 1 phone. Very huge price and quality difference in operator. I use indosat for call/text, tri for data. What is u'r wife purpose in buy the phone, is it because of camera purpose only, or for social networking/browser/games/apps? If for camera, sure it's pureview. but for social networking/browser/games/apps, u can't expect much. nokia symbian is outdated. Samsung win in social networking/browser/games/apss. If u'r wife is journalist/personal business/whatsoever, samsung is great. snap photo then share instantly. With nokia u can't get much.. just photo

  • can it make call like normal phone?

  • Is it a camera and a phone or just a smart camera

  • in malaysia RM1899 RM100 = 100 000 rupiah your wife prefer phone or just camera ? another thing,picture for social netwoking or for print it ? if for social netwoking ,i suggest u galaxy, for picture quality of kos pure can win due to his big megapixel,but for social networking only need 8 megapixel for nice picture quality. if you want to be pro photographer for wedding or sumthing else,for that issue,u can purchase big megapixel camera.haha just kidding. :) i choose galaxy,because can straigt away download to social networking,and can be edit with cool app on the spot before uploading..

  • Yes..it is the Nikon Coolpix S800c and it's use android system

  • Dear all expert here ^_^, need to ask your opinion, because my wife plans to buy it. 1. how much is nowadays price of these product ? it's fine wherever you are, just want to raw measure it in indonesia 2. i know this is a special camera, but regardless of its main function as camera, which one is better compare to nokia pureview on aspect below : - quality of the picture (in enough brightness and lack brightness), not the size (i believe nokia pureview is much bigger) - worthed on price comparison between those two gadgets ? all i know pureview is more expensive :p 3. if you are given choices to choose this Galaxy Camera and Nokia Pureview, which one will you choose and why ? what is the main reason for you to choose ? thank you

  • 'but they tell the opposite to us: this is smartphone with great camera' maybe that person have same mind like you.. :P so sad

  • sim card for support internet connection :)

  • 'If a device can't call directly, don't put them in smartphone categories, put them in gadget categories' LOL, so ipad from apple also cannot put details in here ? of course them put in here for this camera,because it use android system!. can you tell me,is there any camera use android ? This is first digital camera use android . dont speak to much, go find yourself at samsung dealer to check this device before you give opinion. look like a pro,but nothing! lalala

  • funny la you. this not a phone,i repeat this is not a phone, if you have emegency,use your phone lah! samsung galaxy camera is DIGITAL CAMERA!!!!!

  • Pardon me about everything in one. are u sure? this phone can't make/receive call

  • What head? this phone can't make a call, so it is okay with SAR 3. I think they cheat on bypass the 1.6 max point. by state this is not phone, this is camera with operating system. but they tell the opposite to us: this is smartphone with great camera.

  • This is silly, someone try to challenge the camera phone king.. but forget the basic function of what phone supposed to be: calling. almost same price range, and please tell me how the shoot from 16.3 mp cam can beat 41 mp cam (effective 38 mp). if u want photo, u must go with nokia pureview. What for handphone if u can't even make a call? failed.. imagine u'r in critical condition, or u'r family in critical condition, u wanna contact them, but u only bring galaxy camera.. how do u respond that instantly? by tweet them? or by chat them? old people don't always use smartphone, mostly use basic phone, they don't check internet very often. Don't joking around.. phone nowadays is so vital. If a device can't call directly, don't put them in smartphone categories, put them in gadget categories.

  • Can some company make such a camera with phone features? It will then be the best selling gadget.

  • you can get it for P19,700.00, it's worth owning... this galaxy cam is great compared to others. you can own at lease two gadgets in one item... (thumbs up!!!)

  • This product is rediculous. For starters it is 'not' even a phone for the stupid and rich. It is simply a bad camera with cheap hardware running a free operating system. You 'cannot' make regular phone calls or send SMS/Text Messages. Last but not least for connectivity where there are no WiFi HotSpots are available you need Mobile Data connectivity which in no country of the great god's world is free and it is very very expensive in most countries. So if you buy this gastly of a product you 'still' need to carry another 'normal' mobile/cell phone in your 'other' pocket, just in case. Samsung/Google = 0 and Nokia/Symbian = 1 = touche.

  • $600 in Canada

  • whats the price range ?is it so much high or not ?

  • Hello, I buy this camera from Shenzhen china before 4 days with package (extra battery,charger,pouch,Bluetooth big headphone)I really like this camera specially it's zoom is unbelievable and on 16mp it's picture is very fine also it's full he'd video is also very nice and also I am satisfied from its battery performance. We can use this for wifi and 3G networks same like iPad we not able make voice calls as simple mobile but can use viber and such applications but in this low price really Samsung give too much things I not feel for a minute I waste my money suggest to buy this cam for business home use and also for fun best regards Khurram shahzad

  • DUDE its almost like a pro slr what more do you want

  • well its very odd I don't have a clue who would want to play games on it .. but I think its a good I dear if u want to do quick photo shop .. but I don't under stand y it takes a sim card if u can't use it to phone and it could have had a 2mp camera frunt camera good 1st try Samsung could have had the best camera+phone lol next we will c the gc200 note with pen 5.0inch full HD display

  • Anand, Can you pls let me know whether the camera can be use in 16:9 resolution. And also can this be used as normal phone call. Thanks, SK007

  • If there's no secondary camera it means u can't use skype or other means of video calling that both parties can see each other?

  • i think its for the use of applications like games and social media

  • The Sim card is used for the data connection to the network when you are not on Wi-Fi.

  • The easy way to explain it, its a smart phone with a point and shoot camera combined.

  • I like it..

  • How to use the sim with this camera?how does it function? if it cannot be used for calling.

  • The Best thing I got to use... Its great to use.

  • I am thinking of buying this camera. Is it possible to use internet on the device?

  • Unlike most other samsung products, it is pretty Goodlooking. Definitely looks better than most other cameras.

  • samsung galxy super

  • if you use Wifi then yes

  • Can we do voice calls using Viber????

  • What is this shit,SAR is 3.13w/kgm really?! I guess that FCC not allow more than 1.6W/kgm

  • the sim slot is for data call only...same as my 8.9 tablet...but u still can make a internet call such as skype..viber..tango...etc...

  • The Purpose of Wifi is to decrease the cost of using data network and most of country is not affordable so wifi connection is portable and this device has FB so easy uploading to picture and other software to share pictures... n sending a big mega pixel pic surely take time

  • Here you are everyone short version how you can make calls with samsung galaxy camera ;) PS: Sorry that in latvian language ;)

  • sar is 3 on head.head? Or 0.2?

  • what is the use of using Wi-Fi in a camera.

  • Its GMATE+ YOU CAN buy it in ebay for 40 Pounds

  • what a device.i want to buy it

  • Can support voice call in this Galaxy Camera???

  • hello everyone... Here you are!!!! Special For all Samsung Galaxy Camera FUNS i make special video for you.... in this video i show you how you can make calls with samsung galaxy camera :) PLZ Subscribe :)

  • because it support internet connection, this also new tecnology for digital camera, when u take a picture,and then u can straight away download it to social media . easy rite? not like other digital camera,we have to plug in usb cabel to pc,save inside pc,then download it to internet . :)

  • It's for media purpose like you are working in a media company you click latest photos and you can send them to your company this is just a one purpose though :D

  • I was surprised that samsung opted this to not be able to make phone calls. It's awkward but it would have been unique. I know it may seem funny but before who thought tablets can make calls? It's awkward but it does the job. Anyway, an update could put that function and just use the loud speaker/headset.

  • if the camera can do everything..then who wants to buy the other things like samsung handphone?..haha!..its all business strategy..we as consumer must know how to fit in..not just buy anything 'latest'..but don't know nuts about applications..

  • if its not a phone whtas the purpose of the sim card slot & the networks it support?

  • in malaysia Price is RM1800

  • nokia 808 is a phone!! Samsung Galaxy Camera GC100 is not a phone,this digital camera brother. hahaha

  • becauce this is camera , not phone..thats why,it cannot make call or receive call ..LOL

  • Cool! Everything in one device. The design is also awesome. Looking forward to buying it as soon as ill get the salary.

  • 29000/- only

  • where is avail in this price?

  • Guys! I guess this phone ( or a camera as well ) comes with an extra battery bundled with the handset itself. Check in your local stores or Samsung dealer... Cargo

  • Guys! I guess this phone ( or a camera as well ) comes with an extra battery bundled with the handset itself. Check in your local stores or Samsung dealer... Cargo

  • I got a chance to experience for 10 minutes.. excellent stability unlike other mobile cameras.. I was able to make a steady video at 21x zoom.

  • veri nice camera...? but....?

  • An excellent camera by Samsung. The Android OS is really useful. Samsung GC100 Galaxy Camera supports 20.9 xs Optical Zoom, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS with SIM Support, 16.3 megapixel Camera etc at Rs. 28,890/- I found this price with manufacturer warranty, Bill and free Shipping at:-

  • Hi, I guess 1650 mA batary wil not be enough to travel with this android cam. This is b'cos you have a large screen besides zoom lens. You will be using 3G most of the time with this devise. So I think the batary capasity should be more then 2000 mA.

