I suppose it's a "don't knock it 'til you've tried it"

If I hadn't borrowed my brother's GearVR I wouldn't think of upgrading. I'd pay the £120 to fix my screen (or not) and chill until the next big reason to buy a new phone.

I'd do S8 + GearVR for £700 (you US citizens get that deal), sadly it doesn't come bundled in the UK etc.

Disregarding that I am listing stuff that's exlusive to different platforms...

Bound is freaking incredible

Robo Recall is probably the best VR thing there and it's really game-changing

and sitting in your own cinema to watch Netflix is as great as people hype it up to be

I have a big tv

We buying phones based on VR? Damn, I feel old..ain't got a windows phone tho.

Get rid of this old fart

What browser do you use instead? Dolphin? LOL.

Firefox.

Sometimes the Samsung Internet. People love the private mode on that.

Samsung Email is also way better than Gmail.

What's up with Google Play Books, Movies, Newsstand, etc... Who uses that bloatware?

 

[Sch1sm]

I guess it's very preferential. VR hasn't wow'd me in any way. I've tried the Oculus and the Vive here in Toronto. It's cool, but I need it to be like 3-5 editions in 'cause I refuse to be the guinea pig to a new commercial tech.

Any mail client is superior to Gmail's if you use other mail services.

You're missing my point, though. I'm not saying that there aren't useless apps on primary Google devices. "I just mean you only get native Google apps in one case, and a whole lot of brand specific on top of the Google ones when it comes to LG/Samsung/HTC etc."

I implore you to ask for a demo if you're ever in a mall somewhere

My big brother is huge on VR, got the Rift, PSVR, GearVR etc...

He literally runs everything through his headset whether it's the Xbox One streaming via PC or straight from his 1080Ti and he plays games on the large screen in the headset. I can fully understand why.

Multiplayer gaming in VR is awesome too. It enhancing the escapism. There's only a couple of games that use VR to make it a better game... I've mentioned them.

I went through whole browser hopping — tried lots different ones. In the end, I just stuck with Chrome.
I don't mind Googles apps, but the phone makers/carriers kinda go to far with that stuff still.

VR won't takeoff until ti is wire free, and i not talking about slapping a phone into a cardboard box

I drove by a mall today, haven't been in one in a year

 

[The Faceless Master]

Is there anything worth getting VR?

All i see is fancy tech demos

Pretty much just that.

It's a lot cooler when combined with physical hardware, like at Samsung 837 in NYC.

 

[Hero Prinny]

I just use safari on my phone, i dont bother fucking with other browsers, but then again i only got limited space so maybe that's why

It's the space, otherwise I'd just use Chrome, no word of a lie.

I mainly use my phone as an ereader

FTFY

But every year it is the year of VR. Home 3d TV should have been sign at how VR was going

 

[Izuna]

My phone is strictly Word, Excel, internet and music.

Camera for holidays, but I'd have an alternative anyway.

Too tiny
Just get the cheapest strongest tablet

 

[Malyse]

VR is the new 3D is the new motion controls.

 

[Izuna]

For me, VR has already made it, haha

That being said, if iPhone 8 had something like GearVR... I'd throw my money at an Apple Store clerk

Certainly my main use, yeah. Phone calls/music. Obviously the browser doesn't hurt, but I have a tablet for that..

[The Faceless Master]

I use my phone for everything.

The Gear VR is a nice diversion, a nice distraction, and now with the Gear 360 camera, a nice 360 degree viewer...

It's held my attention for longer than my 3DTV has!

 

[Sch1sm]

I swear this post wasn't there before Sch1sm's. Are you a wizard?

The only logical answer is he has a genie.

Since I have an iPhone and a MacBook, I rarely ever use my phone. Minute I. hop off either of these, the lack of continuity and handoff will force me to actually use the device. Then I'm gonna have to invest in a wicked good portable charger, 'cause lord knows the batter ain't taking me anywhere.

True words. VR will be a hard sell without groups of people experiencing it at the same time simultaneously.

I have a free VR with this pixel and it's still in the box.

Yeah, it's going to need more time, effort and some killer apps and it'll still be a tough sell. It's still a few hundred bucks in extra hardware? Pass.
