Samsung Gear Gen 2 Virtual Reality (UK Version)

Well after my experience with another products for "VR" I did not hold any high hopes for this but frankly I was BLOWN AWAY. This is as close as you can get to VR without investing in to HTC VIVE, OCULUS or another PC connected VR sets. Sure it does not have the full on features (free movemet and hand controlers) but other than that this is absolutly stunning piece of kit. All responses are swift and it have very decent field of view. I used it for watching some movies and it was ok. I also use it for some flight sims and space sims as it work marvelously if oyu get the right software and have good router. Some games are really fun like "Keep Talking and nobody explodes" which me and my GF love to the bone. Also there are some Online games like "Wands". And the peak of it all are roller coasters. You can be sure your VR is of good quality when you sit in virtual cart on VIRTUAL roller coaster and it gives you wertigo from hight or when your stomach drops as you get over the peak of hill and ojn your way down. As last thing there is horror apps and games and I can tell you it is freaking terrifying. Over all I woud recomend this to anyone with Samsung S6 or S7 (any lower is just not good) you will have tons of fun for your £££. However I was lucky and get this for around £40 and I know I would not buy it for full price (that is just the type of tight ass I am :)

This device is amazing, fits my samsung s7 perfect. So easy to use just plug your phone in the vr, push down the button clip that says A B and slide towards your phone and it adjust to fit and hold your phone in place, when your phone is connected to the vr it automatically comes up on your phone and tells you what to do next, its as easy as that. The thing that bothered me before buying was how would you move around in the games did i need a controller ? No you dont the vr as a touch pad at the side of the vr and back button also zoom to adjust for your eyes. Most games and apps you will use the touch pad and others you move around with a tiny white dot infront of you or some times it tells you to look at something and you will move. You dont even need to charge the vr it uses the battery from your phone it can drain your battery thats only because i cant keep of it, you get a connection thing that comes with the VR so you can charge your phone when its in the VR. It will make your eyes go funny after first use, but after that its no problem your eyes adjust. the head straps all adjust so no matter how big or small your head is it will fit. I find it very comfortable to wear. Do be warned of hunted house game and face your fears it is most definitely a very real feeling i nearly broke the VR and my phone but luckily when i jumped out my skin i was near my settee so saved my vr. One more thing if your not good on rollercoasters like me and you go on the VR rollercoasters it made me feel sick and dizzy..i know im sounding like a real wimp but this does feel so real you will not be disappointed at all.

Great, high-quality VR set for reasonable price. I would definitely recommend Gear VR if you own S6/S7 mobile already. (also it should be S8 compatible, but I didn't have a chance to test it yet) It's a full scale VR experience - 360 videos, 3D apps, your own virtual cinema for the movies. Virtual cinema looks really impressive, like a huge screen. Pros - Technical quality is excellent. - A lot of free content in Oculus store and Samsung VR. - If you have DLNA-compatible media center, you can play your content through Samsung VR (you will need to manually enable DLNA in Samsung VR app settings). Cons - It works with topline Samsung mobiles only (S6 and up). - The premium content in Oculus store might look expensive, few times more than an average Android app. - Cardboard compatibility issue - though it is possible to run cardboard applications, it requires some tech tricks and workarounds. Tips - Swinging chair is the most comfortable option. - Battery life: my S6 lasts about 1.5-2 hrs, going from 100% to 10%. Summary: It's a fantastic VR experience. I would give it 5 stars if it had an official Cardboard support. PS. I received a Chinese version (box and manual) for some reason, though the hardware itself works fine and all apps are in English.

Amazingly good "ghetto" VR. Strap your phone into it, the built in lenses and side track pad let you see and interact with the world. It's slightly grainy due to zoomed in phone display... but perfectly acceptable, for 1/10 the cost of the Occulus Rift (if you already have the phone). The head tracking and stereo effect is extremely good. No motion lag so no motion sickness (for me at least). Good range of games and experiences, they're actively working on more. When Amazon stocks the new Samsung VR controller I'll get that too. Note: I used with Samsung S6. S7 probably better, Note 5, check the specs. The phone does overheat in use! You can plug in to keep it charged, but my phone did overheat after a while (causing a warning on the display, and the update rate to drop). I've heard of people strapping icepacks in place to slow this, and it does work but isn't recommended due to water ingress risk. I'll be adding a small fan. If you want to dabble with VR and you have a compatible phone, this is a nobrainer.

