It\u2019s a very impressive device as far as mobile VR headsets go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, one issue people have had with the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> edition of the Samsung Gear VR that came out in 2015 was that their phones were overheating. Virtual reality requires a lot of power so this does make sense. In response to that problem, Samsung released this <a data-amzn-asin=\"B01KPTSQ4W\" data-tcb-events=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01KPTSQ4W\/?tag=vrins-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Samsung Gear VR cooling fan<\/a>.

It attaches nice and easy onto your Samsung Gear VR so there isn\u2019t really any annoying set up involved. Just snap it on and get back to enjoying your virtual reality games or movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01KPTSQ4W\/?tag=vrins-20\" rel=\"nofollow\"><picture><source srcset=\"\/\/www.vrinsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/samsung-gear-cooler.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"\/\/www.vrinsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/samsung-gear-cooler.jpg\" class=\" sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Samsung Gear VR Cooling Fan Mounted onto Headset\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span><\/span><span data-value=\"5\" data-max=\"5\" title=\"5 \/ 5\" style=\"width:120px\"><span style=\"width: 120px;\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a very powerful fan but it still manages to be super quiet so you won\u2019t have to deal with any whirring sound interfering with your virtual reality experience. And since it very effectively keeps your phone cool enough while you\u2019re using it as a virtual reality device, you won\u2019t have to stop to let your phone cool down. Just keep on playing your games!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also designed with your phone in mind so even when you snap it on, you\u2019ll still be able to use the camera feature for when you\u2019re using an augmented reality app or just want to see what\u2019s in the real world around you without taking the headset off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the fan comes with its own <span>built in rechargeable battery <\/span>so after you\u2019re done playing, you can charge it up and have it ready for your next VR session.<\/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>The main potential drawbacks to consider before buying include the fact that you can\u2019t charge it while you\u2019re using it and it has very limited compatibility. If the fan\u2019s battery is low when you start, you can\u2019t charge while you\u2019re using it. This is a slight inconvenience but as long as you remember to keep it fully charged it shouldn\u2019t be a major problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><picture><source srcset=\"\/\/www.vrinsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/samsung-gear-cooler-design.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"\/\/www.vrinsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/samsung-gear-cooler-design.jpg\" class=\" sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Samsung Gear VR Cooling Fan Design\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also designed to fit only the Samsung Gear VR 3<sup>rd<\/sup> edition that came out in 2015.
