Samsung unveiled on Wednesday during the 2012 IFA conference in Berlin an Android-powered Galaxy Camera you can partially control with your voice.

The new device, which looks like a camera in the front and a smartphone in the back, runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and allows users to shoot, edit and share pictures with their social networks. But perhaps one of the most innovative features of the Galaxy Camera is its voice-control capabilities. You can tell the device to "zoom in" and "shoot" while snapping pictures.

Other specs include a 21x optical touch zoom lens, a 4.8-inch HD Super Clear LCD display and a bright 16M BSI CMOS sensor and a quad-core processor. The Galaxy Camera also enables connectivity through 3G and 4G.

�The Galaxy Camera opens a new visual communication era and shifts a paradigm in communication," said JK Shin, president of IT and Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics, in a statement. "As we increasingly articulate our experiences through pictures and videos, the Galaxy Camera has been created to lead the way in this new era of visual communication. Communication becomes more vivid and lively with high quality images and instant sharing anywhere, anytime."

The device is designed in part to make it easy for users to upload pictures to social networks, such as Facebook and Instagram, similar to the Android-powered model Nikon announced earlier in August. It's also possible to browse the web and access apps directly from the camera to help with the editing process.