  • everything is ok with device but come with competitive price

  • i prefer better to buy nokia pure view 808.

  • i prefer the old model of samsung which is the samsung w880 ! the concept of samsung w880 is simlar to this of galaxy camera. in front you have a wide screen and at the back a huge camera lens but w880 only got 12 megapixel cam unlike the galaxy camera but what's good about samsung w880 is that, it 's almost perfect you can experience good quality of shots and it can offer phone features and most important is that it can make phone calls unlikr galaxy camera it's so bulky and it can't make and receive phone calls

  • either you have no clue on what you are talking about, or you are a nokia blind fan. Since when the galaxy camera is a mobile for you to consider it as an option next to nokia 808?? now about being bulky, maybe you didnt see the 21x zoom on it? your comment is so stupid my friend

  • I did not much like already the bulky style of the Nokia 808 and this is worse its very very bulky and does not look like a mobile anymore I would prefer Nokia's 808. So I bought nokia 808 and it did not disappoint me so far... it is well build very solid

  • Samsung Galaxy Camera GC100

  • i think 1650 mAh it's too low. up to 2500 mAh battery is good for this camera.

  • show its prises

  • no

  • i ve had this beast for a week so far, and its brilliant. Since its a camera, i'll start with picture quality, i had my first baby 2 months ago and i needed something like this, details are superb with the lens this cam holds, zoom levels are amazing, and the many effects you can apply are also helpful. Jelly bean is as smooth as its on a nexus phone, i love how apps from the market works with this camera, i installed Camera MX and the Pudding cam(highly recommended) for extra awesome features. For whatsapp, i download it from blackmart, inserted my wife's phone number, they sent me the code to her phone, punched it on the camera, and now i have whatsapp on it. The cam+camera apps from the market+wifi+android= a BEASTTTT. and for those still living in the past and comparing it to nokia pureview, just check how galaxy camera went out of stock on most major markets.

  • For internet access use a computer not a phone

  • you can use through wifi or 3G

  • no whatsapp?? why it can't be downloaded??help please

  • can we make a call with this or not.....

  • Guys... need to know about the picture quality of the same... Evebryone is talking about internet .. video calls ... phone calls... etc.. This is for PICTURES.. not to use as phone.. for that Samsung has enough and brilliant devices...

  • Why would you need Nokia?? I prefer this baby then Nokia because Nokia used it's own OS while i prefer Phone that based on Android. If you don't like Android, Get one of those Nokia 3310

  • lots of features but still not good at all. Have all features but still master of non of them

  • no internat facility...????????

  • you clearly haven't tried the 808 PureView or the Nokia Belle FP1 OS :p

  • make a call or not?

  • why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why u dnt give with it 2G... Itz make to much hurt...

  • You can not make call with this galaxy cam.3g is given only for photo sharing and to store in drop box. You can do internet surfing and voip calling is possible.

  • no

  • I Prefer to this, its smooth, has 4core cpu. instead of laggy and buggy nokia os.

  • Would like to have Nokia 808 PureView RM-807 instead of this

  • very nice and very useful..

  • Probably because there is no GSM module inside. And is more a camera than a smartone or tab. A trusted review from GsmArena might be welcomed though.

  • well gr8 phoneCam

  • Galaxy camera is the one of superb device that samsung lunched... no matter if it havnt front camera.. bcoz market cant compare this cam.. i can use this cam as a phon, as a camera, and as a co9nnecting device.. gud deed..

  • They say you can't make calls with it. is it true?

  • i wonder if gsm arena would do up a challenge review between this sgh galaxy cam gc100 and nk pureview 808...?? wouldn't be wonderful??? 21x zoom.. vs 38mp with 8mp lossless zoom...??

  • the screen is the back of camera.. why u guys always said dont have front camera , haha funny.

  • the camera and phone it self is fantastic, but there is one thing that make me sad... there is no front camera... front camera is very important specially for video chat... well i guess they will launch another series of this camera phone with front camera but much higher price than this stuff very smart strategy :D...

  • agree..hehe

  • because it using android. can u tell my why tablet is not a phone,but still have review in gsmarena? LOL

  • coz it's android type. support sim card for data

  • we make call from galaxy cam??

  • I don't know anywhere but if you buy one now till the end of this month, only in luxembourg or belgieum, then you will get a 100 � back from 446 � . I can tell you this is great stuff!! I just bought one and I love it!!!! Fantastic!!!

  • rs.29900

  • this is a A+++ tachnology in future

  • can we make a call through this device????

  • Can we make a call from it?

  • omg i like that one

  • Device with no support for GSM voice communication.

  • ************************************************­*************************** Is it true that "XDA Developers" will be release a ROM for this Galaxy Camera in order to allow make & receive phone calls ??? Can anyone confirm ??? ************************************************­***************************

  • ************************************************­****************************************** I repeat again my last question because nobody reply me and I think it's a very-very important question: ************************************************­****************************************** Could I connect a GMATE device to this Galaxy Camera by bluetooth in order to use it like a phone ??? Is it possible ??? I can do it this with an iPod Touch, iPad, Android Tablets, etc. Please, reply me. Thanks ;-)

  • it seems awsm i wanna buy 1,may i knw it's price please

  • how abt the battery life

  • IT able to speak in sky app any other apction

  • If this is a camera, not a phone, why gsmarena review it?

  • This camera can be used like a Voice call cellphone through downloading software from Google play. Just download "Go Contact Ex/Go Dialler" or 'Text plus message".U can also do VDO call from Skype/Tango/Fring"!! Its really awesome as a Camera+phone!!

  • nope it's not a phone the 3G or 4G for data connection for uploading pictures browsing the internet yea u can download apps like phone or tablet

  • also ok cemara best but only 1650mah bat

  • This is camera phone right? Can i make call and download apps like normal phone, exp. Samsung Galaxy SII ?

  • it is of much lower quality than the price is taken.

  • OK, but price is high.

  • agree with u..this is digital camera,not phone! i already bought it, i love this new generation digital camera . PLEASE TAKE NOTE,THIS IS CAMERA ,NOT PHONE.. hehe

  • Ok ... but could or couldn't connect a Gmate device with this Galaxy Camera in order to get a 3G phone to make and receive calls like a iPod Tounch, iPad and Android Tablets, please ??? Could I install apps like WhatsApp too ??? I need a complete reply, please. Thanks.

  • Needs support for GSM voice communication and also needs to compatible to apps like Whatsapp, Skype, Tango & Viber...

  • Hi, Could I connect a Gmate device to this Galaxy Camera by bluetooth in order to use it like a phone ??? Is it possible ??? I can do it this with an iPod Touch, iPad, Android Tablets, etc. Please, reply me. Thanks ;-)

  • Haiyooo....dont know whether that people is human or zombie.....still dont u'stand, omg....Samsung Galaxy CAMERA, Not Samsung Galaxy Handphone....

  • Hmm good phone

  • the lens is too protruded? it's a camera for ratsakes, not a phone. Optical lens - the hardware that can extend works better than digital zoom.

  • When u r getting the best pic pixel density in 550d, y go for samsung galaxy camera. Dedicated cameras r far better than cameras with android having multiple apps tht runs off the Battery...bull shit on ur part :-)

  • I was smittened the first time I saw the pic. However, after reading the specification and learning that voice call is not supported, I have decided to wait for next version with call facility... The lens is too protruded.

  • today i played with it it's AWESOME it just like a normal phone just hevier xD

  • It's not a phone but you can use it via apps likes fongo,skype....voip.

  • Where did you found it in Bahrain? I just want to check it personally. Thanks

  • Omg.wer did u buy it from? 20.2k? For real?

  • today just I take it on my hand....its just awesome...its zoom is brillantly made...nearabout 1 kms its takes a clear pics.....i am not a samsung user but it makes me fan of it.....

  • this camera is good combination camera & phn features. but it is not excellent. it is too heavy and large to carry with. even there is no voice call option & camera is only 16 mp(24 mp desired).

  • does wattsapp work on this camera?

  • damm this is new generation of digital camera! i bought it for 600 dollar .. i fall in love with her ..oh my camera ..

  • Tested with apps LINE, its work. Viber and whatsapp cannot install as its doesn't compatible with the device..

  • this is not a phone. this is a 'camera' with a phone specification. this camera specially made for people who like to share photos quickly without transfer it to other devices with a better quality photos.

  • gr....8 device. this is a digital camera with everything. i can listen to music. can use web thru this camera. can take pics and can upload it. its really fast. video recording is superb. only problem is that it has no voice call. but ok i m having gs3 for this purpose. camera is very clear. i sold n8 and pureview for this camera. and what i feel is it was worth. really worth. i took pureview for camera but i must say no to pureview. uploading of any pic to fb is very slow. symbian is boring and much much much inferior than android in all the ways and i even did not like the camera of pureview. only thing i loved in pureview was video recording. right now i m having gs3 and this camera and they both are mighty things for me. android is best. and will remain best in future too.

  • need call option mr. samsung!!! ..don't judge the book when you don't have the (cover) or this samsung g.cam.. ..don't rely on just reviews of others.. for me its worth it..

