Feeling a little social lately? After three years of what it seems to be research and development for the product, Polaroid announced that its new Socialmatic camera will be available for purchase next year.
Polaroid’s newest camera, if you can actually see, is a living Instagram logo with the rounded square shape and the camera placed right at the middle, with streaks of colors painted horizontally. This represents Polaroid’s Socialmatic idea — bringing social media network instagram to life that started in 2012. Socialmatic shares pictures taken on the social network as well as print physical copies, just like the old Polaroid cameras did.
The new camera for the social-friendly will sport an LCD display at the back and will run at everyone’s friendly Android software, so you can install additional apps if you want to. It also has a built-in printer based on Polaroid’s own Zero Ink (ZINK) technology.

4.5-Inch Full Color LCD Touchscreen
