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
Completely wireless, Great head tracking, Solid content library
Resolution is a little disappointing, Full game content expensive, Only compatible with some Galaxy phones
For anyone interested in purchasing a VR headset and who's already a Samsung flagship owner, the Gear VR is a no-brainer. It's easy to use and the content selection keeps growing. There's plenty of appeal here. But perhaps those not already packing a G...

Published: 2015-11-23, Author: Lewis , review by: in.ign.com
Affordable, Tons of content, Great UI, Comfortable
Limited phone support, Only works with Oculus apps, No pupil distance adjustment
It's still very early days for virtual reality and Samsung's Gear VR is an excellent first try. I like that the entire experience can run off a phone and that the Oculus app acts as a hub for all Gear VR content. It's a slick user experience and there's a...
Abstract: Another year has gone by, bringing us one unit of time closer to a world of hoverboards and holodecks and Fifth Element haircuts. In that time we saw a lot of gadgets-perhaps too many-but good or bad, only a select few really mattered. Here's a selection ...

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...
Designed Exclusively For Galaxy Note 4, Lacks 3D Motion Tracking
The Samsung Gear VR is not a gaming console. Its dependency on the Galaxy Note 4 could be the biggest drawback. That means the market for such device is limited. However, we're yet to analyze the Gear VR's true potential...
Surprise: Gear VR is good! Far from poisoning the VR well, Samsung's Gear VR might actually be the thing that helps it go mainstream, considering you don't need a fancy PC to run it, you don't need to attach a cable to the side of your head, and you can r...
Abstract: Samsung was clearly busy getting a bunch of gadgets ready for primetime at this year's IFA expo. The UNPACKED event delivered the long-rumored Samsung Galaxy Note 4, but the the cameo appearances were equally compelling. The Koreans managed to surprise ev...
Gorgeous, immersive games, Mostly comfortable fit, Cheap. if you have the phone
Limited phone compatibility, No positional tracking, Rare performance/heat issues
Without positional tracking and standalone input devices, the Gear VR can't provide as rich and engrossing experiences as the Oculus Rift, PlayStation VR, and HTC Vive will be able to next year. It's tough not to think about that when weighing a purchase...
Abstract: Virtual Reality (VR) is set to be next best thing in entertainment. Ever since the world first heard of Oculus Rift, device manufacturers have been in the race to create a completely immersive visual (and with headphones, audio as well) experience. There...
