Polaroid Go Gen 2 review
What’s cookin’ good lookin’ the go gen 2 is a powerful little camera that takes superb photos.
Tom's Guide Verdict
The Polaroid Go Gen 2 is a cute, portable, easy-to-use camera that improves on the first-gen model. It introduces a new double exposure mode for creative shots, comes with a self-timer and selfie mirror, and boasts a good battery life. However, it doesn’t perform great in low-light conditions, doesn’t have a macro mode, and the film is relatively expensive.

I love a good instant camera. A warm fuzzy feeling consumes me when I hold a physical print in my hand. Limited by the films I have left in the pack, I’m more thoughtful about the shot. With a phone, you take a photo and it finds itself swimming around with thousands of others. So when the opportunity arose to test the Polaroid Go Gen 2, I was over the moon.
The Polaroid Go Gen 2 succeeds the original Go, which came out in 2021, and Polaroid claims it’s the world’s smallest instant camera. Compact and premium-looking, you can slip the Go Gen 2 into your pocket and go about your day. The camera really shines outdoors, delivering bright and detailed images with a retro touch. With the addition of a double exposure mode which was missing from the first-gen model, you can truly exercise your creativity with the Go Gen 2. Easy-to-use with only a few buttons, this little beauty can be used by anyone, even someone who isn’t well-versed with the semantics of photography.
Does it have what it takes to be one of the best instant cameras ? For the full breakdown, read our Polaroid Go Gen 2 review.
Polaroid Go Gen 2 review: Cheat sheet
- What is it? The world’s smallest instant camera (according to Polaroid) with a large aperture range, a selfie mirror, self-timer and double exposure, for retro-looking film photos.
- Who is it for? Anyone and everyone who doesn’t want to spend a lot on an instant camera to capture great photos.
- How much does it cost? The Polaroid Go Gen 2 is available from $79 / £79 .
- How is the user experience? Outstanding. The camera is super easy to use, very portable, and the images come out bright and detailed.
- Anything missing? There’s no macro mode, and better low-light performance would’ve been nice.
Polaroid Go Gen 2 review: Price & availability
The Polaroid Go Gen 2 launched in Spring 2024 and costs $79 / £79 (camera only). You can also get the Starter Set which includes 16 films for $99 / £94 . Polaroid’s latest offering comes in four colors: black, white, red, and blue.
Polaroid Go Gen 2 review: Design & build quality
The Polaroid Go Gen 2 is a cute camera, and my friends said the same when they first saw it. It’s made of 30% recycled materials and the outer shell is made out of polycarbonate and ABS plastic. Polaroid fondly calls it “take anywhere-able”, and weighing only 8.43 ounces (without a film pack), that really rings true. As it measures 4.13 x 3.3 x 2.44 inches, the camera is easy to hold, even if you have small hands.
Minimalistically designed, the blue model I tested looks great, and the classic rainbow stripe logo above the lens adds a nice touch. The colorway also has some shiny material imbued into it, which gives the camera a classy, premium sheen.
Polaroid Go Gen 2 review: Lens & viewfinder
Now for the techy bit. The Polaroid Go Gen 2 has a fixed focus lens with a focal length of 51.1mm, giving a versatile standard field of view that’s neither too wide nor telephoto. Since you don’t need to adjust the focal length, you can just point, look through the viewfinder and shoot. The viewfinder is small but I found it easy to use. I wear glasses all the time but looking through the viewfinder wasn’t uncomfortable at any point.
The Go Gen 2 also has an aperture range of f/9 to f/42 versus f/12 to f/56 on the first-gen camera — the wider f/9 maximum aperture lets in more light which helps the camera achieve brighter exposures without flash. It has a maximum shutter speed of 1/300 second, which is also faster than the Go (1/125 sec) and will allow you to capture sharper photos of moving subjects.
Next to the lens and on the other side of the viewfinder, you’ll find the selfie mirror. In testing, I found that the selfie mirror shows faces closer than how they appear in the printed photo, which is useful because, this way, you won’t accidentally cut body parts out of the frame.
For group selfies (right shot above), though, you’ll want to stretch your arm out as much as you can to capture everyone. Overall, the Go Gen 2 has a well thought out design that prioritizes user experience and comfort.
Polaroid Go Gen 2 review: Controls
Much like the first-gen camera, the Polaroid Go Gen 2 is designed to be held with your thumb(s) on the bottom and index finger on the shutter button. Holding and using it with one hand was just as comfortable as using both my hands. It features only 3 buttons: a flash button located next to the shutter button on the top, and a power button next to the tiny LED screen which indicates how many films you have left and the flash settings. All buttons feel tactile.
