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. 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.

The Buying Guide

What to look at before you buy

01

Polaroid's smallest instant camera

Size & Portability

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

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

Image Quality & Features

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

USB-C rechargeable, 15 film packs per charge

Battery & Film Economy

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.
