Polaroid says the update sharpens photos with a polycarbonate lens, boosts low-light output with a Xenon flash, preserves app-based scanning, retains familiar shooting controls, and keeps the camera pocket-friendly.

Overview

  • Polaroid announced the Polaroid Go Generation 3 as a new pocket-sized instant camera with a redesigned polycarbonate optic and an improved Xenon flash to improve image clarity and low-light performance.
  • The camera adds a wider, elongated viewfinder to make composition easier and keeps existing shooting modes such as self-timer and double exposure plus single-button flash control.
  • Polaroid offers the Go Gen 3 in five colors and says its rechargeable lithium-ion battery can power up to 15 film packs per charge, with a listed price of $89.99.
  • The Go Gen 3 pairs with the free Polaroid app to scan and share prints, and current coverage is based on manufacturer specifications with no independent performance verification yet reported.
  • The release continues Polaroid’s strategy of iterative hardware updates that blend analog prints with a digital workflow, positioning the camera as an accessible option for collectors and casual users.