The flash button also doubles (and triples) as the self-timer and double exposure button. Keep it pressed for a few seconds and you’ll activate the self-timer which has a 9-second countdown. Press it twice and you’ll enter double exposure mode — here, the LED screen will flash 1 and 2 to indicate which shot you have left, which is handy.
This instant camera reacts quickly when any button is pressed. It’ll turn on within a second when the power button is pressed, so you never have to worry about missing a shot just because the camera is taking a while to power up. Similarly, the shutter button doesn’t need a lot of force to depress, but isn’t light enough to encourage accidental shots.
Polaroid Go Gen 2 review: Image & print quality
The Polaroid Go Gen 2 does not boast any fancy shooting capabilities. The most you get is being able to shoot double exposure images — for more creative control consider the Fujifilm Instax mini 99 . But even being able to shoot just straightforward shots, I adored using the Go Gen 2 out and about on the streets of Bath — one of the U.K.’s most picturesque cities — and to photograph my friends.
It’s just my luck that the week I was testing the Go Gen 2 was overcast with barely any sunshine. Regardless, I was pleased that the photos taken during the day still came out detailed and looked well-lit while maintaining a retro aesthetic — one I describe as Lana Del Rey-esque. Polaroid recommends disabling the flash in bright conditions. The flash has a range of 2 meters so it has no effect on distant objects, such as buildings or trees, but it works like a dream when you’re photographing people.
Not every print turned out the way I envisioned, but that’s what I love most about using instant cameras. This was especially true in the case of double exposure shots. I tried it two ways: shooting a painting first and then a person (as seen in the left shot above), and vice versa (middle shot above). I was surprised at how much I liked the way the second turned out — it looked quite artistic and abstract, proving you can get a lot of enjoyment out of this new feature. The unpredictability of double exposure shots makes it even more fun, as can be seen from one of my “failed” prints (right shot above) where I was trying to get a funky photo of my hands moving.
In my testing, I found that some images shot on the Go Gen 2 were a bit overexposed. Technically correct exposures aren’t everything and they don’t matter as much considering the overexposed images suit the Polaroid Go film (right shot above). While bits of the photo will start to appear a couple of minutes after shooting, the prints take around 15 minutes to fully develop. Polaroid recommends either keeping them in a dark place or facing down, so I did both together, and I’d personally recommend leaving them alone for 20 minutes to bring out all the details.
However, the Go Gen 2 comes up short when you’re shooting in low-light conditions; the photos didn’t turn out as detailed after dark, but most instant cameras aren’t built specifically for low-light photography. When I shot Bath Abbey at night (middle shot above), the photo had a haunting look to it. My first instant camera was the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 and it performed terribly in the dark, so I wasn’t expecting the Go Gen 2 to do wonders.
There’s also no dedicated macro mode so shooting up close takes a bit of trial and error, like the flowers in the middle shot above.
Polaroid Go Gen 2 review: App
The Polaroid app on Android and iOS is not designed for the Go Gen 2 (as the camera lacks Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity) but you can still use it to scan your prints. I don’t own a scanner so this is a great option if you don’t either. All the photos in this review were scanned using the Polaroid app on my Google Pixel 7 Pro .
Polaroid Go Gen 2 review: Film cost & yield
The Polaroid Go Gen 2 uses Polaroid Go Color film packs, which generally cost about $19 / £18 per double film pack (16 pieces of film) — so you’re paying $1.12 per picture. Polaroid film is usually more expensive than Instax film. For context, an Instax mini double film pack containing 20 pieces of film costs $13 / £14 .
Polaroid Go Gen 2 review: Battery life
The Go Gen 2 has a built-in lithium-ion battery, and Polaroid says a full charge should be enough for 15 shots. However, I found that a single charge lasted for 18 shots, exceeding expectations.
Unlike the Go which had a Micro USB port for charging, the second-gen uses USB-C. It takes just under 30 minutes to go from zero to 100% using a 30W charger.
Polaroid Go Gen 2 review: Verdict
The Polaroid Go Gen 2 is the cutest and most user-friendly camera I’ve shot with, and there’s so much to like about it. It looks and feels premium, and easily slips into your pocket or handbag. Comfortable to hold and use with either one hand or two, the Go Gen 2 is the perfect travel companion, ideal for even those who aren’t familiar with the techy side of photography. It also allows you to be creative, thanks to the new double exposure mode, selfie mirror and self-timer.
