See what you shoot with Acer’s new 360 pocket cam

Flip-style Holo360 comes with a 3in touchscreen and 4G streaming

Tom Wiggins

Back in 2007, when Donald Trump was just an orange Alan Sugar and your phone couldn’t even shoot HD video, there was a thing called a Flip – a basic one-handed camcorder with a screen on the back, a lens on the front and not much more. It looked a lot like Acer’s new Holo360 (€349), although a quick glance at the spec sheet and you’ll soon find out that’s where the similarities end. This Android-powered cam can shoot, stitch and stream 360-degree 4K videos over 4G, with a 3in touchscreen for checking your footage. Amazing how things can change in 10 years, isn’t it? Just ask Donald Trump.
