With iOS 14, Apple took a cautious approach to letting system features use 5G connectivity. In hindsight, this was the right decision, considering the state of 5G when the iPhone 12 came out and the fact that 5G networking takes a toll on the battery.

Ricoh Theta Review and Giveaway

Danny Stieben — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 17:30:58 GMT

Producing panoramas and/or 360-degree photographs is pretty common on smartphones. The feature is usually built into the native camera application, or can be downloaded as apps such as PanoramaPro and Pano. However, many of these aren't quite as easy to use as they could be (through obvious limitations) due to the need to "scan the horizon" and requiring software on the device to stitch the many pictures together.

Enjoy Breathtaking Panoramic Views With SphereShare.net [Android]

Erez Zukerman — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 23:00:44 GMT

When the Google Nexus 4 first came out, one of the nicest new features it introduced was Photo Spheres. These are immersive 360-degree panoramic views you can take with the phone's camera app, no extra gear needed. In the hands of a skilled photographer they create views that are the next best thing to actually being there. One of the few drawbacks of the format is that it requires a special viewer to enjoy: You can see the photos on the phone itself, or within Google Plus. But not everyone likes to use Google Plus, and even if they do, it's a general social network dedicated to more than just finding and displaying photo spheres. If you're looking for a service that's all about Photo Spheres, without any of that pesky "friending", "circling" and commenting that go on in a social network, look no further than SphereShare.net. This handy tool is made up of two parts: A website and a companion Android app (if you're an iPhone user, you're out of luck -- but you can try something like DMD Panorama).

Create Stunning Panoramic Images With Pano [Android]

Erez Zukerman — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 18:31:06 GMT

Today we’re going to be looking at Pano [No Longer Available], a camera app that currently goes for $2 on the Android Market. Pano has no built-in effects; it doesn’t have advanced shutter controls or a built-in timer. It doesn’t do Lomo, and you can’t say "cheese" to have it take a picture. It does just one thing, but something no other camera app I reviewed so far can do - it helps you take large, beautiful panoramic images.
