Minor changes and updates to an already superior mobile VR experience ONLY if you own a Samsung Galaxy phone.

Minor changes and updates to an already superior mobile VR experience ONLY if you own a Samsung Galaxy phone.
UPDATE 10/07/2016As both an owner of the previous 'white' version of the Gear VR, as well as a dozen other mobile VR viewers, three iterations of the Oculus HMD, OSVR HDK 1.3 and 1.4, as well as few of my own designs including the upcoming NEODiVR uPLAy, I thought I'd throw in my two cents:Pluses* Lightweight (6.3 oz) durable plastic shell* Dark color scheme* Good seal to prevent external light* Sharp 40mm diameter PC or Acrylic lenses* Adjustable focus (approximate 40mm - 50mm FL)* External IMU (orientation tracker)* 60Hz low-persistence Refresh rate* Built-In touchpad Home & Return buttons and volume rocker all easily accessible (on the right side) with tactile differences between controls* External female USB-C jack built into the lower right side of the body* Lockable/removable USB-C (default) or micro USB male plugs to for either Galaxy S6, S7, S7 Edge, Note 5 and Note 7. It also works with the Note 4, but it is tight as mentioned elsewhere, and the geometric distortion compensation is not applied, giving it a slight "fishbowl" view when looking around. Also keep in mind that not all Gear VR content works with the Note 4 and it does under perform.* Phone cavity allows multiple Galaxy phones to used with little setup.* Soft terry cloth like material now wraps the facial foam cushion.* GearVR User Interface is easy to navigate allowing content be loaded and purchased without having to remove the headset.Minuses* Cannot be used with other phones outside the Samsung Galaxy family* Relatively bulky and definitely not something you can fit in your pocket.* Like other HMDs, perspiration and irritation to the skin maybe a problem after a few minutes.* Too much chromatic aberrations (color shifted edges on objects) even close to the center of the lens* Lenses are still too small to prevent "Binocular" effect* External 360 videos and images have to be stored in the Downloads folder of your phone.* Cannot load sideload GearVR apps without first being registered to that app at build time unless you use external "hack" apps* Cannot be used with Google Cardboard (or upcoming Google VR) apps without minor hacks (or removing the plug adapter). Unknown at this time if it will be Google VR compatible. UPDATE: it is not Google VR compatible.* Expensive, other quality mobile VR viewers from HOMiDO, BoBoVR, NEODiVR cost half as much.Personal OpinionIf you are interested in the top of the line mobile VR experience and you own a Galaxy S phone, it is a no brainer. With its sharper image, better 'Field Of View', fast external orientation tracker (yes it does make difference for heat related drift), and low persistence screen mode. It is the closest experience you will have to a PC based VR rig. With its built-in USB-C jack (and micro USB to USB-C adapter) you can use an external Li-Ion battery back either attached to the back of the head strap (my preference and will have a 3D printable bracket up on Thingiverse and Shapeways by 9/1/2016)) or in your pocket to ensure you don't deplete the internal battery. In saying that, I only used up 15% of my battery charge after an hour of watching videos, images and playing the "Suicide Squad' cell shaded video game exclusively available for the Gear VR only (it was fun and made use of the VR environment pretty well for fixed location shooter). Why the four stars then? I personally felt that they could have gone with larger lenses of 45mm or higher to reduce the binocular effect. But I understand why they didn't. With the Galaxy phones ranging in screen sizes from 5.1" - 5.7", the smaller screen with larger lenses would have showed the edges of the screen which would have destroyed its immersion quality. With this in mind, they made the correct choice in lens dimensions. It is also hard to to knock them for not making the Gear VR usable with other phones. But this is not really true if you remove the USB-C/micro USB plug adapter, you can fit another phone in the cavity, which I did with Nexus 6P. But without anyway to access the screen or a built-in touch button, your Google Cardboard type apps that require it, will be be unusable. I have not tried the app hack to allow the Note 7/Gear VR to be used with Google Cardboard to report on its viability, but will update this review a few days once I have. UPDATE: I have a very low cost capacitive switch so you enjoy Google Cardboard apps. You will need some double sided thin foam tape and 1/4" conductive tape, both can be purchased here at Amazon. Further info can be found on the 'All Things 3D' YouTube channel a month back.SummaryThe best mobile VR experience if you own one of the latest Galaxy phones and the ONLY Gear VR model that will work with the Note 7. The experience could have been improved with the Note 7 by making a specifically for it with even larger lenses, expanded screen cutouts to use the whole screen (I'd say you lose about 50 pixels between the left and right sides). There is also a general review of both the Galaxy Note 7 and the new Gear VR up on my YouTube channel 'All Things 3D' (youtube/allthings3d) where I show it in use with some actual screen views in operation.

