Named by judges as “Best Mobile Enabled Consumer Electronics Device”, the GALAXY Camera is the first truly Connected Camera, combining the photographic excellence of a quality compact camera with the connectivity and adaptability that comes with 3G/4G + Wi-Fi connectivity and the Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) operating system.
