Review on ๐Ÿ“ฑ Samsung Gear VR (2016) - Compatible with GS7s, Note 5, GS6s - US Version (Discontinued by Manufacturer) - With Warranty by Brandon Thompson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best VR solution at a low price!

AMAZING. Hundreds and hundreds of apps and features, most of which are free. Gear VR is your ticket to amazing new worlds, or a chance to see parts of your own earth where travel would be expensive or dangerous. I believe VR is the future of travel. Oculus has optimized its servers to stream almost any app or experience instead of having to download it, and it works very well - surprisingly well - can't recommend it highly enough. There are no cords or cords like the expensive PC viewfinders, and after trying them out I quickly realized that cords and cords are anathema to VR. It's certainly a sweet spot between the cheap Cardboard visors and the expensive Rift and Vive, but I find them to be the best bang for your buck. The Gear VR has its own set of sensors - much more accurate and smoother than a dumb visor like Cardboard or Daydream. Of course, you must have a Samsung Galaxy or Note smartphone, but you'll be completely blown away when you put your visor on and start exploring. Try JAUNT - this free app offers some of the most amazing movie-based virtual reality experiences.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Everything is fine
