Not only is it capable of doing far more, it\u2019s also becoming possible to make it super affordable and to enable even simpler devices (like your smartphone) to become virtual reality devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-amalinkspro-legacy-insert-imagelink-html aligncenter amalinkspro-image-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B074GB37V8?tag=vrins-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alp-img-link\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/5132xBxTp1L.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Gear VR w\/Controller (2017) SM-R325NZVAXAR (US Version w\/Warranty)\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The products in the market today range from super high end (and super expensive) virtual reality headsets that act as complete VR systems to low end headsets that are literally made of cardboard. So you, as a consumer, are blessed with quite a few choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><picture><source srcset=\"\/\/www.vrinsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/samsung-gear-vr-1.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"\/\/www.vrinsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/samsung-gear-vr-1.jpg\" class=\" sp-no-webp\" alt=\"White Samsung Gear VR on Display\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Samsung has recently entered the virtual reality market with a <span>low cost and feature rich product<\/span> that will let you experience virtual reality without paying the steep prices of a high end device. In this article, you\u2019ll learn more about the main benefits of drawbacks of the <a data-amzn-asin=\"B01HU3J9QA\" data-tcb-events=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01HU3J9QA\/?tag=vrins-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Samsung Gear<\/a> virtual reality headset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_It\"><\/span>What is It?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-amalinkspro-legacy-insert-imagelink-html aligncenter amalinkspro-image-link\"><a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alp-img-link\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51UjF0lyOCL.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we talk about the pros and cons of this device, it is important to be clear about what it actually is. In the virtual reality market, there are a few different ways that virtual reality experiences are created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the higher end, you have high tech headsets that come with built in displays, audio, and motion tracking abilities. The Samsung Gear is not that. It is a <span>mobile VR headset <\/span>which means it is designed to be used with a smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So rather than a full-fledged VR headset, this product is more like a head-mounted case for your phone so that you can use your smartphone as a virtual reality device. That means that the visuals and tech will be as good as your smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><picture><source srcset=\"\/\/www.vrinsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/samsung-vr-s6.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"\/\/www.vrinsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/samsung-vr-s6.jpg\" class=\" sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Man Using Samsung Gear VR with Samsung Galaxy S6\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to be aware of this distinction. Because if you buy this expected a complete VR device in its own right, you will be disappointed. However, if you know what you are buying and you are in the market for a mobile VR headset, this is going to be one of the best options you can choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there are many great reasons to opt for mobile VR rather than a fully developed VR system. We\u2019ll look at some of those benefits as well as the benefits that are specific to this particular mobile VR headset below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits\"><\/span>Benefits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-amalinkspro-legacy-insert-imagelink-html aligncenter amalinkspro-image-link\"><a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alp-img-link\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41ys7w8FB1L.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are cheaper mobile VR options out there, this is the <span>best one for your money <\/span>and it is a great affordable alternative to high end VR systems. So if you\u2019re looking for a budget friendly option that still has some decent features, this is it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s pretty much ready to go right out of the box. All you have to do is plug in your compatible phone and mount it. And, best of all, it uses software that was developed by Oculus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><picture><source srcset=\"\/\/www.vrinsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/oculus-rift.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"\/\/www.vrinsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/oculus-rift.jpg\" class=\" sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Man Using Oculus Rift VR\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Oculus is the company behind the state of the art \ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeffOculus Rift\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff, a very high end VR headset that creates one of the most immersive virtual reality experiences you can get today. <span>Samsung partnered with Oculus <\/span>to develop a lower end, simpler version of their VR software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you know you are getting something that was developed by quite possibly the most respected name in virtual reality today. The software enables 360 degree panoramic virtual views and loads of cool games and videos\u2014although the content is somewhat limited since it is still pretty new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n\t\t    \t\t\n\n\t\t    \t\t\n\n\n\n\t\t    \t\t<div class=\"amalinkspro-showcase aligncenter apilink yesprime amalinkspro-showcase-4 alp-load-api\" data-alp-showcase-id=\"4\" data-alp-img=\"LargeImage\" data-alp-asin=\"B074GB37V8\" data-alp-hide-prime=\"\" data-alp-hide-image=\"\" data-alp-hide-price=\"1\" data-alp-hide-button=\"\" style=\"max-width:750px;\">\n\n\t\t    \t\t\t\n\t\t\t    \t\t\t<div class=\"amalinkspro-showcase-stats-col amalinkspro-showcase-stats-col-img\">\n\t\t\t                    <span class=\"alp-showcase-img-wrap enabled-img\">\n\n\t\t\t                    \t\n\t\t\t                    \t\t<!-- <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"amalinkspro-license-loading-gif\" src=\"\/wp-admin\/images\/loading.gif\" alt=\"loading\" \/> -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"alp-showcase-img-link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B074GB37V8?tag=vrins-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/a>\n\n\t\t\t                    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t                <\/div>\n\n\t\t                \n\t\t                <div class=\"amalinkspro-showcase-stats-col amalinkspro-showcase-stats-col-info\">\n\t\t                    <a class=\"amalinkspro-showcase-4-titlebox \" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B074GB37V8?tag=vrins-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Samsung Gear VR w\/Controller<\/a>\n\t\t                    <div class=\"showcase-4-features\">\n\t\t                    \t\n\t\t                    \t\n\t\t                    \t\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"alp-showcase-spec-val-editable\">Be transported to amazing new worlds, in games, video and images. 360\u00b0 experience.

