Intuitive menu system, Lightweight, Quality construction, Tons of content
Limited lens adjustment, Phone overheats regularly, Straps are too tight
Samsung's Gear VR is the first mainstream VR headset, but it's not without its flaws. It is a great first effort and has a lot going for it. Unfortunately, the frequency with which the phone overheats while you're using the headset will disappoint many us...
Completely wireless, Great head tracking, Solid content library
Resolution is a little disappointing, Full game content expensive, Only compatible with some Galaxy phones
For anyone interested in purchasing a VR headset who's already a Samsung flagship owner, the Gear VR is a no-brainer. It's easy to use and the content selection has grown. It still has some growing to do, but there's plenty of appeal here. But perhaps...

But I'm nitpicking here and this is, to an extent, just the growing pains of a completely new technology. While there aren't any truly phenomenal gaming experiences available here yet, the Gear VR Innovator Edition for S6 is a great taste of things to com...
Abstract: At the Mobile World Congress (MWC), an event primarily aimed at smartphone releases, HTC and Samsung have both announced virtual reality headsets that boast some pretty impressive features. Though this might seem like an odd move for HTC, President Peter ...
Delivers a strong VR experience, Comfortable to wear, Free apps and videos
Very limited supply of content right now, Expensive when you factor in a Note 4 and gamepad
Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition review If Samsung wants to be regarded as an innovator, it needs to produce more devices such as the Gear VR. While the lack of content makes it feel a little like a prototype, it's an actual, buyable product that gives ...

Man, VR is just so cool. I mean, ugh, I can't even verbalise how cool it is to have a VR headset hanging around my flat, Gear VR is stupid simple so it's fantastic for introducing other people to VR. My co-workers had a blast passing it around. My somewha
I wish there was more to do in it. More stuff should come later, but the lack of games and the relative shallowness of most of the offerings make the experience feel shallow. It's awesome, it just doesn't hold my attention for long. I didn't find anything
Probably not. Unless you are a developer, this isn't even really meant for you. Yes Gear VR is super cool, and super promising for the future of virtual reality, but there's not enough to do quite yet to justify getting one. That is, unless you are a blee...

For now Samsung has only confirmed the arrival of the Gear VR for this year, without specifying a specific date yet. Nor price, although rumors would bet on a fairly tight cost more money falling the weight on the device Galaxy Note 4. In short, a pair o...

It's still early days for VR, and as mentioned earlier, some pixilation was noticeable. Given the gear VR sells for a pocket pleasing $299 (plus a Galaxy S6), it's still an acceptable compromise given the amount of fun possible. Once you're caught up in t...

Great for wow-ing your friends and colleagues, 360-degree videos and photos feel immersive, Easy operation
Heavy to wear, Limited to about 10min of use before becoming uncomfortable, Can drain the smartphone's battery quickly
It's a great gadget to share among friends and colleagues, though it's best used at home. Battery drainage will be an issue, and you will also appear a little odd while wearing the glasses, as you look up and around to take in all that you can see, while...
