The editors didn't like

  • Poor app selection
  • Needs more degrees of freedom
  • Right now
  • Virtual reality on the cheap requires either a piece of cardboard in which you precariously set your smartphone for some barebones “immersive” virtual reality
  • Or headsets like the Samsung Gear
  • Go does what it can to make "3DOF" head tracking feel comfortable
  • But new users may struggle with that cost-cutting limitation
  • The hand controller
  • On the other hand
  • Blows an opportunity to add better tracking or more buttons to GearVR's simpler scheme
  • Doesn't track position
  • Just one motion controller
  • Underpowered compared with tethered and flagship smartphone-powered headsets
  • Limited software library
  • Two-hour battery life. It's a sit-down experience (no room tracking). No expandable storage. No kid-safe settings. Lacks multiple account options
  • Battery only lasts two hours
  • Three degrees of freedom
  • Not as powerful as Windows Mixed Reality or Oculus Rift
  • Light leaks from nose cutout
  • Charges over microUSB
  • Takes 3 hours to fully charge
  • Limited motion tracking
  • App ecosystem is still iffy
  • Bulky and silly-looking — like every VR headset
  • Some smartphone reliance
  • Lacks room-tracking capability
  • Limited storage
  • User must stay in one place (no room-scale VR)
  • Only comes in gray
  • Controller requires AA-battery
  • Uses micro-USB instead of USB-C
  • Requires smartphone for set-up
  • No spatial tracking
  • Longer charge time than run time
  • Experiences more limited than tethered headsets
  • Still a bit limited by its mobile hardware
  • Battery life could be better
