Recently, Samsung went mad and started releasing software updates that gave us even more features on our existing devices. The Galaxy Buds2 Pro received an update in January that let us do 360° audio recording when paired with a compatible Samsung phone. I wanted to try this out some time ago, but there’s really nothing interesting.
So, during my recent trip, I decided to bring the Galaxy S23 Ultra and the Galaxy Buds2 Pro with me, and start capturing the city soundscapes of Singapore.
The settings were straightforward – I disabled auto FPS because it will be jarring when the exposure changes, and also just set it to 4K 60fps. Then, I enabled the 360° audio recording option and wore the earbuds – then started recording random stuff wherever I went.
The result is… well, I’ll say this – because of YouTube’s compression, I’m quite sure that you won’t be hearing what I’m hearing from the original video. Still, the essential part of the soundstage is retained.
It would’ve been better if it can suppress the wind’s whooshing sound but without a deadcat, it’s rather tricky.
Nonetheless, I’m still impressed by what it can do. I’m merely just doing this recording because the stars aligned and I wanted to do something different. I have to say – the night mode video at 4K 60fps on the Galaxy S23 Ultra is exceptionally good.
