Some of us may recall the camera company Polaroid demonstrating a device at CES last year, the Polaroid sc1630 that had Android 2.3 experience.

Moving ahead, Polaroid is set to announce an Android 4.0 powered interchangeable lens camera at the CES 2013 trade show. Imaging resource has written an article in which Scott Hardy, President and CEO of Polaroid, has confirmed the upcoming announcement. While Scott had commented that, “Additional information and specs will be released during the show”, a product image on a Russian social media site reportedly leaked the specs.

According to the rumors, the camera will be called the IM1836 and will be manufactured for Polaroid by Sakar. With a hardware design that closely resembles a Nikon 1 J series camera, the Polaroid IM1836 is said to feature an 18.1-megapixel sensor with an interchangeable mirrorless lens system. The backside will host a 3.5-inch touchscreen and the camera will offer HDMI output, Wi-Fi connection, and a pop-up flash.

Even so, Polaroid thinks simply going with a mirrorless interchangeable lens format will give the Polaroid Android camera an edge against other Android cameras like the Samsung Galaxy Camera and the Nikon S800c.

Well, we will have to wait and watch for that!
