Ideally this is how all cameras’ Wi-Fi pairing connections should work.Īnother plus is greater support for devices. Turn the camera on, launch the app, and the two devices connect with no effort. With the same Galaxy S7 Edge we used to test the original Gear 360, the new one works seamlessly.
The app has also been enhanced: Not only is navigation easy, but also faster – much more responsive than the previous app (note: you have to download/update the new version of the app, which supports both versions of the Gear 360). Unlike the previous Gear 360, the new model pairs seamlessly with the phone and Gear 360 app.

The camera can function independently, but to share content in real-time, broadcast live, adjust settings, or see a live image, the Gear 360 supports dual-band Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and Bluetooth v4.1 for wireless connectivity to a smartphone.Īnd, it is here where Samsung has made the biggest improvement. Improved connectivity, greater (but still limited) support However, the camera stopped recording after 23 minutes, and refused to record immediately afterward –an issue with overheating. During a Facebook Live session, it did seem the camera was powered and charging (as much as we are aware). While it mentions that the camera can be used while charging, it also says it cannot charge while it’s recording a video.

Just for comparison, the battery in the new Galaxy S8 is rated 3,000mAh.Ĭan the camera be continuously powered? Samsung’s user manual gives conflicting information. It will be less at 4K: Shooting 21 minutes of video, the battery was down 40 percent, so expect a little under an hour of charge for about an hour of 4K footage. Samsung says the camera can record 130 minutes at 2,560 x 1,280 at 30 fps.

The resolution also applies to the 360-degree video single-lens resolution is Full HD, 1,920 x 1,080 pixels at 60 fps.Īs for power, the Gear 360 uses an internal 1,160mAh battery. Samsung is officially marketing the new Gear 360 as 4K (4,096 x 2,048 at 24 frames per second), although you shouldn’t expect the same image quality as a 4K TV. However, the images will look better than fine when viewed on a smartphone or in smaller sizes. However, with small sensor novelty cameras like this, it is a moot point whether it’s 8.4MP or 15MP (if using in single-lens mode, resolution is even lower, at 3MP) – nobody is going to print the images on large paper – because it’s all about the 360-degree effect than amazing images – for now, at least. But the old Gear 360 uses two 15-megapixel sensors, allowing you capture higher resolution specs. The strap is interesting: There is a rubber ring that you can sit the camera on top, providing a seat so that it doesn’t topple over when placed on a surface.Īs for the camera, the Gear 360 uses two 8.4-megapixel CMOS sensors and two wide-angle (195 degrees), f/2.2 lenses – total output is equivalent to 15 megapixels. On the bottom is a tripod mount, as well as a place to attach the included strap. On the front are the shutter/record button and a small display that shows battery level, mode, and space or time left on the card. On one side you’ll find Power/Back button and Connection/Settings button, while on the other side there are the MicroSD card tray (up to 256GB) and USB Type-C port (USB 2.0) for data transfer and charging. It still looks funky, but it is much easier to hold than the previous Gear 360. It’s solidly built, and can withstand dust and splashes. The Gear 360 measures approximately 4 x 2 x 1.8 inches, and weighs 4.6 ounces. It’s also smaller and lighter than the old model. Like its predecessor, it still looks funky, but the body handle is much easier to hold than the removable mini tripod that doubles as an uncomfortable grip. It is permanently attached to a slim body that serves as a handle. The Gear 360 retains the design spirit of the old Gear 360: an eyeball-shaped unit with two wide-angle lenses on either side. Update: Samsung announced that the new Gear 360 will be released on May 25, for $230. Still, it’s one of the more fun 360-degree cameras we’ve used.

With this new camera, Samsung is taking a bath, but hardware limitations and nascent software and platforms for viewing, keep it from making a splash. In many ways, the first Gear 360 felt like an experiment – Samsung dipping its toes into the water. The second-generation of the company’s 360-degree camera improves on its predecessor in numerous ways: it has a new design that’s easier to use, broader support for smartphones, live broadcasting to YouTube and Facebook, and faster connectivity. Thankfully, Samsung’s Gear 360 didn’t need a third try. If you first don’t succeed, try, try again.
