Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
Does the Polaroid Go Gen 2 take good photos?
Buyers rate photo quality at 1.5 out of 5, which is the lowest mark the camera receives. Poor image quality is a consistent complaint among owners.
Does it come with film?
No. The camera ships without any film included, which buyers find frustrating given the high cost of film—a 16-pack costs around $21. Owners say they expected at least one pack to come with the purchase.
Is the Polaroid Go Gen 2 worth the price?

What does the Polaroid Go Gen 2 do well?
Buyers rate design and aesthetics at 4 out of 5—the retro Polaroid look is the camera's strongest point. It's also small and portable, which is why AI rankings emphasize its pocket-sized, ultra-compact form factor.
Who should buy the Polaroid Go Gen 2?
It suits buyers who prioritize vintage aesthetics and portability over image quality and low running costs. If you care most about how a camera looks and can accept poor photos and high film expenses, it may appeal to you.
