Locked to flagship Galaxy device, Lacks enough content and apps
Samsung Galaxy VR is the only headset of its kind that currently sells in the Indian market. For a new technology, it's affordable, reliable and superb quality; hence a recommended accessory for flagship Galaxy owners. I even feel that Samsung should bund...
The catch, of course, is that you need a Gear VR to experience all these different apps. And that in turn means that you also need a top-end Samsung phone. That's a major limiting experience with the Gear VR and other high-end mobile headsets such as the...
Abstract: Samsung has launched its Oculus powered Samsung Gear VR headset alongside Gear S2 smartwatch in the Indian market.The device converts multimedia content, ranging from games or videos into a virtual reality experience. It allows users to enjoy 2D/3D conten...
The Gear VR is a comfortable and enjoyable way to access virtual reality, with a small but growing number of experiences to try out. While not perfect, the resolution and latency are at a point that it feels ‘good enough' for market – and the fact you can
The fact that the Gear VR relies entirely on the Galaxy Note 4 is a harsh limitation. While it's not the most costly thing in the world for Note 4 owners, it becomes largely more expensive for anyone without Samsung's phablet. And until it gets some bigge
The biggest drawback right now is that Gear VR is limited to the Note 4, meaning it's a product that could become outdated in just a matter of months. There are rumours that the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge will be compatible with the headset, but just imagine h...
The Gear VR controller is the missing link we've really needed from Samsung's virtual reality headset. It's going to make the VR experience more enjoyable.The fact that the newer Google Daydream View has a remote only increased fan pressure of Samsung to...

Immersive VR experiences, Sturdy, comfortable design, Remote adds a lot to it
Only for flagship phones, Meatier content, please, Some light bleeds in
It might not have been possible to actually try out the new controller, but just getting to grips with one gives a pretty good idea what to expect when it officially goes on sale. Better interaction was exactly what Gear VR needed, in light of Google's e...
Good selection of software already available, Accurate performance, No wires to worry about, Works with most Bluetooth pads
Requires a Samsung phone to work, Limited power when compared to other VR headsets
As with all VR in 2016, there's no doubt that Samsung and Oculus are finding their feet with this device. No one truly knows what direction VR is going to take over the next few years, yet Gear VR does an excellent job of selling the dream. Sure, the so...

Abstract: Virtual reality has been on the horizon for a very long time now. The problem is, until quite recently the technology that would make it possible just didn't exist. Now, and largely thanks to Oculus VR - the company behind Oculus Rift - we have a system t...
Decent quality VR, Portable, A handful of impressive games
Needs the Note 4 to work, Tech still has some way to go, Library of content is small right now
Despite its limitations, the Gear VR is a great showcase for virtual reality right now. It may not have the longevity of the Oculus Rift, but it'll play a valuable role in pushing virtual reality into the mainstream...