  • Sad not to make calls with it...maybe next time Samsung think on it...

  • no!! s3 is wrong option. coz it's camera is very ordinary against galaxy camera n pureview. pureview can call n massage with camera power like Samsung galaxy camera.

  • it is god but not best

  • Sad not to make calls with it...maybe next time Samsung think on it...if I want a camera I would buy a Nikon ..not this...

  • Not perfect without front camera.

  • I usually hate samsung phones,but this one is simply ,,one of the BEST"!

  • hey...its a nice cam as well as a nice phone too but we cant make call...but its jellibeen os nd 4.8" screen is very much usefull for internet nd other phone activitees...

  • but there is no secondary camera so how to use skype on it.

  • Hi. Just had my hands on it. I was able to buy it for Php20200. Overall, the quality of the images it produce rivals the Pureview. It excels in zoomed-in shots and is better than any Sony camera phones in lowlight conditions. Gaming and everything else is as good as when using other android device of the same spec. Its a bit hard to hold though cause of the camera protrusion. It can be used for texting via 3G but has no firmware to support phone calls. I was able to pair mine with Gmate and calling works fine. The only drawback, if you decide to receive a call using it when your in a crowd, EVERYONE WILL STARE AT YOU WITH DOUBTFUL EYES. I love it.

  • is this mobile phone type?

  • the most questions we asked, can camera making a call. YES i tested it, i can send and receive a text SMS under my sim (under my phone number)but could not make or receive call. Camera can make or receive call via voip, i installed fongo app and it does everything with new number (number from fongo) for free. you need data or wifi

  • this is handphone or camera????

  • hi lenscape, from my understanding, its an android camera. may be there is no function for sms or call but we can install it. same goes to video call. we can use third party applications. like u said by using skype or vibe or yahoo messenger.

  • yes 3G avaiable for data connection! DUH?!

  • it has no call-sms function! duh!!

  • It is a camera based device and it has only 16 MP camera?!It should have had a 32 MP one to do justice to its name....

  • There says talktime 4 hours and 30 minutes and supports SIM card...lol man there are the specifications and he says stupid things YES!! you can make calls

  • u can call but u have to be only in 3g ntwrk bcoz there is no 2g ntwrk. n its a phone wid camera not a single camera....

  • nope. its already written. but who cares for calling if yua phone is such a rocking cam :* but u can insert simcards and data cards :)

  • sim card slot available but purely for data..CANT MAKE GSM voice calls..not so sure about skype and viber though.

  • can we make calls from it..???

  • Pls watch the official ad. You can make video calls using this. Specs also mention talktime hours. However, at the shop, i can't find the Call or Phone icon. Perhaps, via Viber or Skype?

  • if u want to cal buy mobile S3

  • ankur....i think u kno all about gsm arena..thts why u r saying like this....pls confirm b4 update..u can call..i purchased this mobile and am using rite now..tak care

  • of-course u can call, Sim option is available, call time up to 4 h 30 mint........

  • it iz also for gaming bro!! it has quad core processor 1.4 ghz..

  • i think samsung do copy from nokia pureview 808...

  • WHO R U ??? WTF ??? I repeat the question: Can anybody tell me if I can connect a Gmate device between that and this Galaxy Camera in order to make a Voice Call, please ???

  • Yes the model is switble but why GPRS n 3G is not install , plz. install it .,.,

  • most of us keep on thinking this is phone. pls change your mind set. set this as camera. than only u will see the benefits and features. don't compare with phone but compare with cameras. :)

  • Hi Tahir, first of all, u need to understand that this is an android camera. it is made because its a trend now people take pics and post it immediate to social network. it is actually a camera that support android. definitely u cant make out going calls from it. but u may use social network to communicate with people e.g facebook, twitter, instagram, viber, whatsapp. honestly for me, this is suitable to youngsters and people out there who spends most of the time on social networking. u can also transfer pics using bluetooth. and this camera support wifi.. :)

  • its a camera with android not some cell phone...:p

  • useless phon, no gsm othrwis it's a great phon

  • no

  • no voice communications no 3G either.

  • is this good to use for net users

  • can we make calls from this phone or not...???

  • im not really know bout this gadget but could anyone tell me is this phone have function to text n make a call in normal way??

  • very nice cam.it is now launched in bahrain it costs bd210 u will be in my hand very soon....

  • Galaxy camera is a new revolution in camera

  • this is camera with phone....make call and sms with 3g ...

  • wtf are specifications of device!!! whether a camara with 3G connectivity needs 4.8" screen, quod core processor with 1GB RAM mali 400 gpu????

  • good build& great design!!!

  • It is made for photographers

  • This phone is only useful for people who is interested in photography not for people who is interested in Android games

  • i want to buy this so what is this price. this is the amazing phone i most like this.

  • It can only send text-messages but Call facility is not available..

  • so u dont take no force

  • so nice

  • nice,great,wonderfull i didn't saw anything like that before such amazing!!

  • sooo costly

  • Why no call function...? That's really suck..!!!

  • 3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 It is phone (you can make phone call IN/OUT), you can send SMS, etc.

  • It should have S pen also so that it can have the similar features such as S3

  • After I review It become a camera not like camera & phone not like phone A product that like mixing product Quad Core and android OS make it battery life short.. Lens protect not so nice.... Price not so suitable..

  • i have made phone calls from mine. just install text plus calls from google play store,setup and you're in business

  • Not enough battery life for something that big. Great for women with a purse to carry it in though.

  • awsome product

  • Because it is a camera. Not a phone. Btw, it looks ugly and the price sucks..

  • can i call others through gsm sim in samsung galaxy camera??

  • do it works as cellphone ( do it works as communicational device)?

  • whether can able to make voice call using 2G....

  • Supreme !!!

  • I like

  • It doesn't support 3g or 2g calling. But it still can browse web on 3G.

  • realy it is smart camera

  • If it supported 2g voice calling also it would be a great gadget i would like to get..

  • Don't show your ignorance about cameras friend. I have met so many who try to compare point and shoot cameras to DSLR which is very very foolish. They are worlds apart from any angle and should not be compared in the first place. Why don't you appreciate this novel idea of a real "Camera Phone"?

  • it has sim but no gsm only 3G and 4G it will play mp3

  • As I know this camera can do a video call but not normal call,... So I think viber or skype can be functioning,... You May refer to Samsung Galaxy Camera Officials video for more info,...

  • the samsung they can't make good cameras never

  • this camera cant reach the dslr or superzoom cameras because the photos it is not good the opticals no good.

  • in india what is a price of this camera?? it supports sim card or not?and mp3?

  • The main reason why this camera doesnt have a telephone support is the battery life. If this camera had a phone option the fully charged battery wouldnt last for more than an hour. Imagine 21x zoom, 3G and phone. The other reason that I think why it doesnt support phone is that Samsung didnt want to slow down the sales of its other best selling phones i.e S3 and Note2. Anyhow, I would love to buy this camera next time I am in Dubai Duty Free.

  • ohmy!!! :D

  • Samsung leads the future!!!!

  • first came the android smartphone then android smart tv and now cameras??? what's next android powerd washing machine, microwave oven, refrigerator & what's more android powered calculators , android powered watches etc. by the way what is a camera doing in mobile phone site any way.? and it weighs300 gms it is not even compact to fit in pocket. any way I wish samdung all the best for its camera...........

  • Then it might be my next target :)

  • wow! very nice &how can ipurchase this handset plz replay me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,iranna

  • Ok its not phone but still we can get information, which is more appreciable, so dont post -Ve comment

  • Is this device can make phone call?

  • no GSm meant cant make a call right?

  • no

  • No! we can make calls bcoz this cam is 3g. and there is no usb 2.0 or 3.0 slots.

  • the battery life only 1650mAh ??

  • basically, this is not a Phone, and it should NOT be listed on GSMArena because this not "GSM" device. its a Digital Camera with Android, Nikon also had Android powered digital camera, yet they not list it on this site.

  • guys there's something you have to put in mind,this is a device not a smartphone cause normal phones can take and receive calls,this item is just to have a high quality images and share them with your mates. one thing confusing me,why bringing out such high features of a smartphone while it cant make calls . i guess the trick is,that professional cam with a phone,then say bye bye to your battery hehehe.

  • This item can make the call or not??

  • obviously this is not a phone. It a smart camera. Many people was confuse on this....

  • the camera is 20x better than you think it is :)

  • awesome phone .. with great looks or with fabulous camera...

  • No GSM voice support? Why have they done that? Pretty much makes it not a phone anymore.

  • Anyone got it yet? Is the camera as good as samsung said?

  • What you are talking, when you have not even seen that phone! You have no idea what it is.

  • What you are talking, when you have not even seen that phone! You have no idea what it is.

  • Do you people find it suitable lugging a phone like that as your everyday phone?think of all the dust/dirt/microorganisms that sticks to your previous phones then imagine it on this phone...having an expansive camere phone like this...not an option.just doesn't suit routine everyday life.methinks.no offense.clever idea though.

  • Increible, the most increible phone I ´ve ever has. Hiper recomendable. bye bye Iphone...

