Samsung Gear 360 Review

4 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE SAMSUNG GEAR 360

1) It’s cute, compact and oh-so-round


The Gear 360 is a ridiculously sweet-looking camera, with a bright white spherical design that looks almost like a tiny robot – think BB-8 from Star Wars – with an eye staring back at you. It’s light too, although completely the wrong shape for slinging into your pocket.

2) Plenty of tech inside

The Gear 360 is made up of two 16-megapixel fish-eye lenses, one on each end of the camera. Both have an f/2.0 aperture and are capable of capturing stills and videos. NFC is included for making an easy connection to your phone.

3) Works in conjunction with Gear VR

The only footage of the Gear 360 I was shown during the demo was inside a gear vr headset. The two products are designed to work together, so you can show off your recordings and 360-degree snaps right inside the VR headset.

4) Built for easy sharing

The Gear 360's coolest feature is just how easy it aims to makes sharing your captured footage. From the app, you can share straight to Facebook and YouTube – both of which support 360 videos – and even Google’s Street View.
