Cheap for a VR headset, Works with all Galaxy S6 and S7 phones
Noticeable ghosting, Occasional stutters in frame rate, A lack of truly compelling content, Only works with Galaxy S6 and S7 phones
Samsung's virtual reality headset is a fun entry point for VR novices, but its technological flaws and lack of compelling content limit its long-term appeal...

Abstract: Launching alongside the long-awaited Galaxy S7 handset, the Gear VR is Samsung's foray into the increasingly popular world of virtual reality – for a fraction of the price of the competition. But does it have what it takes to stand up to the HTC Vive and...

Abstract: Oculus announced earlier this year that the block-building, world-creating Minecraft would be making its VR debut on Oculus Rift at some point in the future. However, it turns out the Mojang title is also coming to the smartphone-powered Samsung Gear VR.A...

Wire-free VR experience unlike its rivals, more affordable than earlier Gear VR models, new design benefits glasses wearers, easy to setup and use, fun experiences on offer
Tied to phone hardware, lower refresh and perceptible resolution than Oculus/competition, may cause nausea, still limited range of content/games

Intuitive menu system, Lightweight, Quality construction, Tons of content
Limited lens adjustment, Phone overheats regularly, Straps are too tight
Samsung's Gear VR is the first mainstream VR headset, but it's not without its flaws. It is a great first effort and has a lot going for it. Unfortunately, the frequency with which the phone overheats while you're using the headset will disappoint many us...
