The latest rumors suggest that the next Galaxy Note III would be the first device to carry the S Orb camera. This Samsung software allows take 360-degree panoramic photos. The tip comes from Android Geeks, the same ones who informed us of the existence of this resource for the camera in which the Korean company worked. They have spoken again with an engineer from Seoul and he has confirmed that the third installment of the classic phablet will be the lucky one.
Experts say it will be something very similar to Photosphere, that camera app for Android 4.2 Jelly Bean devices. The application is responsible for guiding us while we take the photo so that we make good decisions when we are capturing images from different angles. It will tell us if we go very fast, if the photo is not useful because it is not clear, etc ... These are inserted into a map with grids and guides. When we have finished, the digital management of the captured images begins and a single image is produced that unifies them.
If Samsung really wants to impress with this feature, it has to provide some additional functionality such as filters or some editing capabilities since the 360 degree panoramic images they are becoming more and more popular among advanced Android and iPhone users. It is said that this special feature could be an integration with Facebook to share the photos with ease.
S Orb was expected to appear with the Galaxy S4, however the company has chosen to wait to release it with the Note III because they prefer launch it with Android 5.0 that will already be out and gives you better performance and better integration. The presentation of this device will most likely be at the IFA from Berlin September, almost 4 months after the Google I / O event in which the new Android operating system, Key Lime Pie, will clearly be presented.