  • battery 1650 mah??!!!!!ok...good luck for those who bought this device...:)

  • Guys this is worst phone, it says that it has quad core..bt this phone acts like a single core.and this camera clearity is not good as S3

  • I think the battery capacity will be too small for the features...

  • nice but u compare with nokia Pure View,samsung galaxy camera it's size was so big ,like wise heavy phone......but allover its nice.

  • review???

  • super.............

  • Please add Phone Features as well in this design..This will gonna rock Market!!

  • Galaxy camara is awesome camara...

  • very helpful and nice idea

  • You're right nokia 808 is better PHONE but galaxy camera isn't a phone. . .it's not voice call unable. . It's actualy a camera having android os for better experience. . If you've compared the quality. . .then i must tell you one thing processing time of 5mp image (oversampled) is less in 808 . .try taking images in 38mp (so called 41mp) and then calculate the speed. . Lose less zoom in 808 will give you 8x digital zoom (and the image will not be oversampled) but you can get 21x optical zoom in glx cam way better than loseless, and after all it's worth comparing a phone with smartcamera!! You are not wrong but. . Ppl using 808 won't get 21x goodness , pop up xenon and much more software goodies. . .

  • What is the point of buying this phone without GPRS on the go? Wifi are not available in the train.

  • Are you sure no GPRS?

  • Not really, the Nokia 808 is a lot better than this. I've already compared them. The Nokia processes the photos a lot faster and a bulky phone? This is alot heavier and bulkier than the 808.

  • i'm very dispointed, iithis must be gsm enabled why samsung made like this

  • My dream ,but with gsm also :)

  • I'd prefer this one over to Nokia 808 PureView. This one has a quad core and 1GB of RAM while 808 is a single core with maybe 512MB. So instead of buying a bulky phone with 41MP that I wouldn't use not to shorten CPU life, I'd get an android camera with 16MP, optical zoom and a quad-core well capable of any kind of processing - imaging, gaming, wtv. Plus its 3G connectivity would be just perfect to use my mobile flat plan net SIM card with it! I just wonder how much can the battery endure... Wish it was like Moto's Razr Maxx!

  • much better if you type your message on an iphone5 or 4s, this is really the best one for you, just come on with the no 1.

  • does this support voice calling?? specs says it doesnt support gsm voice communication...

  • if for snapping pictures just for fun this is the right camera for it but if you guys are really into pictures quality...i would say find a realy digital camera or DSLR of some sort...but this is a great innovation from samsung. At least they tried something new for digital camera category.

  • Can i use bluetooth headset for andriod apps like viber for calling? Advice much appreciated.

  • good futuristic and full internet with android is much fun

  • DAFAQ did I just read ?

  • Image quality wise i think Canon is better. Price wise i think Canon is much more affordable. Yea, this camera comes with lots of smart devices capabilities. But i think i will just pass. To me, image quality is much more important for a point and shoot camera.

  • This is actually a camera with wifi+cellular, it's like an ipad. You can't make a voice call with it. But you have full access with the internet, maybe GSMarena mistype on SIM field with no, It's actually has it.

  • Ill just wait for galaxy camera GC200 it has higher mpix cam, 1080p display & 2gb of ram

  • no........this is ten much ten much....

  • I totally understand the use now, I was really missing these capabilities in my sony cybershot.

  • You nearly killed me with the lack of basic punctuation in your statement. Get your facts right and punctuation before you start posting some bullcrap

  • Lol dude nokia made 808 41 mega pixel camera so why that was kicked out from the market? Bcoz that was a shit phone and for your kind informatione there is difference in mobile camera,s and digital camera,s. Samsung made a digital camera with Android software bcoz now adays people have more interest in android software so that is why those people love android and also love digital camera,s no doubt they will buy this camera and i will also buy this camera soon even i have my samsung galaxy s3 from which i am typing this message for you. So Digital camera is every one,s need and with jelly bean it,s become a gold on glitters.

  • The samsung galaxy camera is so bulgy yet only 16 mp camera !!! . Nokia 808 Pureview beats this big time.

  • Really, it's too much from Samsung.Every day, it's some new devices comming. Too much is too much.

  • Hahaha I like that

  • How long before Apple release an icamera with half the features but twice the price

  • good

  • Of course it has a SIM Card, I just got one today!!

  • so good

  • Wat izz D Cost Of Dis Camera???

  • It has micro sim, it supports SMS and MMS but you cannot make a phonecall with it.

  • Is this a phone or a camera, or both

  • its wrong. galaxy camera has sim card slot. it's micro sim card. i dont know why it's written no on sim card fild

  • i get this phone..... yes it,s aphone with sim 2G ,3G and 4G..... price 380 dol

  • i get this phone.........it is aphone with sim and 2G , 3G , 4G

  • samsung please try to do someting like this with [sim]i promise you you are going to mark a lot of momey with it

  • I had a dream of product like this....only it should support sim card :D

  • nothing has been said about the cost of the camera.hope it might become phone & camera in near future and bring revolution in both sectors.Still I am eager to have it provided cost is kept reasonable'

  • jeebers people, its digital camera with some of the awsome features of android OS. F.x. Share photos, send via mail, sync with g+ or any of the other cloud services. Download photo manipulation software and edit on the camera screen if you wish.

  • "talking to a camera is quite idiotic." Go and see the specifications. "SIM : No" So this is not a phone.

  • If you check the other pictures in GSMArena (click on Pictures link), you can see the UI has messaging app which is for texting /sms. This should be supporting text but may not be call. This device could be a smaller version of Tablet with good camera optics and no calling feature.

  • expected to be released in india during diwali.... 21x optical zoom & capacitive touchscreen with android jelly-bean will be a plus point then other digi cams in market plus corning gorilla glass 2- touchwiz user interface & a lot lot lot more.... this camera is gonna rock tha nation

  • talking to a camera is quite idiotic.

  • Same all here. If this was a phone, I'd buy it ASAP.

  • it is a phone!!!!1

  • inbuilt sim..

  • I saw one of these in the flesh yesterday.It froze 5 times within 1 hour,perhaps the first batch might be a bit iffy

  • Thr is a wifi !!!!

  • why their is not 2G facility in this sexy phone

  • this gadget is actually awesome....but jss one feature less drop this phone on bottom...it must have a sim...

  • Its a god dang camera people! Not a telephone, although you can make yourself look like an idiot who talks to his camera, your loss

  • if this was a phone as well, i'd buy it!

  • i think there are soome updates waiting to come for this

  • ther is a message app on there how do you send messages without a sim

  • samsung galaxy was awesome i can't find this phne never and ever i jst lve it...!

  • 3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 4G Network LTE SIM No => Could you explain me how we access to 3G/4G without sim ? Thx

  • why Samsung doesn't put a mobile phone system to this? I think It would be super idea and this camera phone would sell a lot..

  • Your Right....

  • samsung neet to be made it with sim card, otherwise, it may not success in indian market.

  • a high resolution cam worth a 150 usd and a brand new samsung with good specifications worth 250 usd ,price should be max 400 usd ..that's fair

  • You guys have awful English you know that right? This 'phone' is clearly not a phone at all. It'll have a data connection so you can upload photos and such, but it is no phone. I'd rather use this over any camera phone, as, basically, all camera phones are shit. Although for this price I think I'd rather get a cheap DSLR.

  • Actually korea does use sim card....

  • why is there a 3G connection, and LTE? also, Korea, and Japan does not use sim card so, no sim card slot is just for now, and once they go over seas, they may change

  • It have 3g connection, so it must have sim card.

  • Sell well? Are you kidding or what? What can you do with this? You can buy a 16 MP camera at 100$, and you said that this can't work as a phone, so, WTF? Rubbish sammy...

  • nowhere on the spec list is this described as a phone. - it's not one. it cannot take a sim card and therefore cannot send texts or make calls. it is a camera. Calm down, it will probably sell very well - just as the galaxy note did when people said 'it was too big'.

  • How in the name of all that's holy you could use this as a phone? OMG, Samsung calls this a "first"? Yeah, first, but a first that noone cares about, and which has no use whatsoever. Phone manufacturers had been trying to reduce the size of the camera on their devices, but not making the camera bad by any means. That is the path to follow. Samsung as always doesn't understand what a breakthrough technology means. They should look up to LG, which is by far the most important manufacturer.

  • I would like it very much if it was a phone too.... Meaning that if it could support SIM card....

  • people who complaine about this phone phone/camera is mostly several of the times people who cant afford it, called jelousy, i think this can work awsome, and even if it doesnt use a simcard you can stil connent wifi and use as a normal phone. awsome.

  • wifi connection no need SIM card...remember? :)

  • If it does not support SIM, how can we use WiFi-Hotspot?

  • its not a phone. its a camera

  • If it only has GSM feature, I would sell my phone and buy this one!

  • sim no

  • Good job Samsung in the innovation... Liked the concept..

  • no

  • this is a bad step from samsung what is this big camera itsn't seemed to be phone .... wake up samsung

  • Is it able to use for phone calling?

  • when it will be available for Bangladesh

  • when it will be available ??

  • when would that be available here in the philippines? How much would it cost?

  • when you sell it?

