Smartphone maker ProTruly has come up with an unconventional feature for its Darling smartphone, making it the first smartphone to incorporate a 360-degree camera.
The 360-degree camera enables users to take images in all directions with a single shot. Users can also share these pictures on social media platforms that support 360-degree images. The camera however protrudes on both sides making it uncomfortable for users to fit it in their pockets.
The Darling smartphone sports a 5.5-inch full HD display and is powered by a MediaTek processor coupled with 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage. It is equipped with a 13MP 360-degree camera and runs of Android 6.0 Marshmallow out-of-the-box. It also features a fingerprint sensor for added security.
The smartphones comes in two different variants, the standard model has plastic camera build, while the high-end variant packs leather, a strip of gold and four embedded diamonds.
The device was showcased last year and it made appearance at MWC 2017 event. ChinaDaily claims that the standard version would cost $600 while the higher variant is priced at $1,300. Mashable on the other hand reports that the smartphone will sell at $500 and $800 and will be available only for China.
