Samsung Gear 360 is a compact spherical camera capable of capturing 360 degree imagery using two 180 degree fisheye lenses. We can also shoot on 180 mode using only one lens. It will work with most recent Galaxy devices. But we can confirm now only the compatibility with Galaxy S7, because promo video of S7 shows a VR headset on it It can be paired with a Smartphone via Bluetooth, through the Gear 360 Connect application, we can expect a wi-fi connectivity also.
The Gear 360 (SM-C200) has its own battery, so it does not need to be connected to an external power source and it will have an on-board storage space to save the snaps and captures. the package includes the Gear 360 Gallery, and a seperate remote viewfinder application.
In the latter we find all the usual camera features: HDR, exposure control, white balance and ISO settings, a Liveview option, and the ability to switch between recording a 360 (dual lens) or 180 degree (single lens) front or rear view. Other view types include a mode called VR view, dual view, panoramic view, and time lapse and looping video. Maximum resolution seems to be 3840 x 1920 pixels when shooting in dual lens mode, or 1920 x 1920 pixels in single lens mode.
We could be able to stream the videos to any Galaxy devices at realtime, even to a device connected with a VR Headset. The price and availability of the camera is still remain unknown. But it could be lower than its opponents, as Gear VR headset costs less than others.
