Yes, no? Opinions?
I already have the phone to go with it, so it wouldn't be a crazy expense.

no wires=good
even less software=bad

Kinda wish my contract was up when they did the "free" gear VR with s7 (not that I will do the s7 after my note 4 battery crapped out on me, new battery was $15 and not even possible with new s7)

Definite yes if you have the S7, the S6 have overheating problems and don't run the more graphically intense games very well.

The tracking is very accurate without lag or bad battery drain. I can play 4-5 hours easily without plugging in.

Dead Secret and Smash Hit are my favorite so far, they have very different graphics styles but make such good use of the head tracking. It's up to about 80% of the rift experience with the newest iteration, right down to a very similar "launcher".

I have the s7e. How does it compare to the Vive tho?
I heard that the Oculus is shit wrt to the Vive
>>
>>54481377
I have the normal S6, is the overheating a problem?
I'm thinking of getting the Gears mostly for porn.

is it worth it?

I think they're pretty similar quality-wise, Vive just takes it further with the whole-room movement and motion controls. Last I heard, Samsung was working on their own motion controls.

Yeah they do, there's some ways to help prevent it though https://forums.oculus.com/vip/discussion/27568/consumer-vr-s6-heat-issue

I wouldn't worry too much if you aren't gonna be gaming.

Yes if you dont plan to buy a fancy expensive headset like oculus or vive. I have it for my Note 5 and its really amazing despite not being the latest hardware. I use it all the time. Sometimes I even use it for non-pornographic VR too.
>>
>>54480857
would this work with the edge?
>>
>>54482868

Yes, that's what I use it with. FOV makes it so the edge screen isn't even noticeable, at least with the S7E
