194399This gadget is amazing! From the slick black packaging to the crisp black finish and comfortable design to the actual VR functioning! The image quality is second to none; clear and as if you’re enveloped in the image. A must have if you’re into gaming, watching HD sports or even just Netflix. The only negative is that it kills your phone battery.

Full of entertainment
194395Samsung Gear VR continues to be dominant force in virtual reality headsets.
Completely black headset made of sturdy plastic. The padding meets your forehead and strong adjustment of straps make it way more comfier.
the only con I see in this fabulous tech is that its lot heavier than google day dream view and obviously your experience using this tech depends on the smartphone you use and it can only be used with only 8 cellphones, which actually hurts.
The actual addition to this version is sleek stylish black remote which makes it easier to operate.
I think Samsung Gear VR has a potential for plenty of first-person shooter type games which I am looking forward to.
In short, Samsung Gear VR seems unchallenged because its the best affordable virtual headset in market and I hope things will only go better with latest iteration of the headset.
Conclusion: the Gear VR is a great platform for those who don’t want to invest in more expensive Virtual Reality techs.

5 stars! WOW
194050The Samsung VR with controller is also well packed and easy to work out what is what without having to look through manuals (Love the black box). There are multiple connectors inside the box which means that you can use it with other Samsung devices which I personally think is fantastic! In todays world everything that is released it made for the latest model and can not be used with pervious devices and yet Samsung has clearly made this to suite all models above the S6 which is a breath of fresh air. Plugged in my S8+ to the VR and was automatically prompted to download the software on my S8+ which is a plus no fiddling about trying to install things one by one. There is a good rage of videos, experience and games that are offered by Oculus store and Samsung VR, they cater for experience that really tap into your hobbies, likes and interests and really give you the feeling that you are there yourself. The videos apps will blow you away! From the comfort of your own home it transports you half way across the world to ski destinations or to the African’s plains where guaranteed your heart will be racing. The added bonus of having Facebook 360 app allows you to upload your own videos experiences and watch others totally fantastic a real step into the future of sharing. I found it to be so realistic and immersive I would recommend that everyone gives it a try the possibilities and potential are endless with the Samsung VR. The games range from suitable for kids to suitable for adults and totally fit you likes and interests. For the kids it kept them entertained and amazed, they were able to navigate through it all like they were pros and had been using it for years! I connected the smart view on my S8+ to my Samsung 4K TV so everyone was able to see what was going on had them jumping to go next. In my opinion it is perfect to spark a kid’s imagination they were talking about it for hours on end and told all their friends about it. The Adult games offer experiences from driving to shoot em ups and everything in-between, I am a keen gamer and really liked being put in the driving seat as it were. The motion controller is a great benefit when it comes to shooting games and other, from navigating through apps to using things in games it was spot on. To sum up I would say this serious piece of kit is relatively cheap for what it is and offers and would be a great investment for anyone with the Samsung S6 and above.

Description
Conceived and designed in partnership with Oculus
The Samsung Gear VR is exclusive accessory based on Oculus Rift's hardware. Gear VR is specifically designed to be a peripheral device that works with your Note 5, S7, S7 Edge, S6, S6 Edge and S6 Edge Plus. Your device actually acts as the visual interface of the Gear VR, as you need to put it in front of the goggle-like accessory.
The Samsung Gear VR delivers a completely new way to experience and consume mobile content and is a massive step forward in wearable technology. Oculus are a leader in virtual reality technology and by working with Samsung on the Gear VR, have created an immersive mobile virtual reality experience that the industry has never seen to date.
Intuitive, ergonomic motion controller increases immersion
A VR interface as beautiful and user-friendly as the Gear VR is one thing, but what about a way to interact? Any controller for a VR headset would need to be light, unobtrusive and uncomplicated - an extension of your hands. The new Motion Controller bundled with the Gear VR is all of these things. A compact, lightweight build combines with satisfyingly tactile buttons and full motion support to create the most immersive VR experience available. Take your gaming, movie viewing or any other VR activity to the next level with the Motion Controller.
Designed for the Galaxy S8, Note 5, S7, S7 Edge, S6, S6 Edge and S6 Edge Plus
The Gear VR works exclusively with the dedicated VR player installed on the Galaxy S8, S7, S7 Edge, Note 5, S6, S6 Edge and S6 Edge Plus? and is engineered to work perfectly with this software. There is also a host of applications and games in development. There is no lag between moving your head and moving the picture as the latency is excellent indeed at practically zero, or near enough so the difference is virtually imperceptible.
Unrivalled viewing experience with 101 degrees field of view
The Samsung Gear VR delivers an unrivalled viewing experience for this price range with the Quad HD Super AMOLED display of the Galaxy smartphones, providing stunning and engaging visuals at a mobile-leading resolution. With the Gear VR, the effect is the equivalent of sitting in the best seat of a theatre, being on-stage at a performance with full 360 degree 3D video, and being able to enjoy gaming like never before - inside stunning worlds where imagination becomes reality. Samsung’s industry leading Super AMOLED display technology and cutting-edge Oculus-driven technologies fuse to create an experience that surprises and delights – all on a mobile device!
Distortion correction technology minimises your risk of motion sickness
Samsung's integrated distortion correction technology works in tandem with your eyes and your brain to ensure that the risk of motion sickness while using the Gear VR is dramatically reduced. Enjoy VR content in complete comfort.
USB-C and Micro USB connectors included
Compatible with USB-C and Micro USB connectors - so a wide range of Samsung Galaxy smartphones can be used with this stunning VR headset.
Lightweight and comfortable
Built with soft, flexible cushioning and lightweight materials, Samsung Gear VR is comfortable to wear. As it is wearable technology, this is very important of course. There's no point having cutting edge wearable tech if it's unwearable. It is completely wireless, so it is possible to be fully engaged in virtual worlds without being tethered to a computer. With a robust selection of optimised virtual reality content from a wide range of top-tier creators, owners can enjoy a wide range of film, gaming, 360 degree video and educational/experiential content.