  • I think it will be great! Especially if you're able to go live some way via internet. Some type of broadcasting will set this product way out front..

  • I think it will be great! Especially if you're able to go live some way via internet. Some type of broadcasting will set this product way out feont..

  • Whats in Nokia; 21x Optical Zoom? Amazing OS? Compatibility with different social media sites? DLNA functionalities? Photo editing tools? NFC?

  • very good for us

  • According to Jessops advertising it is a camera and smartphone combined. I presume it uses the 3G network to make/receive calls if no SIM card? A bit confusing!

  • Mid life crisis...huhuhuhuhu

  • Who the heck wants this so called phone?

  • actually you don`t need any simcard, you can just download apps like Viber & whatsapp, offcourse you need an wirelss area to do this, but i like the way samsung are going with this.

  • if Samsung make this mobile phone, no one going to buy Samsung Galaxy S3. SAMSUNG SMART

  • no sim? its better if it can text and call, just like psp if they built camera and mobile phone functions in it would be a super phone

  • I really appreciate to get this camera very soon...

  • Samsung Galaxy Camera better then Nokia pureview.why because it has 4.8 HD display better Camera SENSOR,Super Fast,better battery life and better choice. oh almost forgot and its ANDROID.

  • your wrong dude, just wrong with your comment, get your facts straight and study how different OS works before you go saying something is better than another

  • i already have this samsung galaxy camera, it's really cool and tremendous camera, very good on wifi as well

  • It would have been fantastic if they had included a SIM card slot.

  • Nokia 808 pureview way better than this

  • You are wrong Android has already beaten S40, Symbian Belle, Meego System, LiMo, Windows Phone OS etc. already and no one could take android's place in the smartphone market

  • It is not a phone, it is more like a smart camera. But i don't will have to much success. As to what you've said, nothing can beat nokia in terms of quality and innovation + experience. So at that, you are right:)

  • it does.

  • Lol! Samsung cannot surpass nokia 808 technology today eventhough it was symbian belle OS so they made fusion of digital camera & a smartphone with android jelly bean OS. But jelly bean & digital camera are not enough I think they need real innovation on cameraphone which is convenient to the user in many ways in terms.

  • very nice just i wnated

  • Device with no support for GSM voice communication.

  • tis is very gfood hand set but price is very high

  • Can you call here? seems that i cant find any headset there

  • 1. Should have 2G network support 2. 1650 mA battery is too less considering xenon flash and wi fi use

  • i think you can use a skyroam gmate to support gsm.. it has bluetooth and running os android.. :)

  • @Dave: what's wrong with 1650mAh? That's a camera and not a smartphone, it's not supposed to be a phone or tablet replacement. Samsung says you can take more than 250pics, that should be sufficient for one day. If not: have a spare battery with you, the camera seems to use the Galaxy S2 battery type, which can be bought for less then £10. Swapping is easy (and common with cameras), booting up takes only 5secs!

  • pls replay comment answer

  • Good model.No available form Bangladesh

  • Better and much cleaner than Nokia 808 Pureview.

  • Device with no support for GSM voice communication. *read the top

  • No,you can not. read properly upper.

  • I liked this phone-camera think (I don't know how to call), but very disappointed that not GSM voice calls and radio. I hope next will be integrated GSM voice calls and radio tuner.

  • Only a 1650mAh battery??? Can this be called a mobile? You'll probably have to have it plugged in to a socket to run.

  • Should have full phone and camera specification if samsung really wanna have a big hit the others company will suffer....

  • so you can make phone call too?

  • It does not have LTE for sure.

  • look great but what is the price

  • Ofcource you could

  • brilliant! camera and phone built in sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet well done samsung and it does support 2/3g

  • What's with all the comments about the samsung galaxy camera being a phone? :/ How can a camera ever be a phone?

  • thats why it is so called galaxy camera... its a CAMERA.. so dont expect gsm connectivity.. i cant imagine myself texting/calling on this thing lol... though its good for a cam... touchscreen.. android os.. wifi... fast cpu.. :)

  • So it's a phone with camera or a camera with phone? Or a camera without phone? Or too shy to say it's a camera with phone, a giant in camera phone...hahaha What technological advantage does it have over other similar or closer devices???

  • Its stated that it has bluetooth connectivity so i assumed that it can connect to a bluetooth headset and use skype or other voip software from full access app market to make voip phone calls but not for the usual phone calls as i don't think it comes with an ear speaker.

  • whats with the front camera?

  • At the top of this page it says "Device with no support for GSM voice communication" :( very dissapointed

  • OMG amazing samsung.Carry on,we are watching.

  • wether it will work as a phone or not make it clear.

  • It has sms messaging. I think it's also a phone.

  • i wish i can have this for my girlfriend's birthday gift. shes an artist and a fan of camera..im just using my samsung galaxy android smartphone for taking a picture..but its cool.. i really love samsung alot..thnx samsung..we love u..

  • is it a phone also or just only a camera ?

  • 2G should be must in every mobile

  • best smart camera. i must have one once it luanch

  • is this is smart camera

  • nononononononononononononononono...!

  • superb ultimate (=d)

  • Its not a phone!!

  • This baby is a dream!

  • they should use better batery

  • why there is no fm?

  • yeah!! Mother of all the mobile.. camera plus android phone.. what else you look for!! Beat that IPHONE 5!!! ahahahah

  • can i use skype in this model.please tell me .

  • i like it due to its very best quality and durability.nevertheless,hope its affordable to all.

  • samsung galaxi camera is best model one of the models of mobiles.

  • This is what I have been waiting for since long. I shall definitely buy it as soon as available. The only thing missing: a radio and a shaver.

  • yaaa i like it....

  • Without a doubt im buying this!! Although its a fight between the Nikon Coolpix 800c but i already have a nikon Dslr so a different variaty would be nice to have :) IF YOU LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY ; BUY IT. -easy to carry -high pixel -wide range zoom to 250mm -huge storage

  • nice mobile camera, i like its

  • its coming in the right time for me, I like photography and its also time to replace my 2 years old phone. I was aiming for note 2 but this will serve me better. I only wish if it had 2gb ram, but i'm fine with 1gb

  • The battery is very bad ? Why Samsung

  • attraction is the very important thing in the entair business world. little modification is required

  • Hope i can connect this to Gmate. Another advantage of this form factor if it can be used as a phone via Gmate.: Stealthily - not hot looking for thief, can just hang on my neck inside a standard camera bag and no worries. Unique - Calling with a camera sure looks fun. Just use loud speaker to you would'nt look crazy. I WANT THIS!

  • This is really f*** stupid Design.

  • Its Just a Great thing if its coming like in One Features....

  • lol....imagine if we can make phone call through the camera....it would be funny thing...talking to camera...

  • no voice call so poor but camera is awesome

  • I fail 2 understand y samsung made dis device. it is neither a phone nor a good camera..

  • I am fine U???????

  • cannot. as u can read above. this device cannot make voice communication however u connect it to another device.

  • "Device with no support for GSM voice communication." =( really really sad...

  • WHO R U ??? WTF ??? I repeat the question: Can anybody tell me if I can connect a Gmate device between that and this Galaxy Camera in order to make a Voice Call, please ???

  • awesome camera .............................. i lke it

  • WHO R U ....................

  • "Could I connect a Gmate device by bluetooth to this Galaxy Camera in order to make voice calls ???" Can anybody reply me, please ???

  • not sure yet

  • 1 GB RAM and 1,4 GHZ CPU that's really good !!! One important question !!! Could I connect a Gmate device by bluetooth to this Galaxy Camera in order to make voice calls ???

  • Really Poor Battery...

  • I would love this to be my next phone, except for the fact that it won't work as a phone! That and the internal memory and RAM could be a little bigger.

  • it's not a phone?so sad....

  • Very attractive

  • iam happy that samsun have finaly come to my dream i have been thinking a camera with phone call ,please try to put all the functions just [nokia 808] that will mark it more special

  • It's brilliant

  • its a good looking camera \

  • Hope this Camera has a mouth piece that can be used to make a call when connected to a Gmate device.

  • This would be a perfect phone if it could just make voice calls, because I'm needing a new camera to take on holiday. Because I always have to carry my camera, my phone and another phone to put a pre-pay SIM in for whichever country I'm in to keep in touch with my family, and if this could do voice calls it would be perfect to combine the camera and second phone.

  • wooow....it will rock the world....i will must buy this one at any cost...

  • If it supported GSM calls (European standards) as well, I would definitelly buy one...

  • Had a look at this today at photokina and the display was clearly of AMOLED-type with pentile matrix. However the operationaly it was very well made. Could not judge the photo quality though.

  • It look beautiful! I like this kind of camera, with Android 4.1.1 Saving money for this...

  • But I don't understand ... 2G Network: N/A No support for GSM voice communication. Ok ... but I can make calls by 3G Network. I always use my Nokia N8 on 3G Network and I use to do a lot of calls using 3G Network ... What's the problem ??

