Sony’s Marshmallow Beta has recently been updated and will bring back one of Sony customers’ favorite power saving features: STAMINA mode. Which automatically shuts down app processes when they are not in use. This feature was first removed from Sony’s first Android Marshmallow builds.

VR’s rebirth has experienced its fair share of delays and now faces a different problem – there’s very little content. While Oculus and Vive will focus on at-home gaming, Samsung’s Gear VR can be used on the go and it pairs nicely with the Gear 360 camera.

It can be used to capture photos and videos that you can “teleport” into with the Gear VR and compatible Galaxy handset.

Of course, some sacrifices might have to be made to acquire the 360° video:
