The well-priced Samsung Gear 360 produces some of the best spherical video you can get from a consumer-grade 360-degree camera at the moment. Easy to use on its own or with its full-featured mobile app. Can be used as a single-lens wide-angle video camera

The camera's app currently works on only select Samsung phones. The lenses can be easily scratched and replacements aren't available. Included editing software is Windows-only and editing without it is difficult at best. Transferring clips longer than a c
For all its quirks, the Gear 360 camera is a remarkable little gadget. Thanks to the great quality of the dual cameras, solid build quality and overall design, there's no denying that it's a gadget lover's dream – and it's perfect for quickly capturing im...
Works seamlessly with S7/S7 Edge, Gear VR, Captures good-quality 360-degree photos, videos, Bright f/2 lens, Solid, water-resistant construction, Easy to use
Only works with select Samsung phones, Misaligned stitching, Hefty, awkwardly round
If you find VR exciting and you happen to own (or are looking to buy) the S7/S7 Edge and Gear VR headset, you may want to consider owning the Gear 360 camera as well. Not only will you have the means to experience immersive 360-degree content provided t...

Easy to capture 360 photos and video, Big on, camera controls, Perfect for Gear VR
Not as pocketable as LG's camera, Not waterproof, Requires newer Samsung phone
Samsung's virtual reality ecosystem expands with this consumer-ready camera that takes 360 photos and video. It's best in the hands of Gear VR-owning creative types, though it's not quite as pocketable closest rival or waterproof...
The Gear 360 is a niche product, and one that's unlikely to get a lot of people excited. Yet it's a cute little camera that's not only pocket-friendly but also pretty powerful. The 4K 360 recording could lead to some impressive results, and the tight inte...
One of the big question marks hanging over virtual reality is about content. It's all well and good the headsets arriving in their droves this year, but we're going to need more and more content to watch and play when using them.The Samsung Gear 360 and d...
Tough build, but still looks slick, Decent battery life, Easy pairing and reconnection
Fussy compatibility, A bit too large for a pocket, Desktop software is Windows only
iSeeU Are two fisheye lenses as good a solution as a product such as Vuze (which has eight separate cameras)? Probably not, but then again, we doubt the Gear VR matches the Vuze's US$1000 price tag either. It's clear that Samsung wants to bring VR to as...
