Is there a reason I cannot use my S6 with the Gear VR? I am thinking since I cannot use a case (and am keeping my S6 as a backup device) why not use the S6 for most of the Gear VR stuff (movies mostly)? Watching videos it will fit, do I need LTE? I think Wifi will be fine....
It will overheat t0o fast. You can probably get away with just regular movies. But watching VR movies will make the S6 overheat after around 20 minutes. Wifi will be fine for streaming.

I recently bought a nice google cardboard cross oculus style chinese knock off. The lenses and fit are quite good for the low price point. Far better than the comical cardboard diy.
The only problem with buying this instead of the gear vr (not available locally) is that there is no content. So probably a dumb questiom but How hard would it be to rip the microsd card content from the grar vr and port it to cardboard? I know theres only a few apps and its almost all demos.. as i already have a note 4, it seems as if it shouldnt be too difficult to get some of these vr experiences working even if its with more limited sensors.
Possible? Pipe dream?
Your best bet is to ask twistedumbrella as he has the vr and is developing for it
You can get the Gear VR installer here but the problem is that the software is trying to detect a Gear VR and won't do much after installation.

No it doesnt
You need a gyroscope sensor to use VR but the J3 doesn't have one unfortunately
So I bought an S8 and I am quite happy (my only complain is that the touchscreen is not as responsive as the HTC 10)
I tried it on my Fiit VR with AAA VR player and it went 100% full-screen + edges!!
Yes the picture quality is better than with the LCD of HTC 10, but not tremendously better.
I could buy a used Gear VR for S8 next month, though even used they don't come cheap (80$), so is there a better image quality than with a Fiit VR or any good Cardboard headset knowing in the end it's the same S8's screen that will play the movies?
Again it's for VR movies only that I ask, not for games
Hi,
I'm looking to upgrade my trusty Nexus 7 (2013). I've been watching some HEVC / H.265 compressed TV shows / movies recently and the Nexus can't seem to cope any longer. This tablet seems like a good buy at under £200. I was also looking at the Huawei Mediapad M3 Lite and Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus, all around the same price. I like the fact the screen can go over 500nits and I've got a Samsung S8 which I'm really happy with.
Would anyone recommend this as a good media consumption device? It'll mainly be used for Plex, Netflix and playing TV/Movies from the SD card. Can it play 1080p HEVC compressed files without a hitch? That's the deal breaker for me. I think this Exynos chip can decode H.265 native but I'd like to know what real-world use is like before investing.
Thanks in advance.
I have played HD Bluray 1080p on my Tab A 10.1 with s Pen. It plays it fine using VLC video player app. If I use the stock video app, I get no sound. I have both tablets: Tab A 10.1 & Tab A 10.1 with S Pen. The S pen version has a slightly bigger battery and 3 GB of ram. It's really difficult to kill the battery all in one day of use. I'm not a heavy user, so I rarely charge it.
Hi guys
I loved to watch movies with my s10+ on my Gear Vr

You can still get a cheap universal VR headset and use your S20 inside that for viewing videos
