Samsung Gear VR SM-R323 Reviews

Verdict: This is to inform all that Samsung is indulging in what seems to be a clear case of cheating by non disclosure of vital information regarding the product Samsung vr headset. Samsung has not informed anywhere that the Oculus software and apps available on Samsung Oculus store are non transferable to...

Verdict: It's a really great piece of technology but a bit overpriced and once you've used it a couple times, you realize there's nothing really exceptional about it that makes it much better than other vr headsets. Besides, it good quality and comfortable for any kind of usage.

Verdict: I've had my Gear VR unit for one week now, and I absolutely love it. I wound up buying a refurbished model off Amazon to save some money on the 2016 model, and I received it in near perfect condition.

Verdict: Fits my S6 well. Had to add a fan to keep my phone from overheating. It is comfortable and the lenses look good. Works best with the Gear VR controller. This is a good way for people to experience the joy of VR.

Verdict: I have an S7 phone and it is too small, it won't stay connected unless we tape it in. It may be compatible but it'd be great if they also meant size compatible. Once we get it so the phone stays in the unit, it works great.

Verdict: Absolutely immerse viewing experience i had with my s7 edge , Highly recommended the best vr headset out there .

Verdict: Very impressed.. ordered it and got it in a few days, perfect condition, very satisfied with my purchase.. especially that it was my first time ordering from the website

Verdict: Christmas gift for our 11 year old son and he Loves it!

Verdict: She loves this product. It is great and exciting

Verdict: Great product, costs a little more than others on the market but it's clearly superior and powered by Oculous. It has a Micro USB adaptor in the box for those without USB-C and can be charged whilst being used. A great buy and it will change the way you use your phone!

Verdict: The product is amazing. Two major flaws though. Unable to shut off the phone while it is in the VR, (I want to leave the S7 in the VR permanently). And I still haven't found a way to charge the phone while it is in the VR.

Verdict: Following last year's launch, the Samsung Gear VR quickly established itself as the top mobile virtual-reality device - so much so, that an army of clones rose in its wake. Now, Samsung has raised the bar even higher with a new model that keeps the same $99 price but adds a wider field of view and...

Verdict: This updated version of Samsung's virtual reality headset hasn't changed much. But the addition of a USB Type-C port and improved field of view might just make a huge difference[...]

Verdict: 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 more evolution than revolution 2016 Gear VR.

Verdict: I remember putting the Samsung Gear VR on my face and being blown away by the experiences it created. It was my first take-home doorway into virtual reality. That was December, 2014 .

Verdict: There's a new Samsung Gear VR in town. If you're keeping count, this is now the fourth iteration of the Korean company's Oculus-powered VR headset . Revealed alongside the new Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, the latest Gear VR is the same price as its predecessor – that's £80.

Verdict: It doesn't matter if you've already got a modern Samsung phone, or are planning to upgrade to what might be the best big phone of 2016) - based on what we've seen, this is probably the best way to get into mobile VR. Samsung will probably keep the price the same, has an ongoing partnership with Oculus to product some great games and apps, and if you pre-order the Note 7, you can nab one for free. It's pretty much future-proof too, so you won't need to upgrade it even if you get a newer Galaxy phone later down the line. If the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive are a little out of your price range, and you're rocking a Samsung phone, grab one of these and get into VR on the cheap. It'll officially go on sale towards the end of August. Buy the Samsung Gear VR (2016) here from Amazon

Verdict: Samsung's definitely proving to be an innovator with its announcements at IFA 2014, with the Gear VR and the new Galaxy Note Edge smartphone. We think the Gear VR has the potential to be a big hit in the education and gaming markets, and the low price means virtual reality is more accessible than ever. We can't wait to spend more time with the Gear VR when we get it back to our labs.

Verdict: If you have a compatible Samsung phone, then the Gear VR is really a no-brainer for anyone with even the slightest interest in virtual reality. For £99 over the price of the phone itself (of course), you can unlock some really immersive and entertaining experiences, and while not on the level of the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, the total buy-in price is about half at most. The new controller isn't a game-changer by any means, but it's a serious benefit: it's a more comfortable, more versatile input device that allows for new kinds of interactions and broadens the horizons for Samsung's platform. We'll see more and more games take advantage of it in time, but even right now, the advantages are obvious. Google's Daydream VR initiative didn't exactly hit the ground running, either, with few other phone makers getting on board - it makes the Gear VR much more likely to earn a place in your home. If you already have an older Gear VR headset, then you're in luck: Samsung is selling the remote separately for US$40, and it'll pair with your device. Get on that, if so. Everyone else with a Galaxy S8 or one of the other compatible phones: this is the best and most complete version to date, and packs in a lot of fun for relatively little cash.
