Android in cameras?

The Android system has long ceased to be limited only to smartphones. Now it is also present in portable players, tablets and even watches. In the future, we will also find it in compact cameras. Samsung and Panasonic are considering using Android as the main operating system for future digital cameras.

This is one of the options being considered by large corporations, but the issue of guarantees can stand in the way. Android is an open system, so companies are afraid that if it is shared with third parties, they risk voiding the warranty? after all, it is not known what the consumer will load into his camera. Another challenge is ensuring application compatibility with different optical systems and camera technologies. So there is no guarantee that everything will work as it should. The problems indicated by the manufacturers cannot be so serious. At this year's CES, Polaroid showed off its own 16-megapixel Android camera with WiFi/3G connectivity linked to social media. As you can see, it is possible to create a digital camera with Android. (techradar.com)
