Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is rumoured to have a 360-degree camera for panoramic photos.

The new software was originally expected to debut on the Galaxy S4, but according to Android Geeks the 360-degree camera will finally debut with the South Korean company's 3rd-gen phablet.

Now Android Geeks is claiming that a Samsung software engineer has confirmed that the Galaxy Note 3 release date will finally deliver onto us the fabled Samsung Orb, letting smartphone users take 360 degree panoramic photos. The report also suggests that although the new phablet will be the first to offer this feature out-of-the-box, it could also land on the S4 and other popular Samsung devices soon afterwards in the form of a software update.

Last week, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 rumours have suggested that the upcoming device will be the first smartphone to feature an unbreakable, flexible display. Korean website Asiae has cited unnamed "industry sources" in speculatively claiming the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 specs sheet will see the company's flexible OLED technologies, first demoed at the Vegas-based convention, feature.

Latest reports claimed that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will hold its separate Unpacked Event before the IFA Event in Berlin.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is expected to make its debut in the third quarter of this year. Rumours point to possible September release date. There are speculations that Samsung will hold the announcement of the Note 3 on the annual IFA event in Berlin. The said launch will allow Samsung to maximize its profits and to complete the tried-and-tested September product cycle of the Galaxy Note series.

It is initially speculated that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 would make its grand debut at the 2013 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week in its keynote. The rumours are fuelled by the significant price drop of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 at some resellers early this month.
