Q: QuestionFan and chargerI have 2 Gear VR Goggles and 2 Note 4s because I love them so much. But I want the Note 5. So will this new model fit the Note 5 and is it worth it. I heard the new models also have built in fans, charging ports and are lighter. Is this all true? Let me know please.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer This is the CONSUMER version of Gear VR. The last 2 were "Innovator" editions meant for developers.. It is BETTER.. Lighter with improved touch pad and a charging port.. They had a fan on the second Innovator but this ONE does not.. but there is NO fogging issue.. ALSO The Note 5 doesn't overhear until 1-2 hours, unlike when the Note 4 would within 10-20 minutes..
