There is no word on pricing of the Polaroid Polalens accessory(ries) but it is looking line it is targeted at the iPhones and iPads if we are to go by our source.
With the huge focus most companies are paying to bring top notch cameras (both front and rear) to smartphones these days, Polaroid decided to join in the scene with an accessory of its own. However, the company needs to do more to gain more traction in the market.
The last we heard from the company was at the MWC 2015; when Polaroid announced four Android based Dual SIM smartphones – the Polaroid Phantom, Omega, Thunder and Cosmos. All four smartphones run Android 4.4 Kitkat OS.
