I'm wondering about the Zeiss ZX1 which comes with Android. How upgradeable is the OS and what is the Android version for the camera?

Seems like this should take L mount lenses, but I guess Zeiss is not signed up for that.

I don't have an answer unfortunately. However, I'd hope it'd received more upgrades than any of the galaxy cameras including the NX, which received the grand total of zero OS updates. I've just seen the price of that Zeiss - ouch.

Could the Samsung NX be rooted to install newer Android?

Exactly. It's doubtful I would buy a $6000 fixed lens camera.

I'm not sure if it could be rooted and the hardware wasn't particularly good for the os as only supported 1080p despite 4k being on other samsung phones at the time.

Still, I kind of miss that camera..
