At this price nothing comes close.
I bought a Samsung 128gb sd card U3 and it works, reads, and writes perfect.
Connection to my Samsung Active works perfect.
I believe its recommended to have an S7, S8, S9 model or newer. With these versions of Samsung smart phones, streaming is seamlist and beautiful.
For those of you that have used other 4k 360 cameras, yes there is clearly better options... but again, nothing close to the price range.
Everything works and functions as it should and as per specs, it comes with a charger, and a cloth case and support ring. All you need is a SD card to go.
With that Said, I want to mention something that should usually go in the seller profile, though if I put it there you won't see it. So I am writing this just help you. And keep in mind I'm still rating this 5 stars becuae the product itself is great.
The camera shipped by 'Mobile deals' through Amazon to me, was an open and thus used device. Not new.
I attached some photos for reference, this is how I pulled it out of Amazon's shipping box.
Not only was this opened once and resold, it was opened a second time and resold as there was 2 levels of tape placed and re-broken before being sent to me.
Me now being the third owner.... when it was supposed to be new.
Also, packing was dirty, and the labeling was very poorly replaced and with a new (fake??) serial number placed on it.
Update: Check the third photo I realized this is an international box (SM-R210 ), they but the used camera in and put a US version number on it.
It's to big of a hassle to complain and resend and reship... it works... just frustrating. Make sure you don't order from them and pick someone else.
Well, hope this helped!

I read plenty of reviews, and as many others on this website tell the focus and stitching is bad, and they are correct. I don't know what prioritize the focusing in this device but it is a hit and miss, and sadly more miss really, I did some family photography, to create little planet effects, and since we all were about the same distance it worked then, but everything else was very compressed and blurry. Then I did a video test hiking trip, and I didn't get anything but my distorted face. I tried a drivers update but the same problem. While using with a tripod the lens will move or change alignment for no reason. The best you can get out of this is if you stay away or everything is far, and then use other stitching software, but for that, you need to spend about $300 for a decent stitching software. If you go to Samsung website and see the promo videos, I am pretty sure they did use a different software to stitch and you can see that the images are very compressed and that's during nice daylight, while dusk or later time the images get very noisy and the compression show the banding if you try to compensate in post.
The phone app will work only in Samsung Phones, but you don't get the same options on the phone than in the windows app. There are apps for other android phones but they don't work, I tested two of them I just had to ask for my money back because they just crashed or didn't connect at all.
I can't recommend this camera at all, and if you need to do 360 video you'll have to spend serious bucks because there is nothing decent in this price range, you'll only get decent footage when spending over $300 bucks or more.
Quick edit in this review: after testing this camera for a couple of days I just returned to Amazon, there is no use for me to keep this camera.
Thank you, Amazon for the quick and easy return process!
Out of the Box: Getting started with the Gear 360 2017 was very simple. I un-boxed and charged it, read the quick start guide, downloaded the Samsung Gear 360 app from PlayStore and I was taking photos and shooting video right away. I literally posted my first 360-degree video to Facebook within 10-minutes of connecting the camera to my Android. It is very simple and worked flawlessly. To get a little farther, I watched a couple of quick YouTube videos to learn more about the live streaming functionality, which I may never use, but is still cool if you have internet excellent bandwidth.
Pros: Again, simplicity. With my Samsung S7 Edge Android phone, I was able to snap fun photos and video and post to Facebook with little effort. The photo/video is converted from the dual-fish-eye view to the 360-degree format automatically, so it is literally as simple as uploading. The battery life is very good (held a charge for the entire week with intermittent use), and the Bluetooth connection to the phone worked flawlessly every time. As a 360-degree camera, this is really easy to use. It now works with Android and IOS (newer versions), although the Live Streaming doesn't currently work with IOS, and there may still be a lower resolution in IOS at this time.
Cons: I really didn't have a negative experience with the Gear 360 yet. Your IOS and Android phone just need to be on a compatible OS. The one main flaw was this:
- The Gear 360 is top heavy. It simply falls over if there is the least amount of instability under the base, and the rubber "stabilizer" ring supplied with it is useless (if not detrimental in giving a false sense of security). I literally have placed the camera on a slightly-less-than-horizontal surface, and it is perfectly fine for 30-seconds, then it suddenly falls over like a drunk sailor for no apparent reason. I've scratched both lenses, and here's the next big negative, there's no lens replacement kit for this camera (yet, maybe?). To repair the lens, you must currently ship it back to Korea.
Advice? If you buy this camera, buy a decent little tripod for it and take the tripod with you wherever you go. Throw the "stabilizer ring" in the recycle bin and just use the tripod.

In the end really glad I bought it and it is the camera I use with my Smartphone camera to record holiday photos.
Don't forget you need to buy a decent capacity storage card.
