Incredibly simple, Doesn't make you feel sick like other VR headsets, Relatively inexpensive
Not great for long term use, Not much content available at launch, Not able to charge your phone at the same time
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 bl...

It's a relatively affordable VR accessory; it creates a better-than-expected sense of immersion using a Note 4 as its screen and engine; apps, while limited, are all free. And it's actually available to purchase now
It only works with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4; the app assortment consists mainly of demos and quick minigames; its video resolution in VR still grainy, compared with TVs and tablets. It doesn't work with full-fledged PC-based Oculus software
The Gear VR Innovator Edition is a cool -- and very promising -- entry ticket for early adopters looking for an affordable taste of virtual reality....

Abstract: Samsung held an event last night in Sydney to show off the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note Edge, Gear S and Gear VR. Here's my early thoughts in video form.I covered off the pricing and availability last night , while also taking some time to play with...
The Samsung GearVR is better than I had expected it to be. We have used phone-based VR in the past but this feels superior and built better. This isn't a gimmick like Google Cardboard, it's a fun add on for the Note 4....

Abstract: The Samsung Gear VR may look a little weird, but it's actually more important than you think: it's the world's first commercial VR experience using Oculus Rift technology. We went hands on to see if it's “all that”.Gear VR may have the blood of Oculus flo...

Abstract: Google Cardboard's smartphone VR is a cool trick, but Samsung has just announced a rig that shows just how legit smartphone virtual reality can be. Gear VR is like an Oculus Rift with a brain you can fit in your pocket, and it's pretty incredible.Just lik...

Abstract: One of the most significant challenges in covering virtual reality is finding the correct words to describe the experience. It's the perfect confluence of our real and digital lives.VR puts you inside a digital landscape, giving a 360-degree view of the v...
Affordable, Light and comfortable, Great head tracking, Simple setup
Drains phone battery, Not all phones compatible, Resolution depends on phone, Trackpad not great
What we think Marketed as an affordable way to jump into Virtual Reality (VR), the Samsung Gear VR is a solid performer, being considerably more comfortable than Google Cardboard. While it’s not as impressive as its PC and console-based competitors...
Good selection of software already available, Accurate performance, No wires to worry about, Works with most Bluetooth pads
Requires a Samsung phone to work, Limited power when compared to other VR headsets
As with all VR in 2016, there's no doubt that Samsung and Oculus are finding their feet with this device. No one truly knows what direction VR is going to take over the next few years, yet Gear VR does an excellent job of selling the dream. Sure, the so...
