But of course, you will look cooler while wearing it with the cover. ?Īwesome Things You Can Do with your Samsung Gear VRįirst and foremost, after using the Gear VR for two weeks now, I could say that there are no photos or YouTube videos that can describe or show you what it feels like while inside the Gear VR. You can actually play with or without the cover because the clips are very sturdy. Here is the Gear VR after I put in my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ with my Samsung earphones. The left side of the Gear VR has no buttons, but the name and logo look very cool. More importantly, it blocks the light from coming in, so you can stay immersed in Virtual Reality without any distraction. It has Foam Cushioning that I really like because it is very soft and comfortable on the face.

It also has a microUSB charger port just right below the volume keys. I rarely use it because I prefer controlling the volume using my Samsung earphones. The volume keys are located just right in front of the Touchpad as shown below (image source: Samsung). The subtle bump above the Touchpad is the Back key. The Touchpad is also very useful for playing games.

You can swipe it up/down and left/ right, and you can tap on the middle when you want to select something. The right side of the Gear VR contains the Touchpad, which you can use to navigate the Gear VR menu and the installed applications. It simply physically moves the display slightly forward or backward from and to your eyes to get the best visual sharpness. The top of the device contains the Focus adjustment wheel. You can use it to adjust the clarity of what you see in the Gear VR. The front cover is glossy and the white body looks so clean. It looks a lot better in person compared to the pale pictures from the Samsung website. You will like the black and white color combination. The package contents include the Gear VR, main strap, top head strap, user manual, and warranty card. The packaging is pretty neat and the box with the device is so light to carry. Samsung partnered with Oculus in order to create this cool headset for the latest Galaxy smartphones. Oculus VR is a Virtual Reality technology company and they are the experts in their field. Unboxing the Samsung Gear VR (Consumer Edition)Īs you can see in the image below, it has the Oculus logo. It’s currently compatible with six Samsung Galaxy devices such as Note 5, S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, S7, and S7 Edge. The Gear VR (Consumer Edition) is the latest edition and it has better design and quality. You don’t want to mistakenly get the older versions as they are heavier, slightly lower in visual quality, and are only compatible with some Samsung Galaxy devices. The previous two are the First Innovator and Second Innovator Edition, which were released in 2014 and March 2015, respectively. The Gear VR is the third edition of Samsung’s VR headset. Product Name: Samsung Gear VR (Consumer Edition) Now, let me walk you through the unboxing, the awesome things you can do with it, the visual quality, the things that I like, and some of the issues raised by those who have already purchased it. How is Samsung Gear VR and what are the cool and unique experiences it can give to you? I got a hand of this cool product two weeks ago and I was able to use it with my Samsung Galaxy S6 Egde+ smartphone. The VR headsets are coming to every household and Samsung Gear VR is one of these few awesome gadgets. The year 2016 is probably the start of the Virtual Reality (VR) generation.
