Create pocket-sized instant photographs with the Polaroid Go Generation 3 Instant Film Camera White, featuring a compact analogue design, upgraded lens and improved flash performance.
Polaroid Go Generation 3 Instant Film Camera White Summary
The Polaroid Go Generation 3 Instant Film Camera White brings instant photography into a compact format that is easy to take almost anywhere. Using Polaroid Go film, it creates small analogue prints while retaining the familiar Polaroid shooting experience, complete with physical photographs that develop in front of you.
Its simple controls make it accessible to first-time instant film camera users, while creative features such as double exposure mode, a selfie mirror and self-timer provide additional shooting options. The White finish gives the camera a clean, classic appearance that reflects Polaroid’s traditional design language. Once your photographs have developed, they can also be scanned through the Polaroid app for convenient digital sharing and archiving.
Overview and Key Improvements
Generation 3 introduces several hardware updates over the previous Polaroid Go camera. The new lens provides a tighter 42mm equivalent field of view compared to the 34mm equivalent lens found on Generation 2, creating a more natural perspective for portraits and selfies. The lens assembly also sits deeper within the camera body to help reduce glare when shooting in bright conditions.
Polaroid has increased the maximum shutter speed from 1/300 sec to 1/500 sec and upgraded the built-in flash for improved results across a wider range of lighting situations. Generation 3 is also available in new colour options, including this Purple version.

Polaroid Go Generation 3 Instant Film Camera White In More Detail
Pocket-Sized Instant Photography
The Polaroid Go Generation 3 is considerably smaller than Polaroid’s larger instant cameras while maintaining the familiar analogue shooting experience. Its compact dimensions make it easy to carry regularly, whether travelling, attending events or documenting everyday moments.
What Changed In Generation 3?
Generation 3 introduces updates to both the lens and flash system. The new 42mm equivalent lens provides a slightly narrower field of view than the previous model, creating a more natural perspective for portraits and selfies. The lens is also recessed further into the body to help reduce glare in bright conditions. Polaroid has paired these changes with a stronger flash and a faster maximum shutter speed of 1/500 sec, providing greater flexibility across a wider range of lighting situations.
Film Compatibility
The camera is compatible exclusively with Polaroid Go film. Buyers should note that it does not use Polaroid i-Type or 600 film. The smaller print size is part of the Go system’s appeal, allowing the camera itself to remain genuinely pocket-sized while producing physical instant photographs.
