What does Samsung Gear VR compare to Sony PS VR?

For a friend who wants to experience virtual reality, whether to choose a low-cost mobile VR or a more expensive professional virtual reality device is a question that is more entangling. However, even if you plan to start, devices such as the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift are not only expensive, but they also have very high configuration requirements for the PC. In fact, there is also a compromise of choice, that is Sony's PlayStation VR.

Samsung Gear VR and Sony PSVR

The PlayStation VR is less expensive than the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift, but it also provides a reasonably good virtual reality experience. Through the cooperation with the PS4, not only the installation setup is simple, but there is no space limitation, and the virtual reality experience is also close to that of the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift.

However, if you want a cheaper option, then you can consider moving a virtual reality helmet, and Samsung Gear VR is a representative. Gear VR is not only time-to-market, but also proves that virtual reality can also be portable, widely used, and inexpensive. So if you don't plan to spend too much money but want to experience high quality virtual reality, let's take a look at which of the Samsung Gear VR and PlayStation VR is more suitable for you.

Gear VR

Design and wear comfort

The Sony PlayStation VR looks very strange, but very futuristic. Overall it is not very different from the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. The blue LED on the PlayStation VR not only looks cool, but it is also a tool for position tracking. And the combination of black and white shows Sony's expertise in industrial design.

Although there is a need to connect a cable behind the PlayStation VR, it does not have much impact on the wearer, does not affect the range of motion, and does not add extra weight.

The PlayStation VR's weight of 610 grams is not as easy to slip down to the tip of the pen as other high-end virtual reality devices, even if it is worn continuously for more than an hour. Although the PlayStation VR does not have a camera to let us directly see the real-world environment, there is a button on the bottom of the PlayStation VR that allows you to adjust the screen position back and forth to find the most suitable angle. The entire PlayStation VR is quite comfortable to wear. Basically, all users can find the most comfortable way of wearing with short adjustments.

The Samsung Gear VR is much lighter than the PlayStation VR, but considering this is a mobile VR headset, it is not surprising. However, if the smart phone is stuffed in, the weight will increase a lot, but the overall impact is not too great. Compared with the previous generation Gear VR, the latest Gear VR has increased in size, mainly for adapting some large screen models.

As a mobile VR device, the Gear VR is not tied to any cable, so it is more portable and requires only one Samsung smartphone, unlike the PlayStation VR, which has to connect to the PS4 console. In terms of wearing comfort, Gear VR is also soft enough, and it gives the user wearing glasses plenty of space and diopters.

The PlayStation VR is relatively more professional, and the Gear VR has more freedom. Both are very good in terms of wearing comfort.

screen

The PlayStation VR is equipped with a 5.7-inch 1920 x 1080 pixel OLED display, with a resolution of 960 x 1080 pixels per screen. At the same time, in order to reduce the phenomenon of visual fatigue, Sony has a very high refresh rate for the PlayStation VR, reaching 120Hz, which is better than the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.

However, in some game scenarios, users occasionally have some vertigo problems. In addition, there will be a slight grid-like screen effect in the operation of the system interface menu, but it is basically not visible on the game screen.

The PlayStation VR has a field of view of 100 degrees, which is smaller than the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, and even smaller than the Gear VR.

The screen configuration of the Gear VR depends entirely on which smartphone is used. Its field of view is 101 degrees, which is only one degree greater than that of the PlayStation VR. Therefore, the visual effect of the Gear VR can basically be seen as a unified level. Not great.

Sony PS Move Controller

Controller

There is no controller in Gear VR's packaging, but now there are many third-party products to choose from. However, this means that users need to spend an additional cost of 20 to 50 US dollars. In addition, there is a touchpad on the Gear VR, which allows for the control of some small games and basic navigation operations. For some sophisticated mobile games, it is best to use a Bluetooth-connected controller.

The PlayStation VR has a Move controller and is a pair. It also requires the PlayStation Camera to be positioned. These are the necessary accessories for using the PlayStation VR, but it's no surprise that the PlayStation VR is even better at tracking results.

game

Current Gear VR game content is not too much, and Sony has already begun to provide a lot of games for the PlayStation VR to choose from, and also includes a variety of short films, applications, and always updated and increased. With Gear VR, users can choose to slowly increase their games, and most of them are provided free of charge.

The current number of PlayStation VR games is about 50, and will continue to increase from the end of the year. In Gear VR, we can experience a few entry-level mini-games, and PlayStation VR has already made a lot of classic masterpieces.

Therefore, for professional game users, PlayStation VR is undoubtedly the only choice, but for ordinary users, just want to experience it occasionally, then Gear VR can let you save more money.

price

There are huge differences in the price of the two VR devices. The PlayStation VR is priced at US$399 (approximately RMB) and is more expensive but provides a more realistic VR experience. However, compared with the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, cost savings are still saved.

The Gear VR is priced at US$99 (about RMB), which is more suitable for ordinary users and is considered a more entry-level device. Of course, the premise of these is that you need to have a Samsung smartphone.

However, whether it is Gear VR or PlayStation VR, to get a better immersive experience, have to spend extra money to purchase accessories.

to sum up

If you want a virtual reality device with a more immersive experience, PlayStation VR is definitely better than Gear VR. Counting controllers, cameras, and even PS4 consoles at the same time, it costs a lot more than HTC Vive or Oculus Rift's complete set of equipment. Although it is impossible to obtain a complete experience of moving in the virtual reality world, realistic game effects can also be obtained by head motion tracking.

Samsung Gear VR is relatively low in terms of threshold, and is more suitable for ordinary users. But keep in mind that the premise is that you have to have a Samsung smartphone that is compatible with Gear VR. Of course, although Gear VR is cheaper, it can only be an entry-level experience in an immersive experience.

Therefore, if you are an Android user and want to experience further VR experience, you may wish to wait patiently. Look at Google's Daydream View, which is also a good choice.
