Samsung Galaxy NX: Android Goes Mirrorless for Way Too Much Money

Android was originally developed as a smartphone operating system. Since its humble version 1.5 "Cupcake" beginnings, Android has been modified for use in tablets, TV set-top boxes, micro-gaming consoles and more. In the last year, Samsung's been busy adapting Android for a different purpose: cameras.
For all the megapixels and low-light prowess of today's cameras, very few of them have Internet connectivity that rival the ease of use found on modern smartphones and tablets. The problem, it seems, is the user interface.
The Galaxy NX, as its name suggests, is essentially one of Samsung's Android-powered Galaxy smartphones grafted onto an interchangeable-lens camera body. If last year's Galaxy Camerawas Samsung's freshman debut, then the Galaxy NX can be considered its sophomore release.
