Gyroscope sensor?

Does the Zenpad S 8.0 Z580CA have a gyroscope sensor? I've seen various yes/no answers to this. All apps that I've tried that use the gyroscope sensor don't function. (360 videos) I installed the Sensor Box app and it says that my device hardware does not support the gyroscope sensor. Asus says that the device has a G-sensor. Is mine just not functional? The accelerometer and level sensors work fine.
Thank you in advance.

A G-sensor is different from a gyroscope. G-sensor is an accelerometer, which measures acceleration only, while a gyroscope measures orientation, rotation, and angular velocity.

The official ASUS specs only mention G-sensor, so I would assume it doesn't have a gyro. You can double-check with another app like CPU-Z.

So CPU-Z shows an accelerometer, a gravity sensor and a linear acceleration sensor, all reading in m/s2. There is no gyroscope. It would read in rad/s, like my phone does. Thank you for your help.
