when i was working at fb, i specifically got a s7 as a work phone to use with gear vr to dogfood and i found the phone-insertion experience to be rather annoying. it was so annoying, in fact, that i would just leave my s7 in the gear vr and continued to use my personal phone, an iphone, for everything. the only reason i took it out was to charge it when it died after an hour of use.
i used to be deeply skeptical of the idea of these standalone vr units, but it's good to see oculus exploring it.
