Here's when and where you can buy Samsung Gear 360 (2017)

On the day that Samsung announced the Galaxy S8, there was another device that made an appearance too -- the newest version of the Gear 360. This isn't the company's first 360 camera, but it is its most elegant. The camera is small, modern, and even uses USB-C.

Today, Samsung unveils what you really want to know, however -- how much it will cost, plus when (starting tomorrow) and where you can get it. Not only do we finally have all of those details, but there is even a special promotion for new Samsung Galaxy S8 buyers too.

"The new Gear 360 is priced at $229, representing a highly accessible price point for creating high quality, 360-degree photos and videos, or live broadcasting life's moments in full 360 degrees. Gear 360 will be available in-store and online at Best Buy and BestBuy.com, Amazon.com, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon and U.S. Cellular, Samsung.com, and through the ShopSamsung app," says Samsung.

The Galaxy-maker also says, "The new Gear 360 is compatible with Samsung devices, including the newly released Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S7 active, Galaxy Note5, Galaxy S6 edge+, Galaxy S6, and Galaxy S6 edge. It is also compatible with many third-party accessories through the universal mount at the base of the device. The new Gear 360 offers expanded compatibility with iOS devices and Windows/Mac computers."

So what is this promotion that I mentioned? Well, unfortunately, if you already bought a Galaxy S8, you are out of luck. New buyers of the smartphone -- from May 25, 2017 until June 19, 2017 -- can get the Gear 360 for a mere $49! You can learn more about the deal here. If you were going to buy an S8 anyway, getting the Gear 360 for such a low price is an absolute no-brainer.
