The new Gear 360 is equipped with two CMOS 8.4 megapixel fisheye cameras. But the battery is smaller, at 1,160 mAh compared to 1,350 mAh before. The upgraded version is lighter too, weighing 4.58 ounces (130 grams) versus 5.39 ounces (153 grams). Samsung has also done away with the accompanying mini-tripod, instead providing a “body” that helps it stand up easily, along with a tether for added safety.
Its slimmer form factor, now similar to the Ricoh Theta, makes it easier to grip and less conspicuous when used out in public.
Unlike the first generation which had a few quirks, the latest iteration no longer takes the shape of a baseball. A competitor to the Ricoh Theta, 360fly, I-mmersive’s Veye, and Kodak’s SP360, the Samsung Gear 360 isn’t necessarily geared towards hardcore professionals - rather those who want to show a comprehensive view of what’s going on, be it a sporting event, family gathering, or destination.
