According to Trusted Reviews, the Samsung Gear VR was launched the same time Samsung released its Note 7. It is important to note that it was nothing but sheer coincidence. It is obvious that the Samsung Gear VR doesn't only work with Note 7, but is good with Samsung Galaxy devices.

The Samsung Gear VR features a new external port. This port enables the gamer to attach further accessories to the unit directly. This includes plug-in game controllers and even cameras such as the Gear 360.

The Samsung Gear VR USB Type-C plug can be replaced with a micro-USB version. It only requires snapping out one adaptor and slide in another. This makes it easy and hassle free for gamers using the device.

With the holidays around the corner, the Samsung Gear VR is considered a good gift especially to those who are into gaming. The device gives a gamer the feel of using an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive.

As added by PC Mag, the Samsung Gear VR uses Galaxy smartphones with 2560 x 1440 screens. The Gear VR has to adjust to work with various Galaxy phones. The Gear VR's graphics do look smooth and the internal motion sensors are considerably accurate. However, the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive is still considered better and has more advanced visuals.

Samsung also partnered with Oculus to produce the Samsung Gear VR and software is available through the Oculus app. This automatically gives the device a good head start as Oculus is a well-known VR headset manufacturer.

The Samsung Gear VR is not only ideal for gamers. This device is also advisable for those who are into watching movies, especially through Netflix. The device was able to hold up to the demands of watching. It also makes extra comfortable without the presence of any wires.
