The thing is not much if any info has come out on it yet cause they don't want it to leak and they have never made one so no one knows what they have cooking up. I mean I'm not even gonna lie GoPro is really running the game right now for wide angle indestructible quality ass cameras. And what I think everyone is noticing is there is money to be made in that department. I know if Samsung/Google comes out with something is gonna be stupid nice and might be better than the GoPro or at least give it a strong mate. What everyones saying is it will be slightly larger than chapstick container, will shoot just as good as the GoPro but last 3x as long, and will be in the 299-399 price range. The thing is the GoPro Hero 4 Black is $499 retail (price jump this year SMH) and if a camera that's smaller, last longer, and 100 bucks cheaper drops you know that's gonna sell even if it shoots the same specs.
Yea that 500 dollar price tag... GoPro must think they have a monopoly going on. You would think they would try to stay competitive but they do have bad ass quality. And at least hero 3+ black came with a remote. From what i read you have to buy it separate for $80, no matter if you buy the highest model 4.

Not gonna lie, their teaser commercial was amazing. I think Google and Samsung can and might come out with something amazing, but GoPro is a dedicated company to one specific product whilst google and samsung seem more like they just want to have their hand in every electronic part. But only time will tell