  • ha ha.. if this cameraphone support for call.. it'll be funny... no call,camera with androi os..that better

  • yeah. you have the point there

  • No.., Its stated above in the specification that this unit does not support voice communication.:) Sad thing.. It would be at best if this is a cameraphone just like the pixon 12

  • why one expect it to be a phone when it is a camera this gizmo just providing a convenience to use it alternatively as a phone not purely made for phone calls and the best part is that you can edit your snaps after clicking it and due to phone features you can share it instantly.this is a innovation off course this is the only thing that makes samsung apart from other players.

  • Since NOKIA 808 has not made its model for LIDE-4G networks, so this model can rule the camera phones withing the range

  • Does anybody know if this Android Camera will support voice communication feature in a future ??? If this would be certain, I'm sure of buy it !!!

  • what do you think will be the price of this camera phone its not yet in the PH.Market !!

  • Why do you people want this to be a phone?! Does it look even remotely comfortable to hold and use as a phone for voice calls? I think this could be the iPhone point and shoots if Samsung prices this correctly. If this more than $399 it will be treated as just a silly niche product, nothing more.

  • nice comment,good sense of humour

  • impressive design...i love changes .. would have been more productive if allowed gsm calls.

  • How weirdest the level of things can go???

  • Its a camera

  • Hi, those saying its has no gsm voice should take a good look of the specs. It has no 2G period

  • Actually it's not a good idea and this is why : small sensor= bad image quality,large zoom= bad image quality .It's true it's a better camera than those on most mobile phones have but it's not a better camera than the one on the808 ,it's true the 808 has a lame OS but at least it's a phone . There a lot of cameras with wifi so why would you need a camera-tablet 2in1 combo when you would also need a phone ?

  • Great idea by Samsung. in my knowledge only ASUS and SAMSUNG are the greatest thinkers including the late Steve jobs and this thing is really great combining a phone into a camera is really great. it's should be more greatness if they enabled calling function.this is really suitable for professional photographers and Paparazzi's 2in1 Paparazzi:a secret photo is taken i will share in Facebook quickly. Ananymous:OK Papa. The biggest plus-point is Android in IT!

  • the position of the camera while texting is bad..

  • No gsm voice calling it nt good

  • I don't think this is a phone.. because it does not support GPRS n EDGE. More Or less its like Camera and Tablet PC combined.. The 3G is for Internet Surfing purpose I think..

  • I don't think this is a phone.. because it does not support GPRS n EDGE. More Or less its like Camera and Tablet PC combined.. The 3G is for Internet Surfing purpose I think..

  • its only a camera with no voice calling function.....like tabblet with a superb camera......hence not trying to copy the lame nokia pureview

  • Attention please guys. Look at this thing a phone embedded in camera. Earlier we used to have camera in phone. Nowdays new discovery of samsung that is phone in a camera. They just want to discover a new 808 pureview but they are unable to. Look at this cheap copy of nokia fake 808 pureview. Hahahahahaahahaaa.........

  • I like it dramatic. It is nearly 0.0003Tons weight if you wish

  • that's amazing....like no other

  • Awesome but the camera in the back is too big. Can you make it thinner ?

  • video at 120 fps is the only thing that is outstanding in this camera/phone. other than that nothing.

  • 0.3 kg !!!!!??! which fool is going to buy this one ?

  • Weird

  • when imaging innovation is on top, pureview is still the leader,,, they made it with uniqueness, passion and originality,,, one thing that differs nokia from the rest, it has a SOUL. The galaxy camera is not a fone, its a android-based camera, lack of innovation, even on design, just like a galaxy fone pasted on a digicam.

  • 3G Network You can put a SIM in it.

  • copy from nikon

  • loy! I like it.

  • Does support 3G voice communication ???

  • Put a sim in it. Its a camera not a mobile

  • we can make calls with but the question will remain is this parctical and what materials are going to be used. Honestly the S3 was good but the plastic finish was all wrong and the slogan even worse.

  • Its a Great innovation by Samsung

  • poor battery same as galaxy s2

  • Its a very innovative product ... i am not sure about the picture quality but this will start a new revolution in digital photography ... also there should be some pre loaded camera apps ... well done samsung

  • Downy!! Ipads are on the site. They can't make phone calls. Its for convenience for other people. If you dont want to see it dont search for it!

  • Good point bro, lets get the ipad / galaxy tab taken off too

  • The amazing device i have ever seen.

  • this is a camera, not really a phone.. nokia 808 is still the best.. combining a good digicam and a full pledge cellular phone does the stuff.. still, the best 2 in 1 gadget..

  • WHY is this CAMERA on the website! It can't make calls so it is NOT a CELLPHONE. If a Samsung Fridge runs ANDROID will it also appear here?!

  • guys this is a camera not a phone! don't compere it with phones!! and yes of curse it have better photography options cause it's a camera!!!

  • Dude sometimes pixel dosen't matter other things matter more like zoom and stuff which aren't in nokia pure view

  • now why do i want to use something like this.

  • ermahgerd!

  • awesome yar...........

  • boss nokia user always think like this i am no saying its best camera but better than fake 41 mepixel cheater nokia.

  • its not even made to be a phone, its a camera! says so in the name

  • galaxy camera or galaxy note 2 which is better smart phone iwant to buy

  • :D:D yeah, I am sure this phone is gonna beat the sh*te out of Iphone 5 and Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 and so on.... :P:P

  • This phone is samsung's answer for the upcoming iphone 5. :D

  • No comparison to pureview 808 coz Pureview is still a phone primarily.... Since they can't innovate Smartphone Camera technology, they combined their camera and phone into one and presented a combination of worst of both.... Why innovate when they have Apple to copy from, Nokia to copy from and Google providing their OS free, all they need to do is buy hardware process it and sell into market, nothing is their, still they call it their phone.....

  • Hahaha... What a joke...First Galaxy Phone (can't count how many released), now Galaxy camera, Wait now for Galaxy Washing Machine, Galaxy Refrigerator, Galaxy Vacuum cleaner, Galaxy Microwave oven etc.... Way to go Samsung!!... With this strategy i don't know who're they trying to beat but surely one day we'll have more 'galaxies' on earth itself than universe has.... :P:P

  • pv is bettrer

  • Where is flash light????

  • If it is this thick? so unpocketable, no thanks.

  • How funny it is? Nokia fanboy are so jealous because this phone makes 808 like a joke... Just wait for the date released. And BTW Galaxy Camera 2 will have GSM support and it will smash Nokia Pureview technology so hard that Nokia will shutdown.

  • Nokia 808 can never beat Samsung Galaxy Camera phone , Samsung has awesome features and extra ordinary quality of video and pictures as well. Samsung " The Father of All Mobiles"

  • why 2G is not suported ..if 3G& 4G are suported then why is how this posible.......................so many pepole not getting 3G netwrk.....&....4G is not lounched in India........& so many contries.........

  • ya cha camera wai te ahe

  • much better than nokia pureview! well done samsung

  • Funny huh!!! Buy and try it! You will see. I have Pentax SRHD that can take more that hundreds of photos and the battery is only 925mAh.

  • Hey buddy, I have Pentax SRHD with 925mAh Battery but can take more that hundreds of photos and the battery still not drained! So do not judge Samsungs new innovation! Got me?

  • WoW!!

  • Good specification but one draw back no provision to make calls. otherwise it would have been superb; it would have been a all-in-one Gadget.. Nitesh agrawal pune

  • has a popup xenon one

  • Optical zoom compromises quality as well, at least when taliking about tiny sensor, because when you use optical zoom the amount of light that arrives at the sensor is less than without using zoom. Nokia 808's sensor is larger than Samsung Galaxy Camera's sensor, the aperture is bigger and the qulity of Carl Zeiss lenses can't be compared with cheap Samsung lenses..

  • so how many clicks gonna drain that puny battery...? hmmm.... lets think. i guess, 4. maybe 5 clicks. o_O

  • bad phone... nokia 808 pureview the best photo phone and innovation...... samsung not innovation

  • Where is the flash?

  • This camera is very nice but wondering the price

  • . I want this kind of spec for my smartphone. I love things that can do everything im interested in. If they add Calling and SMS functionality or if they or some 3rd party will sell a Calling and SMS plug and play device, or a call & txt app, then id say, ill sell my iphone4s and my pureview to buy this one. Well, i believe i can still do calls(if it has a mic port) and text via Viper App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=c­om.viber.voip&feature=related_apps#?t=W251bG­wsMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLnZpYmVyLnZvaXAiXQ..) I wish they added a pico projector too like in galaxy beam.

  • first of all this os not a phone so it can not make calls -_- its a smart-camera

  • 1.Battery is ridiculously small. 2.Why does it have a huge zoom ? Wouldn't a 3x zoom, with a higher quality lens, have been better ?

  • Apple will sue it for having "innovation".

  • Can this phone make a call or do txt messages via 3G?

  • Of course this device comes with the slot for sim card guys. It works on 3G and 4G networks.

  • @Raj : are u crazy?? this phone comes with sim card.. read the specifications properly..

  • Dude you should know what you are speaking.. lossless zoom is like in pureview where in even digital zoom, there is no loss of quality.. but anyways if sensor is small as in Galaxy Camera, there will be loss of a bit quality even in optical zooM!! and you know what.. next time you open your mouth, you better think twice!!