2.0 out of 5 stars Samsung SM-R323: Buona qualità costruttiva del visore ma esperienza d'uso deludente...
Reviewed in Italy on October 23, 2018
Acquistato a poco più di 32 euro (Novembre 2018) venduto e spedito da Amazon, la prima delusione è arrivata alla consegna, non arriva nella confezione originale Samsung ma riconfezionato in uno scatolo anonimo di cartone e il visore avvolto in della carta da imballaggio (almeno nel mio caso), sembra quasi un prodotto proveniente dal warehouse pur avendolo acquistato come articolo nuovo.
Il visore ha l'attacco USB tipo C sostituibile con adattatore in confezione per attacco microUSB. Anche se da specifiche non è scritto, nel visore è possibile inserire tranquillamente un S8, S9 e persino le versioni plus in quanto io sono riuscito ad utilizzarlo con un Note 8 anche se in questo caso, date le sue dimensioni molto generose, con qualche difficoltà con la chiusura del fermo.
Se quindi possedete un S8 o S9 anche in versione plus potete acquistare tranquillamente questa versione (VR2 2016) risparmiando un bel po' rispetto alla versione 2017 (che oltre alle dimensioni superiori perde il bilanciere del volume avendo il remote controller), invece, nel caso del Note 8 avrete delle difficoltà ad inserirlo e consiglio la versione specifica per questo smartphone, versione 2017.
Il visore è fatto bene, si riesce ad interagire tranquillamente attraverso il touchpad e i tasti posti sul suo lato destro ed una volta indossato risulta essere abbastanza comodo.
Volendo si possono anche indossare occhiali da vista poiché c'è spazio sufficiente, ma in tal caso si va incontro all'appannamento delle lenti degli occhiali, comunque si può fare a meno di indossarli in quanto la regolazione della focale funziona molto bene, infine è presente un sensore di prossimità che spegne automaticamente il display dello smartphone quando il visore non è indossato.
Ciò che mi ha molto deluso è la qualità video, pur avendo settato il display dello smartphone alla massima risoluzione sono ben visibili i pixel persino guardando un video in 4k. Anche le scritte non sono sempre chiare, spesso si sdoppiano e dal colore bianco virano al rosa, ma cosa ancora più imbarazzante è la visione dei video/foto a 360 gradi che hanno una qualità davvero scarsissima.
Sinceramente mi aspettavo una risoluzione superiore dato che il Note 8 ha un signor display invece sono rimasto abbastanza deluso per cui è un acquisto che al momento non mi sento di consigliare.

Reviewed in Spain on December 21, 2017
Aun no puedo salir de mi asombro. Elegí estas porque era producto nuevo enviado y gestionado por Amazon y todavía no entiendo como ha podido llegar lo que he recibido. Las recibí en la fecha acordada pero la sorpresa al abrir la caja fue mayúscula. En la caja de cartón solo venía el cuerpo principal de las gafas, sin su embalaje original, sin instrucciones, sin la cinta de sujeción y sin nada mas. Ha sido todo una broma de mal gusto. Y lo peor de todo es que ya no podrán ser el regalo para el que estaban destinadas.
Estoy totalmente decepcionado con Amazon y espero que sepan compensarlo.
Lo siento por Samsung porque las gafas no he podido ni probarlas y no puedo opinar sobre su funcionamiento.
