Your new portable VR buddy

The PhP 5,990 Gear VR (2017) now comes with a controller, making 360° content-viewing easier. Navigation is also doable on just the headset itself with the controls on the right side.

Powered by Oculus, low persistence minimizes motion blur to make the content still natural. Do note that compatibility is from Galaxy S6 onwards since it requires a Type-C port to sync with the phone.
