We thought the recently released Pixel 2 might…
2018 Samsung Gear 360 VR Camera is in the works Remember the Samsung Gear 360 4K VR camera that debuted earlier this month? Probably not. Well, me neither! Reports have suggested that Samsung’s 360-camera business has not been going very well as the firm expected. However, a new patent filing suggests that the Korean tech giant has plans for a 2018-edition of Gear 360 VR camera.