Cardboard, for example, doesn\u2019t have a head strap so you have to continuously hold it up to your face like a view finder or a pair of binoculars. Samsung\u2019s headset does come with a head strap so you can actually wear it and keep your hands free to wave around excitedly about your new VR headset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as the cheaper mobile VR headsets go, this is definitely <span>one of the best built products<\/span> you can find. It\u2019s got a great design and it is made of durable materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gear VR does a little more than just hold your phone to your face. It also comes with a control panel on the side featuring buttons to help you navigate your apps while the phone is mounted inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-amalinkspro-legacy-insert-imagelink-html aligncenter amalinkspro-image-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B074GB37V8?tag=vrins-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alp-img-link\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/5132xBxTp1L.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Gear VR w\/Controller (2017) SM-R325NZVAXAR (US Version w\/Warranty)\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The first Gear VR only worked with one specific model of Samsung phones. That meant it was of extremely limited use. If you wanted to enjoy the headset, you had to also buy that specific phone. This newer release is compatible with more models (but still only Samsung\u2019s phones).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can charge your phone while it\u2019s in the headset. This is a nice little perk because virtual reality software can be a huge drain on the battery. This way, you get uninterrupted gameplay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, it\u2019s pretty much the best product in the mobile VR market right now. It\u2019s nowhere near the quality level of a high end fully functional VR headset but it\u2019s not meant to be. <span>It\u2019s meant to be the affordable alternative <\/span>that still offers an enjoyable virtual reality experience and it does exactly that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, there are some drawbacks that come along with it. So keep reading to make sure it is definitely the right choice for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drawbacks\"><\/span>Drawbacks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the newer release has been made to fit with a few more phones than the first Gear VR, you are still limited. If you don\u2019t already own one of the <span>6 compatible Samsung phones<\/span>, you\u2019ll have to buy one, which will end up making the total amount spent around the same as what you would spend on a fully developed high end virtual reality system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><picture><source srcset=\"\/\/www.vrinsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/samsung-vr-compatibility.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"\/\/www.vrinsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/samsung-vr-compatibility.jpg\" class=\" sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Samsung Gear VR Next to Galaxy Note5 Galaxy S6 edge+ Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the new phone can also be used as a phone so if you\u2019re in the market for a new one anyway, this might not be a problem. Samsung phones are great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you hear that Oculus developed the software, you might assume that the amazing games available for the Rift will also be available for the Gear VR. But that is, unfortunately, not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s plenty of fun and impressive content that does work on the Gear VR but most of the Rift\u2019s PC games are not compatible with the mobile software they created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something like the Rift or the Vive will just do a much better job of drawing you into the virtual world and making you feel like you are really there. The Gear VR is a much more limited version of that experience. It does have the <span>ability to pair with a Bluetooth game controller <\/span>but it\u2019s still not as immersive. But the fact is, if you want full immersion, you have to go for a high end device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these drawbacks can be significant\u2014especially the fact that it\u2019s only compatible with a few specific phones\u2014it is still a great option. Unless you are determined to get the most advanced VR system available, you can get the Gear VR and be perfectly happy with what it is capable of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><picture><source srcset=\"\/\/www.vrinsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/samsung-gear-vr-phone.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"\/\/www.vrinsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/samsung-gear-vr-phone.jpg\" class=\" sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Man Using White Samsung Gear VR With Compatible Samsung Phone\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not perfect but it will give you a nice introduction into the possibilities of VR at a price that is much more affordable. So if you ultimately decide it\u2019s not your thing, you haven\u2019t gone bankrupt in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you don\u2019t already have a Samsung phone that is compatible, the initial investment is higher. So if you\u2019re going to have to buy a new phone as well, we recommend <span>doing your research into the compatible models <\/span>and making sure it\u2019s a phone you would be happy to own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it\u2019s definitely not really worth buying a new phone that you only use for virtual reality. If you\u2019re spending that much money just for virtual reality, you might as well look toward the high end models that offer a much more immersive and high quality VR experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Verdict\"><\/span>Final Verdict<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many great reasons to buy this virtual reality headset from Samsung. For one, it\u2019s very affordable even for those on a budget. It\u2019s a lower investment than buying a full VR system and this can be a major factor for those who aren\u2019t yet sure they\u2019ll use virtual reality often enough to justify the high price of a high end device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01HU3J9QA\/?tag=vrins-20\" rel=\"nofollow\"><picture><source srcset=\"\/\/www.vrinsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/samsung-gear-VR.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"\/\/www.vrinsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/samsung-gear-VR.jpg\" class=\" sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Black Samsung Gear VR Design\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span><\/span><span data-value=\"4\" data-max=\"5\" title=\"4 \/ 5\" style=\"width:120px\"><span style=\"width: 96px;\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That leads to the second reason to go with the Samsung Gear VR.
