In single-lens mode, the camera is capable of shooting Full HD 1,920 x 1,080 at 60 fps.ДЄnother specs downgrade (on paper, at least), Samsung is using two 8.4-megapixel CMOS sensors instead of two 15-megapixel sensors used in the original. In general, higher frame rates reduce unwanted artifacts in video, but we doubt most users would notice the difference between 30 fps and 24 fps, particularly in a consumer camera like this. We canвЂ™t say if the lower frame rate would have any detrimental effects to the viewing experience, particularly when using a VR headset, until we test it. However, the frame rate has dropped from 30 frames per second, to 24 fps. Video resolution has increased, from 3,840 x 1,920 to 4,096 x 2,048 -В Samsung is officially marketing it as 4K, although donвЂ™t expect it to be comparable to higher-end 4K cameras. ItвЂ™s definitely smaller, and the periscope-like designВ also looks like a cute little robot from a sci-fi movie. The memory card trayВ and USB port areВ also found on the handle, and thereвЂ™s a screw mount at the bottom for tripods. On the handle is a small display (relocated from the top, as in the previous camera) as well as a shutter/record button for easier access. Gone is the tripod that attached to the camera: Instead of a small, tapered tripod thatвЂ™s hard to hold onto, the new Gear 360 now has aВ handleВ thatвЂ™s part of the form-factor, making it easier to hold. Samsung also redesigned the way itвЂ™s held. We think it stills heavy when held in the hand, but itвЂ™s solidly built and fits nicely.

ItвЂ™s still dust and water resistant, but not waterproof. In our review, we thought the originalвЂ™s form-factor was hefty and awkward, but the new camera is smaller and lighter (100.6 x 46.3 x 45.1 mm 130 grams versus 152). The new camera retains the funky, eyeball-shaped design of its predecessor, which has two wide-angle (195 degrees), f/2.2 lenses on either side for capturing 360 degrees (thereвЂ™s also a single-mode function). Familiar design, but completely different This story has been updated to reflect the new information.
