Samsung has launched first compact Android Jelly Bean camera with 3G/4G and Wi-Fi connectivity and it’s one that you’d actually consider buying. This smart device has 16MP BSI CMOS compact camera and has 21x, 23-481mmm optical zoom at the front side with 4.8 inch touchscreen on the back side. Its runs on latest Android Jelly Bean and equipped with 1.4 GHz quad core processor. With the Galaxy Camera you will get the new UI that Samsung has exclusively designed for its Android Camera lineup. The New user interface contain a full reworked version of Camera app that has all sleek and detailed controls for camera features and settings. The Galaxy Camera is available in 2 versions with 3G and 4G connectivity, it means that you can upload all the photo to Dropbox, Facebook or other sharing and storing sites with the click of a button. Samsung definitely has the edge here with the Quad core processor, bigger screen and better connectivity.
Nikon S800c is the first Android powered camera. This device is equipped with Expeed C2 processor with Wi-Fi connectivity. On the front side it’s a 16MP BSI-CMOS compact camera with a 10x, 25-250mm lens built in and on the back side it has 3.5 inch OLED WVGA touchscreen with Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS. Nikon being a camera company and the processor in this camera is exclusively build for video and image processing. You will be getting Nikon’s Coolpix image engine. I believe that it will attract lots of users who are already impressed with the camera quality of Nikon.

As we know that every device has some pros and cons, so these both devices also have some pros and cons. Samsung Galaxy camera 4G comes with 16.3 megapixel camera with 4G connectivity and Nikon coolpix has S800c 16 megapixel camera with no 3G/4G connectivity. Galaxy camera has 20x optical zoom and Nikon coolpix has only 10x optical zoom. Galaxy camera has latest operating system that is Jelly bean and Nikon coolpix has Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Galaxy camera has 8 GB internal and also external card slot but Nikon has only 1.7 GB internal and external card slot. Samsung has 4.8 inch display and Nikon has 3.5 inch display, so here also Samsung wins.
This Android Camera seems to be infiltritating the tech world and we can expect companies like Cannon, Sony and LG jumping into it with their version of Android based camera devices
