==Introduction==
[[Samsung Gear VR]] is a [[Virtual Reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Samsung]] and [[Oculus VR]]. Succeeding the [[Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition|Gear VR Innovator Edition]], Samsung Gear VR is [[Oculus Rift (Platform)]]'s first consumer mobile device and the 2nd device in the Gear VR series. To use Gear VR, users need to mount a 2015 or newer Samsung Smartphone inside it. The smartphone serves not only as Gear VR's screen but also as its computer. Unlike other mobile [[HMDs]], Gear VR does not solely rely on the smartphone's [[IMUs]] for tracking. It has additional IMUs and Oculus' [[rotational tracking]] technology built within, allowing for fast and accurate tracking of the user's head movements. While impressive, the current Gear VR does not possess [[positional tracking]].
*Note that all 5 phones have identical CPU and GPU.
