Review on 🔌 Buy SAMSUNG Gear VR w/Controller (2017) SM-R325NZVAXAR - US Version with Warranty by Wagner Witlin

I'll start with a quick overview of what types of VR headsets are currently available (if any you are familiar with them) and just want to read specifically about Gear VR, then scroll down to the Gear VR section). There are currently many virtual reality headsets on the market (Oculus Rift, PlayStation VR, HTC Vive, etc.). They typically fall into two categories: tethered and mobile. Tethered: Devices built from the ground up for VR. As such, they tend to have higher image quality than mobile VR headsets, but they require a fairly powerful machine to wirelessly connect and "tether" (like a PC or gaming system) to function. They also tend to be more expensive and can range from $300 to $800. Mobile devices: Imagine that the quality depends on the characteristics of the phone or the device you use in it. Because of this, the image quality isn't as high as tethered devices, but that doesn't mean they aren't impressive and engaging. They tend to be cheaper than tethered devices, ranging from $13 to $150. Mobile VR headsets are also incredibly convenient and portable (usually all you need is your phone and headset). Another feature not usually mentioned is that devices (like the Gear VR) have a phone casting feature that allows you to use almost all your phone apps and games through the headset (including text messaging, Spotify, Super Mario Run). . , Internet, Kodi, Youtube, etc.). Gear VR: I used this with my new Galaxy Note 8 and thoroughly enjoyed this little headset. For something similar to a face mask, it's quite comfortable and lightweight. Note, however, that if you are hot or sweating, the lenses may fog up as your body heat penetrates the headset. You can try taking it off and wiping the lenses, but it will keep fogging up until your face isn't giving off as much heat (so it might be best to just give yourself a few minutes to take it easy to cool off). Although the Gear VR comes with a touchpad remote, many games on the Oculus Store require the use of a Bluetooth wireless gamepad controller. So factor that into your budget if you intend to use the headset for gaming. At a reasonable price of $130, I was impressed with the image quality; Phone pixels are still somewhat visible, but this may continue to improve as phone screen resolutions evolve. Note. You can still charge your phone while using the device by plugging the charger into the charging port (USB-C) on the bottom of the headset. Overall I think this slim headset is a great product at a great price. . At a significantly lower price than HTC Vive and PlayStation VR, its features and quality couldn't fail to impress. You haven't seen a movie until you've seen it through a VR headset with quality in-ear headphones. It's like having the best theater seats but without an expensive ticket - all from the comfort of your sofa/bed/bus/plane/car! Bonus points for being able to watch movies next to someone in bed without disturbing them. Pros: • Relatively cheap for a VR headset • Can be used with your phone on the go • Comes with a wireless controller • Can charge your phone through the headset (wired) • Samsung PhoneCast lets you control most phone apps and games about the headset • Slim, comfortable and lightweight Cons • Lenses can fog up from heat • Many games require the purchase of an optional Bluetooth game controller • Image quality is not as high as more expensive VR headsets (like PlayStation VR and Oculus Rift) • Only works with Samsung's flagship phones (Galaxy Note 8 requires a separate version of the headset due to its size)
