It's not on par with footage shot by professional rigs used by companies like NextVR or Jaunt, but it's a start. One particular test video - footage shot by the Gear 360 from the top of a massive ski jump - even looked good inside of a GearVR. The camera shoots 30-megapixel spherical photos and 3840 x 1920 video, and both looked clear when we viewed them on the S7 demo unit that we had a few minutes to play around with. The rest of the picture looked quite good, too. If the subject you're shooting is at least a few steps away from the camera, though, the stitching looks solid.
The image quality looks great for its size, but the stitching is still noticeableĪnother similarity to cameras like the Ricoh Theta S is that the Gear 360's image stitching algorithm falls apart a bit when subjects get too close to the camera, something that was visible during a brief demo last week in New York.

If you want a Gear 360 but don't own a Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge, you will be able to download a PC-only app to handle the stitching. The new Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are the only phones that can do this with the Gear 360 right now - Samsung says the camera will also be compatible with "select Samsung smartphones," but the company wouldn't say which ones, or whether the Gear 360 will ever work with anything other than a Samsung phone. Like most cameras that shoot in 360 degrees, you need to pull the files off the Gear 360 and use a companion app to do that stitching.

Each of the opposing f2.0 lenses has an extremely wide 195-degree field of view, and the resulting 15 degrees of overlap helps the software stitch the two images together. The internals of the Gear 360 work similarly to other dual-lens 360-degree cameras that are on (or are about to reach) the market. The camera is only splash-proof and dust resistant, though, so don't expect it to take a beating.
There's also a slot for the microSD card (up to 128GB supported) and a swappable battery, both of which are hidden behind a small door. The Gear 360 is mostly featureless on the outside, with just menu, record, and power buttons and a tiny monochrome PMOLED screen dotting the white plastic finish. (Let's just say it - it looks like an eyeball.) The bottom of the camera is flat, so it can rest on most surfaces, and it also features a standard tripod mount.
The Gear 360 is a tiny, double-lensed sphere of a camera that's supposed to make shooting and sharing 360-degree photos and videos easy and approachable. The camera was announced alongside the reveal of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge this evening at the company's Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona, and it will be available in the second quarter of this year. Samsung is entering the nascent 360-degree imaging market with a new camera called the Gear 360.
