Starting tomorrow customers in the United States can place a pre-order for the Gear VR Innovator Edition at Best Buy. It will go on sale at Best Buy and at Samsung's online store on May 8th, the retailer's physical stores will have the headset in stock from May 15th. Samsung has not confirmed the pricing yet but the original Gear VR headset sold for $199 so the new one is likely going to be in the same price range as well.
Users can expect a great virtual reality experience given that the headset will utilize the Galaxy S6's amazing Quad HD Super AMOLED display with 577 pixels per inch. The new headset has been reduced in size, comes with redesigned straps and has improved airflow with a built-in fan. All of these improvements make the Gear VR more comfortable to wear.
