At £200 it’s a real bargain for such a powerful and well designed VR headset and gives you a standalone, self-contained VR console which does not require tethering to a PC or smartphone in order to operate – a major advantage. The outstanding Oculus Go is the real challenger here, though. Yes, it’s slightly cheaper than the Gear VR and works with a wider range of phones, but there aren’t as many games available for it on the Google store, and they aren’t as good. The Daydream View costs £99, the same fixed price as the earlier edition. This headset has also seen a recent update, although it wasn't as much of an overhaul as the Gear VR’s. First up is the Google Daydream View, originally launched in conjunction with the Google Pixel 2. In 2018, the Samsung Gear VR has two main competitors.
Samsung phones compatible with the Samsung Gear VR are as follows: Galaxy S9, S9+, Note8, S8, S8+, S7, S7 edge, Note5, S6 edge+, S6, S6 edge, A8, A8+.īest VR games 2019: Make the most of your VR headset with these great titles As mentioned, VR purveyors Oculus manufactured the Gear VR, which is why all the headset’s games are on the Oculus store.

The Gear VR is a Samsung-made virtual reality headset which requires a phone to operate - and specifically a Samsung phone.

When choosing VR, you have to weigh up three things: price, portability, and performance. The better the Samsung phone you’ve got, the better the Samsung Gear VR will be.

#SAMSUNG GEAR VR SUPPORTED DEVICES UPDATE#
Will Samsung continue to update its VR headset? One might argue that it doesn’t really need to because each new flagship Samsung phone will improve the display and performance of the Gear VR. The Gear VR has been updated twice by Samsung and has a price advantage if you already own a recent Galaxy S or Galaxy Note phone, but is Samsung still committed to Gear VR when Oculus seems to be exploring other options? While Google, Qualcomm and Lenovo are all working in the field, the biggest threat comes in the form of the untethered Oculus Go from Oculus the same company that partnered with Samsung to make the Gear VR in the first place. Since the Samsung Gear VR came out there has been a considerable increase in competition from other VR headset manufacturers. Our original review of the Samsung Gear VR continues below. Will there ever be a new Samsung Gear VR headset? We can only hope.

The Samsung Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus and upcoming Galaxy S10 5G all have HDR capabilities but there's no word yet on HDR content for the Gear VR. While many gamers were hoping for a 4th-Gen Gear VR headset announcement to go along with the Galaxy S10 launch it's promising that Samsung is at least keeping the device alive. As reported by Road to VR, the South Korean conglomerate confirmed that all four phones will operate with the latest Samsung headset thanks to an adapter that comes boxed with the Gear VR. UPDATE: Samsung has announced that its new Galaxy S10 handsets will all be compatible with the 3rd-Gen Samsung Gear VR headset.
