    I have a few small problems it makes the phone heat up extremely fast and can be very laggy when using it. I wish there were more games available that seemed realistic. This head set is a lot of fun at family get togethers.

    I did not know what this was when it came with my promotion, it took a couple of days to figure it out but when I did I was blown away with so much excitement that I took it to work to show one person what I was talking about ,by the end of the week by word of mouth on my 30 minute lunch break ,I stood out in the parking lot with a line of coworkers wanting to experience the gear vr.

    The VR functions as it should. Coupled with a 360 camera the VR is great for virtual memories! However, the (free) content is behind in quality. In my opinion, this is not for consumers with vertigo or balance issues. After wearing this for a few minutes I became dizzy.
