The Gear 360 will be priced at $229. However, if you purchase a Galaxy S8 or S8+ between May 25th and June 19th, you can get a Gear 360 for just $49.
Samsung’s Gear 360 is a camera that can capture 360-degree images. You can also record 4K video and live stream with the device. The Gear 360 is compatible with select Samsung smartphones like the Galaxy S8 and S8+, Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, and Galaxy A5 and A7, as well as the iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, and iPhone 7 Plus.
