Samsung announced that the new Gear VR and controller will be available on April 21st
Samsung announced that the new Gear VR will be available on April 21st for $129 during its Galaxy S8 event today. It comes with the new Gear VR controller but current owners of older Gear VR models can also nab it separately for $39.
Featuring a refined design and a new, multifunctional Controller, Samsung's latest Gear VR, powered by Oculus, introduces more comfort and fun to the virtual reality experience, taking users' immersion to entirely new levels.
Google Daydream hit the market with its own controller with a trackpad and a few buttons but Samsung has come out swinging. Samsung's new controller has a trigger and feels more akin to the Vive and Oculus Touch controllers than just an after though. This should allow for better gaming experiences on Gear VR.
