I can't even verbalize how cool it is to have a VR headset hanging around my apartment

Gear VR is stupid simple so it's fantastic for introducing other people to VR. My co-workers had a blast passing i

The editors didn't like
Few VR apps in Oculus app store
Only works with Galaxy Note 4
Basically a developer kit
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
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 fullfledged PCbased Oculus software
Not enough content yet
Buggy at times
Works only with Galaxy Note 4
Some panoramic videos still look pixelated compared to what you'd experience on a high-end phone or tablet
Only works with particular Samsung phones
Won't work with Google Cardboard apps
Requires one of four specific Samsung Galaxy smartphones
Still no killer app to make virtual reality a must-have
Potential thermal issues
It only works with some recent Samsung phones. The mobile VR experience still pales in comparison to more robust upcoming PC- and console-based options
Innovator Edition features limited content
No thirdparty app support
Can cause headaches or eye strain over prolonged periods of use
Necessarily bulky
Minuscule
Demo-heavy library
Expensive
Battery drain and overheating are still problems. While an improvement over developer versions
Could still use some work. Requires a Samsung phone
So iOS and Windows users are out of luck. Don't have a Galaxy phone? Add a few hundred dollars to the pric
Limited functionality
Extremely limited software library
Requires a Note 4
Making it very expensive
Only compatible with a handful of Samsung phones
Drains your phone battery
Not as robust as upcoming PC and console-based VR headsets

Probably not. Unless you are a developer, this isnt even really meant for you. Yes Gear VR is super cool, and super promising for the future of virtual reality, but theres not enough to do quite yet to justify getting one. That is, unless you are a blee...