My first experience with VR - it's pretty good but must note the apps are expensive and it probably benefits now from controllers too that I haven't got. Most of the free apps are short tech-demos in reality and not much staying power if any. Could be a great thing if you are into gaming and don't have a PC / console I guess. Also believe you can watch netflix through it but given that it heats up phones over time and can get a bit sweaty / uncomfortable after 45 mins - 1 hour I can't imagine this is much fun. I expect the next wave of VR headsets will be much better

I have to say this is a fantastic bit of kit, I'd been umming and arring about taking the plunge thinking it was just a gimmick, but WOW, it is so good. Very intuitive, however the bundled game of a roller coaster left me feeling nauseous and I only checked that out for 5 mins max, took me over an hour to recover. Also as I have a Netflix account I put the app on the phone and used that to watch some of my films, the only problem is it kept creeping to the right very slowly which meant I had to keep changing my seat, I need to find out what was wrong? And as I am also a Amazon Prime customer I wanted to put that app on too, but so far I haven't got it to work? All in all though, I'd recommend a quick test, then you'll want one! Check out the many useful reviews on YouTube and some of the hints too. I loaded some of my Bluray films onto my SD card and that works great.

Pretty good. Prettyyyy prettyyyyyy pretty good. I have the PSVR and this and I have to say this gets used a lot more. Much easier than all those cables on PS4 although you lose the axis movement. Picture quality is comparable. Fits snuggly with my S7 Edge, although I'm always weary of the USB connection when clicking phone into place. The phone will get hot too. The Oculus environment is fair and there's plenty free and plenty to buy. Netflix is slightly disappointing, but that's because the app is limited by the company to 480p. It's interesting to read why too. All in all a great buy for the thirty quid. I want to buy the 360 camera and the remote control now...!

Probably a good product, but I'll never get to try it as it has the Micro USB adapter only. Don't believe the description, this is not compatible with a Galaxy S8. They give a Micro USB to USB C converter, which when attached doesn't allow the S8 to fit!! Why ship with the converter at all? What handset would that possibly be for if the S8 doesn't even fit?? Ridiculous. I will now have to try source the adapter I need at a cost. Very annoyed.

Me encanto no se porque no me lo compre antes muy buen producto precio moderado y una calidad muy buena .Un montón de aplicaciones video yotube juegos me ha sorprendido el contenido y lo bien que esta hecho Recomiendo sobre todo el mando nuevo imprescindible

Ottimo prodotto. Arrivato in condizioni intatte in scatola nuova e sigillata. Nella confezione sia attacco micro-isb sia tipo-c ed anche un'adattatore micro-usb/tipo-c. Comprando il controller a parte mi sono ritrovato con la stessa configurazione del modello 2018 pagando quasi la metà. Consigliato, ma fate attenzione a controllare se il vostro dispositivo non sia troppo spesso, il mio s8 si incastra senza problemi.

Produit livré rapidement et en bon état. Si vous avez un Samsung, c'est le gadget idéal pour faire connaissance avec la VR. Il est compatible aussi bien avec les S6 et S7 qu'avec les S8, même si ce n'est pas écrit sur la boite. Bien sur ce n'est pas un casque de VR pro, mais c'est bluffant ! A utiliser toutefois avec modération après les repas.

Alles perfekt. Habe sehr lange gezweifelt aufgrund der Bewertungen. Bei mir war ausreichend Platz zur Nase im Gegensatz zu allen anderen billig VR Brillen die fast so viel wie diese hier kostet. Apps runterladen von Samsung und schon kommt man in die VR Welt. Die Ränder sind perfekt man fühlt sich wie in echt. Apps sind kostenpflichtig aber gut umgesetzt. YouTube und allgemein Filme machen mega Spaß. Das alles auf dem S7 Edge.

Condizioni ottime, bellissimo e funzionale. Da provare assolutamente a questo prezzo davvero coveniente, unica pecca non è presente una custadia per riporlo
