If you have a compatible phone, a Note 5, S6, S6 Edge or S6 Edge+ then you'd be crazy not to get this. The Gear VR is undoubtedly the best phone accessory ever made. The experience is new and until augmented reality arrives in a serious way, will be the m...
Abstract: When Samsung announced the Gear VR headset I didn't pay a whole lot of attention. I didn't see it as mainstream, and frankly have had some pretty poor experiences with what some companies in the past have called Virtual Reality. This week I put the headse...
Abstract: In a move that surprised absolutely no one, Samsung has given its Gear VR virtual reality headset a slight facelift, both to accommodate the new Galaxy Note 7 and improve the overall VR and 360-degree video viewing experience.The deep navy blue-and-black...

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

The Gear VR is a comfortable and enjoyable way to access virtual reality, with a small but growing number of experiences to try out. While not perfect, the resolution and latency are at a point that it feels ‘good enough' for market – and the fact you can
The fact that the Gear VR relies entirely on the Galaxy Note 4 is a harsh limitation. While it's not the most costly thing in the world for Note 4 owners, it becomes largely more expensive for anyone without Samsung's phablet. And until it gets some bigge
The biggest drawback right now is that Gear VR is limited to the Note 4, meaning it's a product that could become outdated in just a matter of months. There are rumours that the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge will be compatible with the headset, but just imagine h...
The Gear VR controller is the missing link we've really needed from Samsung's virtual reality headset. It's going to make the VR experience more enjoyable.The fact that the newer Google Daydream View has a remote only increased fan pressure of Samsung to...
Samsung's newest Gear VR is a limited update to the already released headsets, but it's still the best mobile experience for virtual reality on the market.Google's Daydream is getting better, but Gear VR still sits comfortably ahead and the inclusion of t...

Immersive VR experiences, Sturdy, comfortable design, Remote adds a lot to it
Only for flagship phones, Meatier content, please, Some light bleeds in
It might not have been possible to actually try out the new controller, but just getting to grips with one gives a pretty good idea what to expect when it officially goes on sale. Better interaction was exactly what Gear VR needed, in light of Google's e...