  • Just add SIM card slot to this and it would be great phone with great camera. Just think about it

  • Samsung Should have release such type of phone. Why not just add the SIM card place to this camera, so it can be used as phone too. I hope Samsung will thik about it and release such phone with great camera quality

  • you must use cover for lens otherwise it must be flopped because if the lens is uncovered then result must be affected

  • isn't this a camera?

  • I don't agree with you when you say PV have bad quality image at max resolution. Have you personally tried it before? Even reviews in GSM Arena have said that PV have great quality image even in full resolution.

  • Your wrong about that. Optical zoom don't loss quality while zooming. Make sure you know what your saying. Unlike digital zoom, the lens itself is the one that focus. Not like in digital zoom where in the picture will be crop to enlarge it. This camera has built in effects to enhance picture. Check out the demo. I seen it on another site. You can take pictures with a quality like the one who took the picture is a pro. You can zoom it at its max without losing any quality. And unlike the Pure View, you can take high quality pictures at max resolution. Pure View has bad pics when you take it at the max resolution. And don't just judge it without seeing the sample pics and reviews. You'll be astonished when you see its samples. I also don't like this at first but seeing the samples change my mind. The reason it is quad core is because of its effects and filter in the camera app. It can put effects and filter at the same time in just a second.

  • read carefully, its 3g camera phone, or 4g, not gsm

  • yz

  • i agreed its not phone becz its spec there is no 2g or 3g network.its first android based camera phone.those peoples are stupid who compare 808 pure.

  • It´s not a phone its just a camera with an android application

  • i hope it had a secondary Camera for video calls (skype , yahoo )

  • But the only problem is that it is just a camera, not a camera phone

  • Correct. Android powered? How much more useless can it be? Why not spend all that resources on developing a higher quality camera? I have read an article about android powered camera playing angry birds and go on facebook blah blah blah... Why not just get a smartphone? Doing those things on the camera only makes one looks dumb in front of others. Some might say its for portability reasons, but Hey! Everyone carries cell phones around.

  • why can't samsung name their products differently? galaxy camera? they have enough money to be more creative than this.

  • see specifications again and then write!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I really love it's design ! but the quality, Nokia pv might be much more better...

  • wn tr is no sim slot inside it.. tn what is the use of Wi-Fi hotspot inside it..???? no need of this app

  • Why not Bluetooth?...........Samsung Digital Camera needs Bluetooth also.

  • Is this camera really LTE compatible in Europe, USA or just in South Korea. Korean operators are using their own 4G LTE bandwidth(s) which can cause problems at least in Europe.

  • Yea, it is an android powered camera with a samsung lens which is not comparable to a Carl Zeiss lens. I would rather get a normal point and shoot with better lenses. What's the use of android on a camera when the camera cannot produce image with quality higher than a camera smartphone (nokia pv) ??

  • Handset is nice

  • Tape samsung galaxy player onto a samsung camera. Sell for lots of money muaahaha

  • It's a phone!

  • why there is no GSM connection?

  • wow its an amazing device

  • do you want use your camera into your ear? people will tell you "you are so STUPID" thats! but ciriously samsung can do this! samsung make this not for only camera, but make it internet and upload photos! and also made for not to bored you! if you want go to npv808! make it sense!

  • PV doesn't have 21x optical zoom, but why do you need ore than 4x lossless zoom in a compact camera??? Do you use you digicam as a teleschope or what??? If someone wants a camera with super zoom capabilities, then DSLRs are the only choice. If you zoom 21x the photos won't have a great quality cause the amount of light that reaches the sensor decreseas while zooming and with such a tiny sensor don't expect great results... About Symbian, it outperforms android in the multimedia departement and that's what matters in a camera, so in any point of view this device can't compete with Nokia PV...

  • this is 3g and 4g phone not just camera

  • galaxy camera better than nokia 808 pure because its spec Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9 or chipset Exynos 4412 Quad or 1gb ram and better jelly bean os...and nokia 808 pure spec CPU 1.3 GHz ARM 11 or GPU Broadcom BCM2763 or 512 mb ram and ios nokia belle.galaxy camera won...

  • Are you sure it's not copied from Apple? Quick, take it out of the market before it infringes some Apple patents!

  • nokia has 41 mp camera so nokia has better camera !

  • It is a Phone, or just a camera??

  • its not a phone its the first SMART CAMERA of the earth

  • Device with no support for GSM voice communication.///???? Den it will gives only the best camera option..

  • This 'thing'is a waste of money basically a digital camera running android, wat a waste not a phone nor a tablet..... if u want a solid camera 'phone there's nothing better then the 808 pureview

  • It's not a phone. It's a camera. Can't you guys read the specifications before commenting?

  • How can you expect a digital camera to make calls/sms?

  • HAHAHAHAHA what a piece.... only 1650MAH battery for 16MP plus Xenon flash plus android quad core? its funny....... the standby time will be very very very much less......

  • It's not a phone, it's a digital camera.

  • does the pureview have 21X optical zoom? and symbian nothing but a dead os. and remember that this is not a mobile phone. It's a android powered camera.

  • unbelievable phone but i don't think someone will need it or can carry it every day. and the price will be well over 800 euro

  • are u crazy its written very clear that on 4q of ths year to be on market read wisely ok. lol peace. .

  • Its really awesome

  • THIS IS NOT A PHONE PEOPLE! It clearly states that it has no support for voice communication. Get your facts straight.

  • Nokia PV's sensor is twice as big as Samsung Galaxy camera's sensor... 1/1.2">1/2.3"

  • Samsung needs to add RAW format to beat other compact and satisfy the customers.

  • specs r really better than 808

  • Can we call with this !!!!

  • They will need a better battery to power-up WIFI,XENON Flash, High-Bright 4.8 inches Screen and a Quad-core CPU!

  • Totally agree with you! Plus Nokia PV is using Carl Zeiss lens and this galaxy camera is just using samsung lense which is not as good. You will need to pay extra to use data for this cam, else no point having android as os. The price will not be any cheaper than pv too.

  • samsung have really lost it with this...

  • nope it wouldnt be,, the nokia pureview has a way bigger sensor and apreature, so sorry it is a bit of a gimmickk to trick people...

  • nokia 808 pv battery life - 34 hours vs galaxy camera battery life - 6 hours android jellybean? Quad cores? Large hd screen? What for when u only have a couple of hours of juice. Then it will just be dead weight in your pocket. And you still have to carry a phone. Nokia 808 is much more practical

  • nokia 808 pv sensor - 1/1.2" vs galaxy camera sensor 1/2.3" nokia has double the size of samsung sensor. In fact the sensor in nokia is larger than most compact cameras. So who's stupid now?

  • nokia 808 pv sensor - 1/1.2" vs galaxy camera sensor 1/2.3" nokia 808 pv battery life - 34 hours vs galaxy camera battery life - 6 hours enough said.. Nokia has done better with the 808 pv.. Galaxy camera will just go down the drain just like the 1st galaxy beam

  • but 41 megapixel take high Quality picture. you see more detail then 16 mp but 16 mp not bad i guess but i lov Samsung camera.

  • no other mobile cam in this world or any other world out there can beat nokia 808.

  • The camera yes, it should be, it has way bigger lens and sensor

  • It's not a phone.

  • it is not a phone. But it is the best Camera with galaxy player.

  • Well said... I don't have Nokia Pure View, but one of my friend bought it a few days ago. I say it is a good try from Nokia, but not the best!!!

  • When you compare the camera definitely. But it doesn't have voice call facility like Nokia Pure View. So, If you need a voice call facility, better to go with Nokia Pure View.

  • very ugly . but usefull

  • I would rather prefer a Digicam running Android

  • This is not a phone, its says on the the top Voice communication not supported

  • Wow.. A great innovation! But i will be scared to keep the phone in my pocket for fear of smashing the lens (if the camera button gets pressed accidentally). Hope Samsung will provide a Case with the phone like with other normal cameras.

  • Nah!dnt just compare cameras on their sensor,the higher the pixels the sharper the image,imagine 41mp vs 16mp!yuck.!samsung

  • It's 16mp camera is fake poor than Nokia 808 pureview 41mp resolution.

  • don't just compare cameras with megapixels, you're just making yourself look stupid, image sensors is one of the basis of a good camera, camera on cellphones will never beat a digicam unless the phone is equipped with large sensor witch is almost impossible because camera on phones are just extra features...

  • of course it is better, it's a "digicam" with a larger image sensor than nokia's tiny sensor...

  • Yes, because this is more of a camera than a phone. Optical zoom, better flash. It most definitely has a larger sensor too, which will make those 16Mpix be worth it. And the screen is a lot better too (Nokia could manage only 360x640, this thing has twice that much). It's true that the 808 still does the job of a PHONE slightly better, but if you really love cameras and care about super-resolution screens, you should go grab this thing :)

  • Yup. If can sms and call for sure i wil buy

  • Nice one i hope its much much better than nokia shit called pure view 808 good going samsung :D

  • No for sure, Nokia 808 PureView is much better and wait for Nokia Lumia phones that will also have PureView, just wait until 5th September, trust me, you won't be disappointed!

  • What now, Camera With a Phone integrated in it...Where is This World Heading......!!...!!!...!!!!!....!!.!

