Samsung’s 360° camera is all
about ease-of-use: pop it
into the rubberised base, tap
the idiot-proof big red button and
you’re away. The accompanying
app will help you line up shots,
while uploading new content
to social media takes just
a few quick taps. It also makes
a good job of stitching together
your footage to create 360°
panoramas, though, in our tests,
some darkening was visible
around the joins. For really
convincing results, we’d suggest
dropping the resolution and
selecting a higher frame rate.
