Only works with a specific collection of Samsung phones. Oculus PC game and app library isn't cross-compatible with Android or Google Cardboard VR ecosystems. Lacks the positional awareness of PC-based VR rigs. Limited inputs mean it's less immersive VR t

Abstract: 2016 was the first real year of the consumer virtual reality era, and saw the release of the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR platforms. Though actual game experiences were somewhat limited early in 2016, the pace has picked up dramatically on th...

The refreshed Samsung Gear VR only offers a few incremental changes, but they're all positive ones. The design changes are brilliant, the extra padding, the addition of the home button, and the improved touchpad all make the Samsung Gear VR easier to us...

Abstract: With the new Galaxy Note 7 and its USB-C port (a first for the lineup), Samsung needed an updated Gear VR headset to support the new phone/port combo. But this is more than a compatibility update, if only by a little. Read on, as New Atlas reviews the mor...

As cool as these little changes are, calling this headset a need if you already own a Gear VR is a stretch. If you plan to purchase a Galaxy Note 7, this is clearly what you want. If you own a Galaxy S7 or S7 edge and have not yet purchased a Gear VR, thi...

Samsung's latest Gear VR is a joy to wear, and it's even more immersive than before. It's an easy buy if you own a Samsung phone, but be aware that Google's Daydream VR platform is on the horizon. From afar, the new Gear VR just looks like a color-...

Great option for entry into VR; easytouse; highly mobile
Limited controls; overheats easily; Samsung only
The Samsung Gear VR stands out in an increasingly saturated market for virtual reality headsets, in that the unit utilises smartphones, rather than PC and console-based options, to power the surreal experience. You simple remove the protective cover at th...
