Polaroid’s first Cube camera was a novel idea that lacked polish. To make its new Cube+ stand out, Polaroid is adding Wi-Fi and a smartphone app to the mix.
Outside of Wi-Fi and a new app, the Cube+ is a lot like the original Cube. Same 1080p video capture (the original can toggle between 720p and 1080p) and 35mm frame.
The announcement doesn’t note whether or not the Cube+ has the same 6 megapixel lens as its predecessor, but it keeps the same magnetic base for attaching the Cube+ to just about any metal surface.
The addition of Wi-Fi will make photo transfer much simpler, and allow for your phone to use the accompanying app as a viewfinder. Polaroid also says we’ll be able to edit, share, save or print photos and video from within the app.