  • Nokia 808 Pureview Is Much Better Than Samsung Galaxy Camera Because It Has 16 MP Than Pureview That Has 41 MP. But The Design Of This Is Better Than Pureview. Am I Right??? :))

  • Please put on the average price/cost of these products so that the interested persons can purchase !!

  • does this support simcard?

  • nokia 808 e z so so better to this handset

  • this is not a phone it is android camera

  • no support for call/sms.. so sad..

  • This camera is not using Carl Zeiss. I have tried a few models and don't find Samsung lens impress me. But Nokia PV lens is Carl Zeiss and it really can tell the differences.

  • Device with no support for GSM voice communication. so dont call this a phone. this is a digital camera with android OS. which one better pureview or this? well it depend on what you are looking, a phone with outdated OS and little apps but with a great camera or a digital camera with the ability of a mini tablet or pmp, i will choose nokia 920 it has pureview camera grade plus winphone 8, a win win solution :D

  • excuse me sir, nokia 808 pureview is uncompareable with samsug galaxy camera. pureview has only camer, but galaxy has all bet specs.. pureview dnt have any focusing lens. moreover jellybean, not useles old symbian... here is android, leading in os market.

  • so, we can't use it to call somebody..?? that's suck.... But it kinda looks good though, when it comes out, i'll probably gonna buy it XD

  • Samsung fanboys are very strange... When Nokia 808 PV came out they were saying that it has a great camera but lacks some smartphone capabilities and is big and heavy and now they say that this is a great device even thought it has twice the weight and size of PV and doesn't come close to it in camera specs... I still don't understand why should a camera have a quad core and android when you still have to carry a smartphone with you...

  • no xenon flash.. trash camera olldddeeessstt...camera ever...hhaaa

  • But it would be... Given that fact it has an optical zoom vs a digital zoom... Regardless of MP that fact alone beats the Nokia 808 Pureview

  • no 2G??? why samsung whyyyy......???

  • OFC not

  • Is this better than Nokia 808 PUREVIEW 41MP ?

  • i want to purchase this phone but i don't no what is the price of this

  • you can use skype and also whatsapp or heywire

  • This is only (camera),very (smart camera)!. Good job,Samsung!. ;)

  • very nice....

  • Its not a mobile. it is a camera with mobile feature

  • But that would look plain stupid if people would see you talking through a camera. :D

  • this sucks. . 808 pureview is far better than this.

  • No GSM sucks.... but theres always VoIP through 3G

  • Simply Super It is not mobile It is more than that It is so sexy

  • 100% right!

  • I m worried abt pricing ! even sony offers a similr camera Sony's DSC-HX9V But i guess Android Power is much better than Sony, i want to know the comparative stats to another camera than a phone. I need quality !

  • great innovation samsung. carefull the top one will not be higher continuously. keep making good gadget

  • BUT HOW!!!!!! how samsung make this divice without gsm support??? COME ON!! 4.8 inches, 16 MP, 21x optical zoom, Android OS, v4.1, Quad-core 1.4 GHz??? if only this galaxy camera has gsm would be PERFECT!! better than S3 or note2....

  • PureView's everything okay expect ugly 640x360 pixel on 4" display meaning 184ppi density yuck nokia why no hd display :-|

  • No GSM support simply means... It supports CDMA. So we can surely use it as phone for making calls, sms, etc...

  • battery just 1650 mAh? I think it could well be a problem compared to the batteries of the other companies' point and shoot cameras specially considering that the OS is android which is famous for consuming more battery (Dont know if its actually the truth.)

  • I think Samsung should have voice communication on this Camera then it will be one of its kind, just like Galaxy Note when it first came out. This is just a point to shot camera then there are so many chooses out in the market and this one would not be my first choice.

  • Incase you guys missed the 100 comments stating its not a phone, here it is again ITS NOT A PHONE its a new type of camera! so its not trying to compete with the PureView its just a new product that samsung are bringing to the world. Just like how sumsung gave us the galaxy note no one thought it would be practical but it is one of the best selling samsung devices. SAMSUNG GALAXY CAMERA IS NOT A PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!

  • it has S voice, not mentioned here

  • 305g,,,,,, pure view willbe better,,,,,

  • it's not a phone and not just camera it have quad core so you can do what you want this device made for those how don't like the smart phones and use a normal phones so you can check whatever you want from this device and i'm gonna buy it for sure

  • You know, there's this thing they call 'internet'. I heard it can be provided through 3G/4G signal. Maybe and just maybe that's why the SIM card is there.

  • Jealous

  • why samsung didn't use the same screen on galaxy s3 and galaxy note 2! at least it's RGB matrix not pentile?

  • hahahahahaha what an ugly fail

  • Device with no support for GSM voice communication..?? i dont think its a phone.

  • yes why the sim slot ablable here...

  • Of course it doesn't do calls, if it's a camera! It's sad they not made this a camera phone.

  • It doesnt do calls! This is a failure! Tsk tsk tsk!

  • This is not a phone.

  • whats the price expected ?

  • Add gsm feature + bigger battery and i will buy it xD

  • better to buy dslr..or pureView

  • this is the future!!! Big example and milestone in the cellphone world and the photography world!! big step!!!

  • Digital Camera + SmartPhone - Phone = Smart Camera?? :/ Why does a camera need a quad-core?

  • Very nice looking camera.

  • It's like Samsung Galaxy S III with new design, and a digicam back, Cool!

  • Amazing specifications!!! and the only doubt is,gaming is possible???

  • Looks more like a Android running Camera rather than a mobile phone :-) Nokia Competition...!

  • people will think your insane if you use this in calling. imagine a digicam in your ear.

  • Wide-angle 23mm lens

  • Nice camera. But what lenses is it using?

  • A normal PS cam will survive 250-400 shots roughly before battery flat-out. With this, your guess is as good as mine. I like the concept, a nice gadget but the battery is a big problem.

  • good cam!

  • I think Samsung wants to compete with Nokia pureview. but the fact is that the pureview is a complete mobile with all the features of connectivity n still has a better camera than Samsung's device.

  • I think Samsung wants to compete with Nokia pureview. but the fact is that the pureview is a complete mobile with all the features of connectivity n still has a better camera than Samsung's device.

  • gd idea of samsung....i wan to get one when this camera is start sell

  • It's not a phone. It's a camera. Can't you even read the specifications carefully?

  • extremely ugly and unpractial , it's as big as a camera . 808 Pureview beats the sh** out of it

  • still okay if we compare with Nokia 808 PureView battery which is only 1400 mAh..

  • a useless creation, y would anybody want to access office files, gps, and blah blah on a camera. We already have good cameras in mobile today.

  • Galaxy note 2 battery lifetime is much longer - 3100 mAh. I am very disappointed when saw the battery lifetime is only 1650 mAh, do not know how many times should charge the battery in a day since it's a camera phone. Anyway, I am excited to saw this camera phone, will purchase it if Samsung change a better spec for battery.

  • i.m waiting battle review of nokia 808, nokia lumia pureview ,sony xperia t , and galaxy camera.

  • it's not a phone!

  • It's awesome, but you would think it would be Amoled, phone, bigger battery, and more memory. Camera should be very nice though.

  • I think the battery is a fair enough battery... Might need a bigger one, but since it doesn't have to deal with always-on wireless for 3G or 4G or what-not... it should last a day with moderate use...

  • price and releace date

  • why does gsm arena include this on their list while ps vita is not? ps vita has a sim slot(okay not all)and this doesnt have any gsm function..i believe gsmarena should also include ps vita on sony's list.

  • not phone with camera its a cameraonly for the phone

  • do you even read the post before you comment? it's not a phone...

  • can this camera make calls? o.O

  • First company to make to allow phone calls on a device like will definitely be a race leader. S-Note/Pen and a Projector would put this device over the top. Thanks for this great product Samsung. Always on the look-out.... VIP

  • But I'm sure price will be also amazing as well as other Samsung products. Its known side effect of samsung, they doing great but expensive... However they are still better at anyrange than Apple...

  • Battery capacity fail. 1650mha with 3G and shot photos no more to 10 photos before to discharged

  • Nice camera. But what lenses is it using?

  • 3000 mAh battery wouldve be fine for this

  • i want it ,how much?if price under 1500$ i buy.

  • Stop complaining about the battery , its a standard battery for a device that is not a PHONE ! Think about it ... no calls , huge battery not needed

  • May be because it not phone, doesnt need a huge battery

  • are they serious.... 1650 mah battery on such camera phone..... this is a huge fail.

  • How much?

  • I was getting really excited about this device until I saw the spec of the battery. It will need recharging every 5 shots or so

  • Hey guys, do not forget the GPRS and EDGE!!!

  • Yeeesssss!!! Congratulations Samsung!!! This gaget should get a good market share for you! A very interesting device, with a bold conceptiond. Yes, this can be the new generation of smart phones. An powerful universal gaget! Good luck!

  • Holy Sh*T I Think Thats Not Cool At All

  • Oh Samsung why don't you make a super camera phone as you did in the past? You're able to do that. In 2006 you made a miracle with the B600 device!
