Rumor: Samsung To Introduce Photo Sphere In Galaxy S IV, Call It Samsung Orb

With Android 4.2 came a feature called Photo Sphere. Using the technology of street view trucks, it can take many images and stitch them into a sphere. It’s like taking panorama shots to the next level. And after taking these photos, you can either view them as a full shot or scroll around them like you would street view in Google Maps. While it doesn’t always work perfectly, it’s a pretty awesome feature.

And how can Samsung miss out on such a feature? Rumors say that Samsung is planning to include it in their new Galaxy S IV, but it won’t be called Photo Sphere. They are going to call it Samsung Orb. And the same rumor states that it’ll be better than Photo Sphere due to the “S IV’s amazing camera.”

So we’re excited to see Samsung’s take on Photo Sphere, and we hope it’ll actually be as good as they say. While Photo Sphere is awesome, it needs a bit of work. Are you guys excited to see it?

Seems more and more that Samsung is competing against Google than being an android partner

The problem with photo sphere is unless you send it to another phone with the same capacity, no one can see it. You can't even save it to your computer so its a gimmick

 MatteoRodrigo Who else to make it a widespread feature than Samsung? There will be a Galaxy S IV in every household by the time they're done :P

Sounds great to me no doubt. But they better not use NO SNAPDRAGON S4 600. Exynos 5 Octa only.

 richardyarrell I think the Snapdragon 600 is great, but I agree that it better be either Exynos 5 quad or their new Octa. Doesn't really matter to me, I'm in it for the Wolfson Micro audio DAC
