Samsung announces new Wi-Fi only Galaxy Camera

Samsung has decided that the world does need a Wi-Fi only version of the Galaxy Camera. All the specs seem to line up with the current model that you can buy except without the LTE and HSPA+ support or the need for a carrier data plan. Even their press release states the same thing.  With the removal of the carrier need technology, it should bring the price of the camera down quite a bit. Samsung didn’t mention pricing or a launch date just yet.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd today launched the Samsung GALAXY Camera (Wi-Fi), the newest addition to the

GALAXY Camera lineup. Like the original GALAXY Camera, the GALAXY Camera (Wi-Fi) combines high performance

photographic features with Androidâ„¢ 4.1 (Jelly Bean) OS and dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity, making shooting, enjoying,

editing and sharing images from a single device easier than ever before.

• The GALAXY Camera (Wi-Fi) has all of the innovative and practical features that the GALAXY Camera offers but without a

3G/4G connection. This makes the GALAXY Camera (Wi-Fi) more affordable for a user who does not need the always-

connected benefit of the GALAXY Camera. With the GALAXY Camera (Wi-Fi), users can use the dual-band Wi-Fi

technology embedded in the device to share photos with family and friends through email, social networks or mobile

communication services like Samsung ChatON right from the device, as well as enjoy the luxury of backing-up pictures

instantly to cloud services when connected.
