Samsung GearVR - Phone size S7 vs Edge vs Note5

[Morne Erasmus]

Hi all

 

So with the Gear being compatible with the S7, S7 Edge and Note, I have a question.

 

The Gear accomodates different phone sizes with the S7 being the smallest and the Note5 being the largest, by having the point where you plug it into, fixed, and from the other side it adjust to fit the size. So my question is, how does this affect the viewing? I mean logically speaking, when the screen is split in half, the center should be centered to the Gear? So how does it work then if the size adjust only from one side? The Note and Edge fills the gap, but the S7 is smaller so off center isn't it? Anybody tried all 3 phones with the Gear?

 

Specifically for the Gear VR, which size phone would you recommend for optimal viewing? Or by some magic they all look pretty much the same once you insert it into the Gear?

Some feedback for those interested.

 

On the FIXED side where you plug the phone into, there is an A and B position. B postion for S6 and A postion for Edge and Note. The other side then auto adjusts to fit
