    Take a little getting used to. If you have issues with motion sickness you may want to skip trying.

    I bought this to use it with my Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge for watching 3D movies and VR Movies but the truth is that the resolution of the image is not what I expected so I returned it. For some applications like some games this Gear VR could be good but don't expect high resolution on the image, you'll be able to see the pixels on text and image.

    I bought this VR for my wife and she simply loves it. The only negative is that she is always using it and I never get a chance to try it out myself!
