Overview

The Polaroid Go Generation 2 builds on the appeal of its predecessor as the world's smallest analog instant camera, now with meaningful upgrades to image quality. A larger aperture range, more precise light sensor, and refined exposure settings work together to produce clearer, brighter photos with better color accuracy than the original Go. The camera retains its defining characteristic — an ultra-compact body measuring just 4.13 x 3.30 x 2.42 inches and weighing 11.3 ounces — that genuinely fits in a coat pocket or small crossbody bag, making it a camera you will actually carry every day.

Creative features include a double-exposure mode that layers two shots onto a single frame for artistic blended images, and a self-timer for group shots or carefully composed self-portraits using the front-facing selfie mirror. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery is rated to shoot through 15 film packs on a single charge, which is generous for an instant camera of this size. Polaroid has also incorporated 30% recycled materials into the camera's construction. The Go Gen 2 shoots exclusively on Polaroid Go film, which produces pocket-sized prints smaller than standard Polaroid formats — a deliberate design choice that matches the camera's miniature ethos but means you cannot use the more widely available i-Type or 600 film.

Key Features

Wearable and take anywhere-able: As the Polaroid’s smallest instant camera, the Polaroid Go fits in almost every bag, tote, pocket and pack. So you can capture real life wherever, whenever.

Takes clearer, brighter, even nicer pictures: Thanks to the large aperture range, precise light sensor and on-point-exposure settings, the Polaroid Go Generation 2 image quality is better than ever.

Built-in selfie mirror: Say cheese to yourself in the Polaroid Go’s reflective viewfinder – aka ‘selfie mirror’.

Double-exposure and self-timer modes: Take photos so nice you shot them twice with double-exposure mode. Or set up the perfect self-portrait with the touch of the self timer button.

Shoots pocketable Polaroid Go film and shoots 15 film packs with a single charge.
