Ahead of CES 2014 in Las Vegas, Samsung announces, finally, the next-gen Samsung Galaxy Camera II. This camera apparently succeeds on the success of the original Galaxy Camera. The one thing I immediately noticed with the Galaxy Camera II is it's width. Samsung has done a good job in actually making this camera thinner than what it succeeds. Design-wise, the GCam2 does not really go far away from it's older brother which is nice because we want this line of camera from Samsung a bit noticeable. Once you get to see that aesthetics, you'd immediately identify it as the GCam2. Like almost all of Samsung's announced devices, the Galaxy Camera 2 does not come with information regarding when and where this camera will be sold. But taking note of the original Galaxy Camera, expect this to be sold around the world.
As we all know, this camera will be running on Android and to be more specific it will be running on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean (the latest version of Android from Samsung). Of course, expect the specs too to be mind blowing since the last GCam did blew me away with it's specs. Since this is a successor, also expect that the camera's lens and whatnot are also improved. Without any further adeu, here are the specs.
