Polaroid re-enters PH market w/ smartphones & tablets

After their success in Europe and America, Polaroid now has its eyes set on our country and, together with RedDot Philippines, have unveiled a slew of competitively-priced Android-powered devices aimed at budget-conscious consumers.

Tablets and smartphones aren’t exactly the first products that will come into mind when you see or hear of Polaroid. Heck, you might not even know that they actually manufacture anything other than cameras and photography-related products until only recently when we previewed their latest offering that was displayed in this year’s CES. But times have changed since Polaroid’s hey-day in the camera scene, and they, like other companies, have realized the market potential of mobile computing devices such as smartphones and tablets.

Polaroid’s initial lineup consists of entry-level to mid-tier smart phone and tablets and a few feature phones. Here’s a look at their offerings which includes an overview of the devices’ specs and local price.

  1. Too late, Polaroid…

    Goodluck!

  2. LOL parang COBY lang

    Underspec’d, Overpriced

    Pipo and Cube are the BEST bang for buck tablets out there bar none

    Sa smartphone naman siyempre STARMOBILE….nyahahahahahahaha I kid I kid

  3. Mga hijo at hija

    kung bibili kayo ng CHINA tablet siguraduhin niyong ROCKCHIP SoC’s mga pinipili ninyo

    anything less than a ROCKCHIP is weak

    • Really? Anything less than a rockchip is weak? Haven’t you heard of Exynos 4? Some Chinese brand tablets are actually using Samsung’s chipset, and they fare better than Rockchip’s in actual usage. And how much is Starmobile paying you? CM and MyPhone are still better overall against SM. CM’s customer service is not the same all over the country; some may be bad, but in other places it is actually good. Their prices are definitely dealbreakers among local brands. MP’s customer service could be the best among local brands with their tie-up with Sony. They also don’t overprice that much. SM? Shorter lines in customer service? ‘Coz there are less people buying their gadgets. Most of their phones/tablets are way behind against SM and MP (except for the new ones, obviously). They are, what you say, “under-speced and overpriced.”

    • ^^^^

      Duh syempre yung Exynos 4 mas powerful sa Rockchip. Tama padin yung statement ni abu “Anything less than a Rockchip” (Exynos > Rockchip > Others) Magaangas ka na nga lang, paanga anga pa.

    • @adgjmptw

      WOW…kulang na lang sabihin mo SNAPDRAGON 800 at TEGRA 4 ah lmao

      magbasa mabuti : CHINA tablet

      CHINA ba yung Samsung na sinasabi mo? Ililibre kita ng Andoks kung makakapagsabi ka ng SoC na mas powerful sa Rockchip

    • @adgjmptw ikwento mo sa pagong

  4. @abuzalzal

    Oi kita ko mga comments mo dito sa site puro ka troll. And please read again what I said: CHINESE-BRAND TABLETS. Like the Ramos W42, which uses the Exynos 4412. I didn’t mention Tegra because even the dual-core Rockchip can easily outpace Tegra 3.

    • Ayy, mali…ni hindi man lang nanalo ang Exynos 4412 against sa Rockchip…at mas efficient pa sa power consumption

      that’s waht I call PWNAGE to the maxx

      ano say mo hijo?

    • way to go @abuzalzal guy \m/

  5. Antutu : Rkchp beats Exynos (16,755 vs 14,756)

    NBench : Rkchp beats Exynos (10,641 vs 9,182)

    GlBenchmark : Rkchp beats Exynos in ALL testings

    Power consumption : Rkchp beats Exynos 44 % vs 75%

  6. Sige pagpilitan mo din yan. Pakibasa ulit ng sinabi ko; “ACTUAL USAGE”. Are benchmarks basis for comparison? Yes definitely. Pero basahin mo yung ibang forums comparing both processors, and obviously they will say that the Rockchip will beat the Exynos in benchmarks BUT the Exynos produces better quality in ACTUAL USAGE. Analyze din konti hijo. Benchmarks are mere representations of the hardware, and should not ONLY be the basis for comparison between hardwares. Sige try mo i-explain yang benchmarks mo sa mga casual users kung maiiintindihan ba nila yan.

    • Benchmarks ACTUALLY give you the idea on how a chip would perform on real world use…that being said, Differences vary…from noticeable to negligible

      NGAYON, ignoramus ka na talaga kung ipagpilitan mong mas superior ang Exynos 4412 sa Rockchip which isn’t the case based from those benchmarks

    • Slow ka ba? O sadyang slow ka lang talaga? I said ACTUAL USAGE. Pinagpipilitan mo ng pa-ulit2 ang benchmarks, di ko naman kinokontra yan. That is already proven. What I meant is comparing them on ACTUAL USAGE or AKTWAL NA PAGGAMIT kung di mo naiintindihan ang ibig sabihin nun. ACTUAL PERFORMANCE of an Exynos-powered tablet is still BETTER SLIGHTLY than a Rockchip-powered tablet, owing to the fact na bago pa lang yang quadcore na Rockchip na SoC. Ikaw yata ang ignoramus e. And also, the benchmark difference between the two is EXPECTED, due to the fact na ang Exynos 4412 was released April 2012 pa while ang Rockchip RK3188 was just released last January 2013. Obviously, mas updated, e d syempre it will turn out better on tests.

    • haha wala PAHIYA ka lang sari-sari na palusot ginagawa mo…mag muni-muni ka nga at tingnan mo yung una mong post…then reflect

      LMAO

      Exynos? talaga? never heard of it lol

    • adgjmptw got PWNED into nothingness! Lulusot ka pa eh! Kainin mo yang Exynos mo! LOL

    • @abuzalzal

      Taena pakalat kalat comment neto san san.

      Mashado kang maraming alam, BUM siguro to, BUM! hahaha.

      Pusta ko, yung nauso Android at iOS saka lang nagkacell phone to! Cge Hirit! Unggoy! Hahaha.

  7. Polaroid (haha, the last four letters gets a piece of the Android name), they better stick to cameras. Why join the fray and scare away consumers with high-price + low-specs.

  8. Dapat pinaka selling point ng mga products nila eh yung camera sana. :D

  9. goodluck na lang dito.. to the fact na Red Dot na naman nagdala..hay nako migraine aabutin mo sa service center nila…

  10. @abuzalzal @adgjmptw

    Facundo! Sunugin ang dalawang to, nakakagulo sa lipunan. Parehong Nagdudunung- dunungan.

    At Facundo! Wag mag-iiwan ng bakas, gusto ko walang makaligtas!
