Samsung Gear 360 VR camera launches April 29 in ‘select countries’, US not included

Posted on April 28, 2016 by Adrian Diaconescu

Virtual reality is arguably the future of tech, although it’s hard to believe VR headsets, goggles, cameras and other gadgets of the sort will indeed surpass smartphones in mainstream popularity in four years, as an HTC official recently predicted.For the time being, it’s all about baby steps, and actually getting the few high-profile “immersive” products so far unveiled in the hands and on the heads of early adopters.

Samsung Gear 360 goes up for pre-orders in Korea, gets priced at €350 in Europe

Posted on April 21, 2016 by Adrian Diaconescu

Samsung wasn’t keen to fully clear the air regarding the US price tag and release date of the Gear 360 spherical VR camera when denying it would cost $350, and in the meantime, third-party retailer B&H has backpedaled on its educated guess as well.Elsewhere however, things couldn’t be clearer, at least in terms of retail pricing, and $350 still feels like a solid theory for American availability. On Korean shores, ...

We get it. Samsung Pay is a good thing, technology-wise. VR is a great thing. But we have major doubts as to why the two should be combined.That’s what Samsung Pay Europe chief Natalie Oestmann floated out during the Money20/20 conference in Copenhagen while talking about the spreading success of the mobile payments system. It’s been about eight months since the

Samsung may already be teasing the rumored Gear 360 panoramic VR camera

Posted on February 16, 2016 by Stephen Schenck

With MWC so close over the horizon, and some of its big flagship devices having leaked as thoroughly as they have, it’s easy to start getting a little cynical: why look forward to the expo when we already know what we’re getting? But that would be a foolish position to take, and for as much as we may think we know about the new hardware about to make its debut, we’re nearly ...

Posted on February 4, 2016 by Stephen Schenck

With under three weeks to go until MWC 2016 kicks off, interest in the show is heating up fast, especially as companies like LG confirm plans to launch long-rumored flagship phones. Beyond LG, we’re also extremely interested in what Samsung’s got coming our way at its Unpacked event, and even if Samsung’s not yet ready to go the LG route and outright tell us what’s on the menu (*cough* GS7 *cough*) there have been more than enough rumors to hold us over. One of those rumors concerned a possible ...

All too often, when we’re looking at new forms of content on our phones, we find ourselves with a chicken-and-the-egg problem: maybe you’ve got a 4K camera on your phone, but chances are it doesn’t also have a 4K screen. We saw something like this back in the day for that hot minute when phones with autostereoscopic 3D displays were a thing, and now we’re facing a similar problem with the rise of VR ...
