    T.HE.NE.I.G.H.BO.R., 26 Jul 2016Oboy. If only no one gets nausea from use.Oh boy I didn't! And nobody did!

      LLL, 26 Jul 2016Rather buy separate devices for smartphone and VR.Agree. We couldn't everything rely on a device, if the 4K is the battery eater.

          Sadly you need a Google account in order to use all this VR stuff...
          It's great, but no thanks! Sharing info with Google (and Facebook) is like giving your stuff away for free.

            AnonD-1825, 27 Jul 2016"This lack of quality experiences is perhaps understandable... moreYou're really unbelievable! lol Of course if you keep looking for negative points you'll find them, but those are only small minority of reviewers which I'm sure are either Samsung haters or just people who are paid by competitors to spread rotten reviews of the Gear VR. Like I said, the more trustworthy reviewers from big sites and Amazon.com reviewers, almost 1700 of them, from people who actually purchased it!, almost unanimously used the words "amazing", "awesome", "blown away", and "wow" to the Samsung Gear VR experience. Your poor attempt to troll using stupid reviews doesn't really compare.

            "If you own a Samsung Galaxy 6 series phone then this is a no brainer purchase or gift to someone that has one. This is the best priced tech on the market. From the games to the media (that includes watching movies in a virtual movie theatre) this is an entertaining product. Blow away your family and friends while you sit back and watch the priceless reactions you'll get with this headset. That alone is worth the 100 dollars."

            "This may be the most awesome thing invented. All my work buddies are ready to trade in their iphones for galaxys. Ive owned other VR headsets when i still had my iphone. They dont even come close. If you are due to upgrade your phone and wanna try virtual reality. I highly suggest the Galaxy S7 and pick this up as an add on. You can thank me later."

            "I agree with all of the positive reviews about the WOW factor of this, and I can't imagine anything else one could buy for $99 and get so much enjoyment from. I ABSOLUTELY recommend this to everyone who has the phone ... In fact I think that it's so good that it would be worth buying the phone just to be able to experience!"

            "I'm am a huge "tech nut" and while I've always been kind of "meh" when it came to virtual reality the Samsung Gear VR just changed my mind. This tech is simply amazing to experience, and I can't help but smile each time I let someone else try it out. The look on their face and the reaction to what's going on inside the headset is priceless. If you have the required phone you need to get this headset anyway you can. If you have to wait a few weeks you will be glad you did once you strap it on over your eyes. Turning a 5.7" smartphone display into an 80 to 100 foot screen to watch a movie on is simply amazing, and this headset does it!"

            And there are over a thousand more of where those come from. You want more?

                Jovan, 27 Jul 2016So now you're speaking for the thousands of people who were... more"This lack of quality experiences is perhaps understandable when the headset is so much cheaper than its rivals, but whereas other headset demos have continually blown us away with their ingenious use of VR technology, our time with the Gear left us feeling distinctly unimpressed.

                What's more, we can't help but think this is the type of experience Oculus founder Palmer Luckey might have been talking about when he said that 'really bad VR is the only thing that can kill off VR'. The Gear VR might surprise us by becoming a mass market hit, but we fear its novelty factor will be pretty short-lived."

                Why i keep finding these all the times and yet you said everyone absolutely loves it?

Lol If people aren't tired yet from playing mobile games and watching videos from their phones I doubt they will ever be tired of playing VR games that the Gizmag reviewer refer to as " infinitely more mesmerizing than mobile games you'd play on your phone without a headset" and that "the Gear VR is following closer behind (the Rift) than you may expect". And of watching videos/films from their own virtual theatres or watching 360° videos where the resolution is actually the same from that of an Oculus Rift. Your unbelievable ignorance really need to stop or you should just go play with that revolutionary Apple Pencil of yours. lol What a typical Apple sheep you are.

                          Anonymous, 27 Jul 2016It means the focus is being shifted further to it. DuhSo please tell me how much more can it focus to it? Galaxy s7 is already giving free vr headset. So s8 will do what more? You sure don't seem to understand what my point is

                              The phones run vr well. Especially gear vr. Which also has one of the best if not the best looking vr experience display wise thanks to those wonderful high resolution and bright vivid Amoled displays. With all the black and contrast wonder. Or natural if you prefer.
                              There is a reason they are factually the best displays available in an mobile.

                              So try again

                                The biggest point with VR is it one week or one month fun or is it something which you can enjoy for long times. Currently it's not there, and if i want to experience VR for sure it's not with phones and 90's graphics. It would be with high end PC or gaming console where the graphics are awesome.
