The Polaroid Go features different modes for different styles of photos. The battery-saving feature is a huge bonus. This way you’ll be able to save the battery and not have it run out after a quick period of time. You’ll need to bring your own wall plug, though, as one is not included in the box.Īnother great feature is that it will automatically shut off after a few minutes of inactivity. And when it comes to charging the Go, you can use the included USB-A to Micro USB cable for 0% to 100% in just under two hours. We didn’t shoot through 15 packs of film, but between using the camera here and there throughout two weeks we didn’t have to recharge. And in our testing over several weeks we found that to be accurate.

Polaroid promises that a full charge on the Go is enough to last through 15 film packs. You’ll need to purchase a pack or two, like this double pack with 16 prints for $19.99. The Polaroid Go doesn’t come with any paper out of the box, which was disappointing, but on par with other analog and film camera options. You should do this while the camera is on, since once you’ve shut the film tray the exposure protection will be released and you’re ready to start capturing photos. Polaroid’s design is smart here, with graphics that guide you in, and the film-loading experience is much easier than on the Now+. You’ll then find the film tray and can slide in a film pack - just make sure you line it up properly. Loading film into the Go was as simple as hitting a button and having the bottom of the camera up. The key piece of any instant print camera would be the film to print the image in. So yes, the basics are covered here and the only really missing modes - like aperture mode, tripod mode and light painting - are reserved for a higher-price unit like the Now+. And switching between those modes is all done with a large red shutter button and flash control switch on the front. You’re able to shoot in modes like double exposure, selfie and timer and of course standard point and shoot. To be precise, it measures in at 4.1 inches by 3.3 inches by 2.4 inches and is similar in size to a grapefruit. It’s pretty pint-size in that you can fit it comfortably in your hand, but it also doesn’t lack a long roster of ways to shoot. Like the Polaroid Now+, the Go, while housing all its features in a smaller build, looks like a classic camera from the brand. The price tag on the Go is slightly higher than that of the Instax, but we feel the difference is justified by the additional features. The small film prints of the Instax paired with the photography features like double exposure and timer capabilities of the Now+ are brought together in this mini camera.

How it compares: The Go is smaller than the Fujifilm Instax Mini ($61.77, originally $69.95 ) and Polaroid Now+ ($149.99 ), but you get a solid combination of features that you’d get from the larger options. Another bonus is that the camera will turn off after a period of inactivity to save battery life. A battery charge takes about two hours and will last you through 15 packs of film. The Go isn’t pocket-size at 4.1 inches by 3.3 inches by 2.4 inches, but it works well in a bag. What you need to know: As the smallest camera in Polaroid’s lineup, the Go had no problem traveling with us in a purse, backpack or tote. You can get away with simple point-and-snap photos but can also take advantage of settings like double exposure and a self timer.

Who it’s for: The Go is a great option if you’re looking for a highly portable analog camera.
