News:


We have seen mention of a European price of €420 be banded about but now Samsung’s Dutch store lists the device @ €349.99.

Another Dutch retailer is now showing it shipping on May 22nd!

Fingers crossed for that price and release date.

Reserved:

Release date of April 29th confirmed at the Samsung Developer Conference. Still waiting for where and official price.

It's here:


but not to buy...

EDIT:

Unless you are in Korea where the price is $350 (£240). Hope we get to see this price here.

Another mention of May 22nd as the European launch date and Gear 360 Manager app is in the Galaxy Apps store:

Looking forward to this. Hope it is robust enough for snowboarding

Nice location:

Has anyone bought one of these? I just got tempted in by the fairly cheap LG 360 at only £130, but then when you see the footage (and hear the mic) compared to the Samsung, the LG does come across as rather cheap...

I see Digital Discount have it at £283. I'm really tempted by it.

Are there any better, cheaper 4K 360 cams about yet?

I'm holding off until snowboarding season to see prices as not fussed about using it for much else

Still considering one but the Note 7 comes first.

Might be time to revive this, Carphone warehouse have this for £175 with a code, I've ordered one so let's see what happens. I don't have a compatible Samsung phone so will have to use the non-Samsung phone "hack", have a nexus 5x 16gb so hope it works.
Now what memory card is recommended for this?
