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

Amazing level of immersion, Improvements over previous Gear VR, Solid game and app line-up via Oculus
Limited range of apps, No integrated speaker or earphones, Onboard charging is imperfect
Samsung's Gear VR is at its best and most refined yet in this current, second iteration. If you have a Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge, this virtual reality headset is a moderately expensive accessory that adds a genuinely unique and genuinely fun experience to an a...

Eye pieces still fog up, just like they did on the Note Gear VR; S6 demo content is stream-based, and tends to look less than desirable while stopping for buffering; Earphones aren't included or built into the unit; No Samsung Milk VR video system in our
A little more expensive than its Gear VR for Note 4 brother, and yet a little lighter and better design, the Gear VR Innovator Edition for Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge gets a little closer to being a product you'd want to put your eyes on often if not for the fa...
It's clear that the Gear VR is an early-adopter device. The fact that it can only be used with one type of smartphone inevitably limits its appeal, and any consumer VR system hoping to win over the mass market will need a more developed content library t...
Really freaking cool, Easiest way for consumers to get a glimpse of VR,
Bulky, Only works with Galaxy Note 4, Somewhat limited content at the moment,
At the end of the day, you're paying AUD$250 for something that's ultimately a novelty. The Gear VR isn't a gadget you'll use every day, but it's a ridiculously cool proof-of-concept. As fantastic as it is, you probably shouldn't buy the Gear VR; you sho...
