Review: Love it. - I considered just buying an older version of this and just getting the new USB C adapter and remote separately but it worked out more expensive. You get everything u need in the one box in this kit. It's very well made and comfortable to use and I was really really surprised how good the motion tracking is on both the headset and remote. Screen resolution is OK but PSVR is probably better but for £100 and using a Note 8 this is really good. There is a surprising number of games, "experiences" and videos in the store and it was nice and easy to set up. I can highly recommend Netflix VR. Worked really well and one of the reasons i got this was so I can watch it on the VR while my Mrs watches rubbish on standard TV. :-) works really well.
Review: Excellent VR headset if you have recent Samsung smart phone - I used this Samsung Gear VR with my Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone and it's superb. The S8's OLED (not LCD) screen with high pixel count gives amazing results - better than Oculus Go and Google Cardboard etc. The bluetooth controller is useful but not always necessary and sometimes it's easier to just use touchpad on headset. The S8 has fast processor and works with hundereds of VR games. It also works with older Samsungs but the newer the phone the better. Great item but careful you don't break rear phone glass cover when attaching to hinge - i did after just a dozen uses.

### ⭐ Doesn't work 2023
*by W***D on 23 June 2023*

Don't buy this if you're looking for an easy VR experience, to get it to work since Facebook bought Oculus and support for this was abandoned is extreme effort... I've bearly been able to use it and since bought something else to replace it. Good kit, terrible apps and abysmal support to get it to work
