At present, it's not possible to unlock your smartphone using the Gear VR — so you have to remove it to enter your PIN. However, with this feature, the handset should automatically unlock when it detects that it's being worn by a registered user, which should alleviate a lot of frustration from current owners.
We should probably point out that there's a pretty good chance this technology will never see the light of day. As you're probably already aware, Samsung reserves the rights to a lot of designs and names on a daily basis, and only a small portion of them ever make their way onto the market.
Could this be one of the few that do? We think so.
