A: -It is lighter, about 8 grams lighter. -It has a 101 degree view vs the old 96 degree view. -It is a blue/black color instead of white. -It is compatible with the new note 7 through usb-c but is also backwards compatible with the included micro usb adapter with : Samsung Galaxy S6 Samsung Galaxy S6 edge Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Samsung Galaxy S7 Samsung Galaxy S7 edge -it also has longer strap's to help for wearing it, along with better, more comfortable padding around the eyes. - The touch pad is now flush with the rest of the unit and has a dedicated home button to return to the oculus home.
Q: Can you wear prescription eye glasses
A: Per Samsung's website on the product: "The next generation of Samsung Gear VR, powered by Oculus, has been upgraded with new and improved features: -Lighter weight so you can play and watch more comfortably -***Improved fit, including room for most eyeglasses and improved padding for extra comfort and durability*** -An upgraded touch pad that’s even easier to use" So it depends on the glasses themselves, but they did plan on the device being used with glasses.
A: This Gear VR (consumer version) is only compatible with S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+ and Note 5. I believe you can look up the Innovator Edition for compatibility with Note 4.
Q: how come i cant order this online or in a store?
A: Samsung was not prepared to meet the demand the GearVR ended up producing. At this point, they are back ordered everywhere.
A: 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..
Q: How do you play games with this?
A: Samsung makes a controller " out of stock everywhere" I bought a MOGO Pro Power ( Blue tooth) controller on rec from Samsung. also rec is Steel Series ( android ) Blue tooth
A: You can currently buy the Samsung controller for $59.99
Q: Is Oculus the only place to get apps?
A: Get the app sideloadvr and cardboard for gearvr and run Google cardboard apps.
