Nokia returns to making hardware with a VR camera

Carl Lamiel

Nokia is back in the hardware-making game, albeit this time creating toys for virtual reality where most of the tech giants are now heading into.

Called the OZO, the Finnish giant’s newest project is said to include eight f/2.4 cameras to create 360-degree spherical video and 360×360 surround sound, and weighs 4.2 kilograms. It can capture a wide range of detail at 185 degrees in 8K or 4K shooting modes, and can be edited with a software application made for Apple’s Mac platform.

The OZO isn’t some casual tech toy like the Gear 360, as Nokia aims to bring this to serious filmmakers. The price? A whooping $60,000 or Php2.79M when it was silently launched in the US last year. We all know we can’t afford that, and the Finnish giant also aims to create a cheaper VR camera aimed at hobbyists which will be introduced in the future.

Camera Blind Test: Samsung Galaxy S7 vs ASUS Zenfone Zoom

Kevin Bruce Francisco

We’re back with another article for our Camera Blind Test series and this time, we’re comparing two high-end phones that take imaging seriously — the new Samsung Galaxy S7 and the ASUS Zenfone Zoom.

Just like before, sample photos will be labeled with A or B so you won’t know which device took which picture. We will be revealing the results next week after tallying all your votes.

Note: Be sure to vote per category as the sample images are mixed (Galaxy S7 is sometimes A, sometimes B. Same with Zenfone Zoom).
