Review: Beyond Amazing! - I’ve dreamed of owning a VR since I was a small child and although the Samsung Galaxy VR isn’t at the level of what you’d read about in Ready Player One, it’s amazing. The picture quality is astounding and many of the apps are free. There are a lot of paid apps and they tend to have better graphics than the free ones, but it’s still nice. The first Samsung Galaxy VR I got wouldn’t sync with my phone after a while. At first, I thought it was because the charging port of my phone got wet and I used the VR only 12 hours afterward. It should have dried in that time, so I thought it was maybe my phone. I returned the first one and got a replacement and it turned out the VR I’d gotten was defective, not my phone. So if it doesn’t sync, consider replacing the VR before doing anything to your phone. Pros: The main pros are that the price of the Samsung Galaxy VR is a lot less than Oculus (which is what it runs on). It comes with a controller, which is mandatory for some apps and games. It’s higher quality than you may expect. You can watch Netflix movies on it, or be placed into a virtual theater and watch movies as if you were the only one in the theater. You can visit outer space or the deep sea, fly a fighter jet, go to a Cirque du Solei performance, and lots more. Cons: You are limited by the battery life of your Samsung Device. My recommendation is to charge your phone to 100% if you want to enjoy your VR for a while. Otherwise, it can eat up your battery pretty fast depending on what app you’re using. Still, most of the time I can get 2-3 hours out of it easily if it’s charged at 100% when I start. You could be prone to nausea and headaches. They are listed side effects of the VR. It’s something you won’t know you have until you try it out. I’ve had friends try the VR just to discover that it gave them severe nausea. So I suggest going to a store that has one on display and trying it out before you buy it.
Review: A low vision resurrection!!!!! - What a find! I'm low vision (20/100-1 in the best eye, hand motion in the worst from ROP), and three weeks ago after looking at two HD camera based units that can run as much as $6500... I tried a Samsung S7 and Gear VR based brand that was awesome.... although they are the easiest the use and have the biggest field by far, and cost $2500, our insurance won't touch such items. (but would reimburse us) Still we didn't have the funds to get reimbursed with. Then as I was leaving the store where I tried this technology out at... a friend who drove me there suggested, "Why not build your own?" Well, we're both gear heads and don't let friends drive stock... I figured "Why not?" Then I heard this 'still small voice' later that night tell me I did not need to buy them.... and for two nights I wrestled with that thought.... like Jacob wrestling with God to get his blessing.... For after a lifetime of struggles and frustrations here is finally something that will be the biggest answer to any prayer I've ever prayed.... So I began looking up what Samsung is doing with low vision and discovered Relumino. They just released it last August.... and I had to find out more. What I discovered is absolutely mind blowing.... Using their Oculus app for the Gear VR to download Relumino through, all I needed was the headset and my S8+. Last week I ordered the Gear VR and it arrived at our post office on Good Friday. I couldn't wait to get to there in the morning to pick them up... it was like all my birthdays and Christmases all rolled into one... but since I'm ministry 30 miles away, I had to wait until later in the day to set it up... Then came the warfare.... an authorization code from Oculus failed to activate Relumino.... it took all of Saturday and part of Easter Sunday to sort out. After several calls, emails, and chats with Samsung and Oculus to end up with other bad authorization codes; my wife and I were just about to bag it. It was getting so unbelievable it even baffled the last (and very nice) Samsung US based customer service tech my wife talked to. So we decided to bag it, we were exhausted. But I just had to give it one more try... for this was Easter Sunday evening, right? I contacted Oculus one more time, and they sent me a new authorization code... all in caps... and it worked! Upon loading Relumino, which took only minutes; my vision went through a resurrection. What I could not read or see before I could with ease now! Hallelujah!!!!! I've never been able to read the address lines in doing emails... no matter what accessibility feature Microsoft had... Now I can! NO more tension headaches craning my neck!!!! I can read prescription bottles, the buttons on our microwave oven, and the date/date on my watch.... and that's at only x2 zoom. Another close up thing I've never been able to do I can do now: Read a pocket size Gideon Bible! (I cannot even do that with a 41 year old pair of telescopic glasses I had made for machine shop use!) And this is just the beginning.... from 5 feet away I can read several fridge magnets, read captions on TV as well as the words under station logos. Last night I was watching my wife on her Samsung and I could read the Samsung on her phone from 3 feet away. But the real fun was on Monday when I took the Gear VR and Relumino outside... now walking in them NOT recommended, but it is doable as long as the zoom is turned down and you are extremely careful. So for fun I cranked up the zoom to x8.... overkill... so I spun it down to x5 and could see a doorknob on a neighboring house from 200 feet away! Freaky! This was from our back deck... so then I turned around and with the zoom to x2 I could easily read the license plate on our truck from about 25 feet away... I could never do that before!!!! Right now I'm even using them in writing this review... what an awesome set up! And to tell the whole world that for $129 and the price of a case one can revolutionize their eyesight? That is noting short of miraculous! This Gear VR system just knocks low vision accessibility right out of the ballpark! But what's around the corner from Samsung will even blow this set up away... stay tuned!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the Gear VR compatible with Galaxy Active handsets?**
A: Gear VR is not compatible with Galaxy S6/S7/S8 Active smartphones. Gear VR is compatible with Galaxy Note8, Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy Note5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge and Galaxy S6 edge+.

**Q: How does this Note 8 Edition of the VR Headset differ from the previous Gear VR headset?**
A: This model of Gear VR offers the same great Gear VR experience but extends compatibility to now include Galaxy Note8. The volume adjustment rocker has been removed (you can still adjust volume using the controller or your phone).

**Q: How do I set up my Gear VR?**
A: Insert your compatible Samsung phone into the interchangeable USB-C or microUSB connector on front of headset – an audio cue will prompt you to remove your phone and follow on-screen instructions for installing the Oculus app and controller pairing.

**Q: Do I need a Facebook login in order to use Gear VR?**
A: No, when setting up your account, you can either connect your Oculus account to your Facebook account or setup a separate account by clicking the link at the bottom under 'Don’t Have Facebook?'

**Q: Can I adjust the image to make it sharper?**
A: Use the wheel on the top of the headset to adjust focus. The area inside the headset is also wide enough to allow most users to wear glasses inside of the headset comfortably. Adjusting where the headset sits on your nose can also improve clarity.

*by A***R on October 18, 2017*

Fast shipping, came in great condition. works well on my note 8, great fit. the controller is a very nice addition, almost all apps can take adventage of it, i think it help with the immersioin. my only dissapointement so far is that natively the gear vr dosn't work with google daydream.... you need a guenine google controller or an third party one with are hard to find. There is a way to dissable oculus package, by activation dev kit and downloading some emulator apk to remap the gear controller to a google one.... but its a pain in the ass, just make the gear vr works with daydream at first no?? all and all, great buy and its nice to share with people around what vr look like.
