These two should automatically install when needed. Non-Samsung devices also require the Galaxy Watch 4 plugin and Samsung Accessory Service. Samsung and non-Samsung phones require the Galaxy Wearable app. You’ll need to install a few essential apps on your phone to facilitate Galaxy Watch 4 pairing.Just know that the VR you see right now on a Galaxy S9 won't be the final word on mobile VR this year.Although the Galaxy Watch 4 now runs on Wear OS, its pairing process may still be problematic for some. Or, Samsung is shifting its focus a bit to AR.

With Oculus unveiling its own mobile standalone headset, the Oculus Go, sometime this year, and Samsung already having indicated ambitions to make its own standalone VR headset, maybe this downplaying of VR in early 2018 suggests other developments in the works. Qualcomm's chips support it, and reference designs of future Snapdragon VR headsets are already showing off how it could work. There's a possibility that Samsung's Gear VR, which exposes the rear cameras, could possibly enable camera-based tracking down the road. Samsung hasn't confirmed any changes to VR content when using the new phones, but Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 845 processor inside the Galaxy S9 has lots of optimizations for AR and VR that could promise big changes down the road, including inside-out motion tracking using the phone's cameras, something that Google's standalone Mirage Solo headset does, but the Gear VR doesn't yet. I prefer the Gear VR, but it's nice to have a choice.Ĭould there be other VR surprises on the horizon?

The Daydream View ecosystem is more knitted into Android and Google's core apps, and has some apps that are definitely worth checking out. Trying it out on the previous Daydream View shouldn't be risky, either, since the headset doesn't physically dock the phone. Luckily, it's easier to fit Android phones into Google's VR goggles, and it'll work with at least the version released last year. You'll also need a totally different headset: Google's Daydream View. Google's mobile VR platform has a different app store and different library of apps. The GS9 and GS9 Plus are also Daydream View-ready. VR option 2: Google Daydream View works, too Gear VR (left) vs Daydream View (right): two VR options, two VR platforms to choose. I didn't get to try putting the Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus into an older Gear VR headset to test this during my brief hands-on time, but I'd take Samsung's advice and stick with a Note 8 model to try Oculus mobile apps safely, and not screw up your phone. (The model number to look for is SR-325.) This guide to Gear VR model numbers could help. How do you know you're getting the correct Gear VR model? The Note 8 version might be referred to as a "Note 8-compatible" model. Samsung advises using the Note 8 Gear VR, released in September 2017, for the best fit.

The issue is all about the fit.Īpparently, the design of the S9 is different enough that attempting to put it into an earlier S8-compatible Gear VR, released in early 2017, could damage it. However, they only work with the Note 8 model released in September last year, not the nearly identical Galaxy S8 version that debuted in March that same year. Samsung's newest phones, the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus, didn't debut with any new VR hardware.

Samsung Gear VR: Only use the late 2017 Note 8-compatible model This year, there are a few things any Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus buyer should know before trying to pop it into a VR headset. Samsung gummed that up a bit over the last couple of years by requiring slightly different new models of Gear VR to fit its newer phones, most recently the Note 8 last year. The appeal of phone VR is simplicity and affordability: Just use a $100-ish set of goggles and your phone, and you're set.
