Google's "Photosphere" 360-degree panoramas are one one of the stand-out features of Android 4.2. But we've been left guessing as to whether third-party manufacturers will get access to this tech when they ship their own non-Nexus devices. Now it seems at least one OEM may be prepared to go it alone with its own proprietary Photosphere-like feature.
According to AndroidGeeks, which cites engineering sources within Samsung, the company will debut "Samsung Orb" on the upcoming Galaxy S4. This is said to be a Photosphere-like feature, allowing users to record similar 360-degree images for "an almost three-dimensional viewing experience." Naturally we'd expect an upcoming Samsung flagship to pack a better camera than the Nexus 4, so that's a point that'll work in Samsung's favor.
