Reviewing the Polaroid Flip instant camera, which combines retro design with a bit of modern flair. Here’s an unboxing and hands-on test with the Polaroid Flip, showing off the features and photo abilities.
If you’re yearning for that classic point and shoot action with instant pics, this’ll certainly scratch that itch. The chonky design can fold up a bit more compact, although it’s still a proper brick like those retro snappers. And the Polaroid Flip takes standard I-Type and 600-Type film, which is rather expensive. Add that onto the £200 asking price, and shooting with this camera isn’t cheap.
Still, the photos coughed out of the Polaroid Flip have that distinctive retro vibe, and can be stuck on walls or in albums. That focus is fast to act and reliable, while you also have EV controls and double exposure. Plus you’ve got app support, to control the Polaroid Flip camera with your phone.
So what do you reckon, tempted by this retro gadget? Let us know below!

Bring back Instant Motion Film as well and with Sound.
200 quid?! flip indeed!
Good old Poloroid, the most expensive crappy image you can hold in your hand.
I have the impossible I 1 and the 1st gen Polaroid now this camera reminds me of the Polaroid one step my mom had with the flip up flash many memories were made with that camera she gave it to me when I was in highschool I used it until Polaroid went belly up I couldn't get film anymore so I think I'd like this new one
I absolutely love this. I am here for retro photography ❤
🧡
I was looking at the polaroid go . Its more of a budget option think they go for between 120 and 140
Polaroid Community: I just purchased my first Polaroid camera, the Polaroid Flip. Yeah!!! FYI, I connected my camera with the Polaroid app and noticed that there was a firmware update. The newest Flip update appears to be (version 1.0.5). I did the update and everything seems fine, no issues before, either. The curiosity sent me to the web to find out what the update entailed. No mention anywhere of what was addressed in the newest 1.0.5 release. Does anybody have the information? Thank you.
Polaroid says if you unscrew the rear case the battery is easily removable for replacing.
I wonder how this compares to the Kodak or Polaroid portable printers? I got the Kodak printer for my wife for Christmas and it's pretty cool. Can print 2×3 and 3×3 images in pretty decent quality via Bluetooth or cable from your phone.
Interesting that they didn't put in a digital sensor of some kind to function as a digital camera when no film is inserted.
oh my goodness your girl is adorable! I love your channel! and I need to pick up one of these Polaroids again. I had one in the 1980s.
A pack of 16 for a year seems like a good idea! Also it's been a while! The change of scenery was certainly something.
Batteries will be replaceable . According to Polaroid
i still have the original flips from the 90s, i guess i can start using them again. i just wished their film wasn't so expensive for only 8 shots
Sluggish dull and boring. Do more research baldy
I now demand see through tech be brought back too!
Please uncle spurt do a review on the honor magic 7 rsr , I love your videos 🤟✌
Polaroid is great but the films are so expensive! Instax is a lot more accessible and actually uses the old Polaroid formula.
Finally , you can now have a ‘ viewers wives ‘ section on your channel thanks to the Polaroid Flip …….
My kids will love it because it is right there, shoot photo … On the wall. My wallet won't like that 20 quid for sixteen photos though. Ah well the sprites are happy and it's a big chunky bit of kiit so they feel like they are doing something special
Loads of 660AF cameras around, enough for everyone. Basically the same camera but takes 600 film only and no phone connectivity. But who uses that anyway?
I'd be more tempted to buy an instant photo printer like a Canon Zink and hook it up to my phone. That way I can review the photo before I print it. Photos are only 2"x3" though, but half the price of a Polaroid.
Polaroid saying they're back doesn't make it so.
Haha I remember having one of these in the late 90s!😂. My mom took photos of us with the earlier version in the 80s 😂
One thing i found interesting – a lot of okd photos that my parents had were damaged but all the Polaroid photos were still intact even after 50-60 years. Don't know how but they just seem more durable
Finally tripod threads! You’re actually the first reviewer I’ve seen mention that surprisingly
Another reviewer met with the Polaroid team – the battery is easily replaceable through ifixit.
Love ola tech, specially photography
You've got to be kidding! 😂
Polaroid camera was cheap back in the day as the film was expensive. No USB cable or charger, the price is to high 😮
Smart phone pics always die with the phone and are lost forever… this is the main reason Polaroid is back and back big!! Love having physical photos… and will gladly fork out the cash for them
So a 200€ camera and a cost of roughly 1,5 to 2 € each print. For a lousy photo quality and a print life span of an old dog.
I'll stick with my Canon Selphy wireless Printer. 120€ and 0.25€ for each print. Top quality, 100 years print life and printing directly from my smartphone.
This is not the 70's anymore
Ah that legendary contrast and resolution free Polaroid picture quality. It was pointless in the 1970s and even less now.
What next, black and white TVs
Already have mine on order. It will go nicely with my collection. Yeah, I am that guy with all the models and no money for film…😂😂😂
way to expensive 🤔
Has it got Slo-Mo and macro, what pillock is gonna walk around with One of those? Around their neck.
Love Polaroid, but the film packs are too expensive and the quality of the photos in my experience aren't currently upto scratch compared to Instax, which are also cheaper!
That's a beautiful phone ❤❤❤❤
That's a beautiful song ❤❤❤❤❤
the pricing is WAY off… too expensive to consider
Actually you can replace the rechargeable battery on the Flip quite easily (as mentioned by a well known Instant Photography Youtuber).
Am older than you mate i had one in 1983 i used to take it to newcastle lol
Tempted, I love retro
Looks expensive
Err no thanks £200😂😂😂😂
How do you make phone calls on this flip😂
Overpriced and a complete waste of time.