But if you want an instant camera that performs even in low-light conditions, you should consider the Fujifilm Instax mini 40 ($99) instead. The Go Gen 2 also doesn’t feature a macro mode which the $79 Fujifilm Instax mini 12 does. Although, unlike the Mini 12, it has a dedicated double exposure mode and a self-timer. You could also dish out more money and settle for the Fujifilm Instax mini 99 ($199) if you want more exposure compensation controls, double exposures, a macro mode and creative color filters, but that camera doesn’t have a selfie mirror like the Go Gen 2.
I, for one, can’t wait to get myself a Polaroid Go camera case ( $24 / £22 ) so I can keep the adorable Go Gen 2 safe and scratch-free on my travels, and keep capturing as many memories as I can, retro-style.

Polaroid Go, The World’s Most Portable Analog Camera, Comes in Two New Colorways with Bold Accessories
This april, polaroid is adding to the fan-favorite polaroid go family two dynamic colorways, colored filters, and arthouse-style black instant film..
New York, NY - April 26, 2022 - Polaroid Go , the world’s tiniest, most portable analog instant camera, is pushing the boundaries of where you can ‘Go Create.’
This year, Polaroid is celebrating more ways to be creative on-the-go by releasing the pocket-sized camera in two bold colorways, Black and Red, along with new creator-centric additions: a filter set for blue, red or orange-tinted photos, and matte-black frame instant film for drama that kicks.
“ The Polaroid Go has portability and the spirit of exploration in its DNA. We’ve seen an incredible response for this new camera format so we wanted to introduce even more ways for people to dive deeper into their creativity, while making it easy for them to go anywhere and capture whenever inspiration hits ,” Oskar Smolokowski, Polaroid CEO, said.
At only 4.1” long, 3.3” wide, and 2.4” tall, the Polaroid Go is the smallest analog instant camera in the world. Designed as a wearable creative companion, the Polaroid Go empowers creators to go out and explore the secret, imperfect, and unexpected places in the world.
To celebrate the launch of Polaroid Go Black and Red, Polaroid kicks off the campaign in May with creativity and exploration at its heart. An evolution of last year’s Go Create campaign, 2022’s iteration brings together creators across artistic disciplines and cultures. Ibby Njoya, an artist and set designer, and Miranda Makaroff, a fashion designer, dj, blogger and actress, traveled to Tenerife, Spain to show off their creative visions on the rugged island.
“ For me, Polaroid has always been a tool of documentation and experimentation. As an artist, it’s allowed me to process the development of my skills as a set designer. Getting to experiment with the Polaroid Go’s portability during our shoot in the Canary Islands was so fun, I love how easy it is to bring it everywhere ,” Njoya said.
The new colorways join the original Polaroid Go white camera, providing more opportunity for self expression wherever the next adventure leads. The Polaroid Go builds on its creative-minded features like the selfie mirror, self-timer, long-lasting battery, dynamic flash, double exposure, and travel-friendly accessories with the introduction of the camera’s first-ever lens filters and the smallest black frame instant film.
“ I love the new possibilities that the Polaroid Go creates. It makes it so easy to capture inspiration wherever I travel, which plays a big part into my creative process as an artist ,” Makaroff said.
Polaroid Go Black and Polaroid Go Red are available April 26 at Polaroid.com/Go .
Polaroid Go Black Camera MSRP: $99.99 / €119,99 / £109,99
Polaroid Go Black Film Double Pack MSRP: $19.99 / €19,99 / £18,99

About Polaroid
Polaroid was founded in 1937 by Edwin Land as an icon of innovation and engineering. The company’s launch of the Polaroid Land camera in 1947, which marked the genesis of instant photography, and subsequent introduction of the breakthrough Polaroid SX-70 camera in 1972 and many others, would firmly cement Polaroid’s standing as a technological pioneer and cultural phenomenon during its peak. However, at the turn of the century, the company would be faced with new realities surrounding digital technology’s swift rise and ceased the production of instant film in 2008. But that was short-lived; a dedicated group of instant photography fans would save the last Polaroid factory in the Netherlands under the name ‘The Impossible Project,’ paving way for the eventual rebirth of the original ‘Polaroid’ brand in the years following.
Today, Polaroid is in pursuit of unlocking the beauty in everyday life with instant photography tools that empower creators across the globe to capture meaningful moments. With recent introductions like the world’s smallest instant camera, the Polaroid Go camera, and the world’s first instant camera with built-in manual controls, the Polaroid I-2 camera, the company that we have come to know and love for over 80 years is rooted back in the spirit of analog innovation for the modern age.
