Our Take

Tiny camera, huge nostalgia hit—if you're ready for film.

A genuinely pocketable instant camera that charges via USB-C and lasts 15 film packs per charge.

At $79.99 (down from $89.99), it's the entry point to Polaroid; Go film packs (~$13–15 each) are the real cost over time.

Who it is forBest for people who actually *use* cameras—hybrid enthusiasts, travel snappers, gift-givers who want something tactile—not collectors or casual phone shutterbugs.

How We Judged It

What to check before you buy

01

Size & Portability

Polaroid's smallest instant camera

It actually fits in a jacket pocket or small bag without demanding space. That's the whole pitch, and the feature bullets confirm it—'fits in almost every bag, tote, pocket and pack.' Real appeal if you're tired of phone bloat.

02

Image Quality & Features

Large aperture range, precise light sensor, self-timer, double-exposure, built-in selfie mirror

Gen 2 made deliberate upgrades: better light handling and exposure logic mean your prints won't come out dark or blown. Double-exposure and self-timer are real creative tools, not gimmicks—they invite play. The selfie mirror is honest convenience, not a game-changer.

03

Battery & Film Economy

USB-C rechargeable, 15 film packs per charge

One charge spans a solid outing (15 packs = up to 90 photos, since Go film is pricey). USB-C means you can borrow a cable anywhere. Real win on practicality.

Good To Know

Straight from the listing

  • Wearable and take anywhere-able: As the Polaroid’s smallest instant camera, the Polaroid Go fits in almost every bag, tote, pocket and pack. So you can capture real life wherever, whenever.
  • Takes clearer, brighter, even nicer pictures: Thanks to the large aperture range, precise light sensor and on-point-exposure settings, the Polaroid Go Generation 2 image quality is better than ever.
  • Built-in selfie mirror: Say cheese to yourself in the Polaroid Go’s reflective viewfinder – aka ‘selfie mirror’.
  • Double-exposure and self-timer modes: Take photos so nice you shot them twice with double-exposure mode. Or set up the perfect self-portrait with the touch of the self timer button.

Context

Where this sits

Polaroid Go Gen 2 positions itself as the anti-smartphone camera: smaller than a deck of cards, no filters, no edits, just physical prints you hold.
