Samsung's next Gear VR works with your old phone
The Galaxy Note 7 isn't likely to be the only treat at Samsung's August 2nd media event... and you may well be happy even if you have no intention of buying a new smartphone.Well-known tipster OnLeaks and French tech site Nowhereelse claim to have both a photo and details of the next Gear VR headset, and it's all good news if true.While the virtual reality gear will reportedly support the Note 7, which should have a USB-C port, it should still support Samsung flagship phones as far back as the Galaxy S6.And it could be a more immersive experience, too -- the new Gear supposedly has a wider 110-degree view versus the 96 degrees of its predecessor, so it'll feel less like you're staring through a porthole.
Samsung's Gear S3 is reportedly coming in early September
The unveiling of Samsung's next Gear smartwatch may be just around the corner.SamMobile is reporting that Samsung has plans to unveil the Gear S3 at this year's IFA, a major trade show in Berlin that begins September 2nd.That'd make sense — the timing lines up with what Samsung did in 2015, unveiling the Gear S2 just days ahead of the conference.Last year, Samsung also teased the Gear S2's announcement after introducing a new Note in August; if it continues that pattern, it means we could see something as early as next week.
Samsung's Gear 360 is the VR video camera for the masses
Samsung's Gear 360 gets all the basics right for a consumer 360 camera.It's small, easy to use (for capturing and editing), the video quality is good (for a first-generation model) and it's affordably priced at $349.99.SEE ALSO: Ball-shaped Samsung Gear 360 makes it easy to record your own VR videosThe Gear 360 is not the first consumer 360-degree video camera — Kodak, Ricoh, LG and several other companies also make them — but it could be the most user-friendly.That's saying a lot since this whole 360-degree video thing (also called 360 video or VR video) is still very new for us normals.
