CES 2015: Polaroid introduces companion camera for smartphones

Polaroid introduced a new square-shaped compact camera at CES that is supposed to be a companion device for your smartphone. This point-and-shoot camera works with both Android and iOS devices. Your mobile devices work as both a remote viewfinder and storage for the images taken with the iZone. The idea behind this is to give you supposedly better quality images while still being able to share easily.

The iZone has an 18-megaixel image sensor with 8x optical zoom and just 32MB internal storage. It’ll connect to your smartphone or tablet over Wi-Fi. Once you are connected, it’ll send the images to your mobile device. The iZone can be used without an accompanying device but we don’t think that’ll last too long with the small internal storage.
