📸 Revolutionary 360 Degree Camera for Essential Phone: Unleash Creative Possibilities! Review

This is a very good deal (if you bought it at retail price like I did). 360 degree images and videos are very cool and trendy. It's a bit tricky to share your stuff (videos are good for you, photos are very tricky. I usually just upload them to g*** and share the link). I'm very happy to support Essential and can't wait to get new gadgets and attachments for this phone!

When I first used it, I got fragmented video sometimes. But overall I liked it as it was a great way to shoot 360 videos. However, I did get annoyed that the video showed distinct lines where the front and rear cameras were sewn together and sometimes the colors didn't match due to the lighting. After about a week of hiking and carrying it in an outside pocket it had trouble charging and started stuttering and red purple etc lights came on on the front. Battery discharge was about 1% per…

In the $20-$30 price range, it's hard to complain, but be aware that this little camera has its fair share of quirks. I won't go into detail as many others before me have listed many of the problems I encountered. All I'm saying is that you're buying an essentially useless accessory that only works half the time. So far I've had fun experimenting with it and playing 360 videos and pictures I've taken with it on my HTC Vive. If you're looking for a serious device for 360 video or images, you…

Cool device. Captures 360 degree photos and videos exactly as described with no stitching or anything required. The video isn't as HD as I originally thought, but since 4k is wrapped in a sphere and not centered on a single plane, it makes sense and I can't complain. I couldn't get it to work right away because I already had the camera app open. The camera app must be closed before connecting (at least for now). I haven't listened to a 360 video with my good headphones, so I'm not sure how well

I love the camera for its easy operation, great picture styles, especially the mini planet style. However, this in no way corresponds to the resolution quality of the full photosphere. However, there's no denying that you can shoot 360° in one shot and not worry about objects moving during the shooting sequence. The video recording function sometimes distorts parts of the video. The camera communicates wirelessly with the phone and the signal doesn't always seem to be as good as it should be…

I have several 360 cameras, but mostly I take Theta V for fun. It doesn't really depend on the quality of these. However, it's close enough that I've already stopped carrying the Theta and now just toss it in my pocket or purse before leaving. Also, I like the phone. This little 360 degree camera is amazing for the price they are selling right now! Didn't really feel like I needed it, so I wouldn't have paid the higher upfront price, but I'd still pay at least double what I paid for it knowing…

I received this camera shortly after receiving my Essential PH-1 and it worked flawlessly for the first few months while it was still under warranty, but it was almost like the camera was counting down the timer set so literally a week after the original warranty expired that the camera will force the phone to turn off as soon as possible to connect, or report a FULL battery within seconds of connecting to the phone, even if the phone is closed connected to a charger at this time! The Essential

I was very happy with my phone when I received it as it has a great price with 360 degree camera and good hardware. Pure Android and rapidly updated versions were also a nice touch. Unfortunately, I very quickly found issues with the touchscreen, which was either sluggish or jittery. And after a while, a lot of weight takes its toll. I actually got tunnel cramps from using it in bed and I really wish I had bought something more expensive and lighter. The 360-degree camera is a nice touch and…
