    Worked fine on my S7 edge. However, pictures were so grainy, which really showed how much the resolution needs to improve for a VR experience. Ended up returning but wouldn't mindgetting a similar one when I upgrade my mobile (my current one is on its last legs).

    Once I upgraded my cell, I had to pick this up. Wow, what a great picture and with the right headphones it's totally awesome. But if you are getting this, you have to pick up a camera lens type cleaning kit. Also a case wouldn't hurt.

    Very fun and low cost way (if you already have a Samsung smartphone that is compatible) to get into VR. Unfortunately, limited selection of apps/games, but the ones that are available are pretty fun. Does allow for play with others who have higher end commercial VR systems (Oculus).

    Works great with my note 9. Only complaint was I ordered it open box in "excellent" condition which meant it was supposed to include everything including the remote but the remote was missing. They gave me a credit and I was able to order one separate on Amazon.
