2560 x 1280 video resolution (3008 x 1504 with some smartphones).

3008 x 1504 (3K) still image resolution.

We got our hands on the latter version and have tried it out on the Huawei P10 and Motorola Moto Z Force. It only weighs 26.5 grams / ~1oz, comes with a protective rubber case and attaches to your phone either via the microUSB or USB Type-C port. It's capable of capturing still images and video, and comes with a live-streaming function.

All footage is recorded on a microSD card, which is located under the same flap as the battery and microUSB port (used for charging and data transfer to a computer).The Insta360 Air is a smartphone add-on that turns your Android device into a fully-fledged 360-degree VR camera.

Samsung was unable to confirm battery life at the time of writing, but IвЂ™ll update this article as soon as I have the information. ItвЂ™s replaceable, so you can carry a spare for prolonged shooting. Battery and storageДЄ 1,350mAh battery powers the Gear 360.

Samsung also has Windows software for people that donвЂ™t have the right Galaxy phone, although IвЂ™ve been told that the company is also considering writing Mac software.

This canвЂ™t be done by the Gear 360, so your phone has to do the grunt-work, which is why only the S6 and new Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge models are supported.

The video and still images that the cameras shoot have be stitched together to create the full panorama. Again, my full verdict will have to wait until I get a review sample in. Test footage, viewed through a Gear VR certainly looked impressive and thereвЂ™s nothing quite like the fully immersive feel that this kind of video gives you.

Video is recorded at a resolution of 3,840x1,920 again this is an improvement over the 1080p footage that the Ricoh Theta S shoots. This is an improvement in resolution over the 12-megapixel Ricoh Theta S, although I need to get the final camera in for review to find out how good the quality really is. Still images are captured at 30-megapixels (or 15-megapixels, if you use just one camera). While youвЂ™ll mostly want 360-degree video, you can also select to use only one of the cameras if you just want a 180-degree sweep. The tripod unscrews to reveal a standard 1/4in screw, so you can use it with a tripod or monopod of your choice. It feels tough and well made, while the neat fold-out tripod means that you can easily hold it for hand-held shots, or place it in a central location for shooting more stable footage. While the Theta S and LG 360 Cam kind of look like remote controls, the spherical white Gear 360 looks a lot cooler and its shape suits its purpose well. ThereвЂ™s no doubt in my mind as to which device is the better looking. Pre-order the Samsung Gear 360 now from Mobile Fun Build quality We'll have to wait and see how it performs once we get one in for review, but provided you have the right Samsung device, it's probably worth waiting for, as Samsung's device has plenty of extra features to help tempt would-be video makers away from its rival devices. It is, however, ВЈ100 more expensive than the LG 360 Cam, which might prove its undoing. We still don't know what day the Gear 360 will launch, but its price puts it on an equal playing field with the Theta S. The news comes courtesy of Mobile Fun, who's just opened pre-orders for the device. The Gear 360, on the other hand, is only compatible with the latest Samsung devices, which could be a tough sell now that it's finally been confirmed it will cost ВЈ300 to buy in the UK. It's also got to fend off LG's 360 Cam, which costs ВЈ200 and works with any Android or iOS device - not just LG's new G5В smartphone. The Gear VR goes up against the Ricoh Theta S, which impressed in our full review. This all changes withВ the launch of the Gear 360 VR camera, which lets you shoot full 360 degree video (horizontal and vertical for a full sphere) footage that you can view using a VR headset or as a moveable video in a supporting service, such as Facebook or YouTube. Until now, though, Samsung hasn't had a way of letting its VR users produce their own VR content very easily. You need a recent Samsung Galaxy smartphone in order to use it, but the headset itself costs just ВЈ70, making it a neat little accessory for new Galaxy S7 owners. SamsungвЂ™s been a big supporter of VR, as its Gear VR headset was one of the first virtual reality devices available to the public.
