Samsung strikes Oculus Rift back

Actually it can be called a blow below the belt because it is not a classic virtual reality helmet in a common sense. This is a simple trick that can be considered as genius.

Practically it seems to be a classic VR but in fact it is a bandage with a phone that works exclusively together with the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 smartphone. Gear VR is just an assembly of a separate parts to be paired together. To use the handset as a basis is truly a genius decision, isn't it? Especially if the screen resolution of the device allows you to use it at its full potential.

Speaking about the screen of Galaxy Note 4, it provides a better resolution than Oculus Rift Dev Kit 2 in its present version. Oculus certainly holds a number of benefits, such as elimination of motion blur and pesky nausea problems. Note 4 having a large number of pixels can not effectively do it. Maybe it was the key to a successful deal between Samsung with Oculus. But to having the phone separated  from headset is also worth something.

Gear VR also has a volume rocker, a small touchpad, and a back button. But Oculus Rift provides powerful graphics card for the same money amount. Therefore we can conclude that Samsung Gear VR will be great for videos and Oculus Rift for games. The price of helm only is $199, together with phablet which will cost less than $800 or $290 on-contract in U.S. it will cost $1000 lump sum.
