I *think* only the Note has the SpO2 and UV sensors. I was wondering if I can do this with the S5 or if the hardware just isn't there.
Thanks!
can we check the spo2 or only note 4 users???

Hi i have been searching everywhere for this answer. Do you think the note edge will be compatible with the upcoming gear vr? I know it says only compatible with note 4 but the specs are identical and dimensions are similar... The only reason it mite not work that I can think of is if the gear vr uses the note 4 screen fully ie 100% then the edge part would be an issue.

The Note Edge will not work in Gear VR; period!

Sadly, works only with Note 4.
Resurrecting an old thread. Has anyone else tried?
From this review:
http://gizmodo.com/samsung-gear-vr-review-hell-yes-i-will-strap-this-phon-1670312012
"It's worth noting here that while Samsung has pointedly said that you're not supposed to try and fit the Galaxy Note Edge in here, you totally can. I mean, it doesn't "fit" in the conventional sense, but I've crammed it in a few times without breaking anything (yet). The problem is that the Note Edge doesn't launch the Oculus app when you plug it in. I'm sure there's probably some workaround but it probably involves black magic. Or at least root access."
Read this too when it first came out and was wondering the same thing, such a tease.
I posted this in the sprint forum for the note 5. Got plenty of views but no responses. I installed Galaxy Sensors from the play market. Humidity is one of the listed readings and it is consistently within 2% of my home humidistat readings. Can anyone explain this? I thought the note 5 didn't have a humidity sensor.
1. Note 4 Gear VR - immersive, excellent FOV
2. S6, S6 edge - cant comment but i can assume it would of been the same as the note 4, since it was designed for a 5.1" phone.
3. S6, S6 edge, S6 edge plus, note 5 - looks like your looking through a toilet roll tube. What a dissapointment. What happend?
Last thing, does anyone know if the note 5 will work with the first innovator edition?
Rant over,
Thanks
Have you got things set up right on the s6 the fov is excellent so not sure about this toilet tube effect you are seeing

Hi, I have the note 5. Have you used the innovator edition?
Thanks
No the consumer one

It does not, sadly, and I don't just mean physical incompatibility. The Note 5 just doesn't launch the Oculus software at all.

By contrast, the "consumer" Gear VR 2015 model apparently works on a Note 4 on a software level, but Samsung was stupid enough to have the physical construction of the front smartphone mount block off the Note 4 unless you start cutting bits and pieces off.

What I really want to know is if the flattened sides of the later Gear VR pose a problem for Note 4/5 use, since I can't imagine them being all that great for FOV on the larger screens. The Note 4 Innovator Edition model already feels kinda like you're looking through ski goggles as it is.
Better yet, if someone could test a modified "consumer" Gear VR with a Note 4 that has a Note 5 ROM port installed, I'd like to see it. As it stands, the Note 4 Gear VR doesn't work, presumably for the same software-related reasons it doesn't work on the Note 5. Those ROM ports obviously pass the phone off as a Note 5.
Perhaps if you are not happy with Samsung's approach, you should just order BlitzWolf vr or similar.
So I went to Samsung store today, tried to find out the camera sensor and my country(Singapore) got a Samsung sensor. Wonder if it's a mix of both Sony and Samsung sensors like they've been for years or all Samsung this time around. Has anyone seen S9s/S9+s with Sony for their country?
I dont think there is a sony... could be wrong...

Yea.. I Googled it, but no mention on any Sony sensors on S9/S9+. Hmm...
Exynos = Samsung sensor. Snapdragon = Sony sensor. This is a given.
The questions are which models of sensors are they? and whether they are upgraded or 2017 ones?

On my Exynos S8+ it's S5K2L2, while in the case of the S9 Exynos variant, it's SAK2L3. So yea.. it's an upgraded sensor. While front facing camera *seems* to be the same one as one on S8.
All versions of the S9, S9+ should be using the 3-stack ISOCELL Fast 2L3 image sensor with an integrated DRAM to be able to perform the touted Super Slow Mo feature.

If this is the case, I guess in a way, a good thing then. To keep consistency. As I remember Samsung was using either ISOCELL and Sony IMX240 on the S6 regardless of chipset or region and quality were superior on one over the other.
Just want to ask if you know something about note9's camera sensors. In note 8 the sensor used on snapdragon models was slightly better than exynos one.
Do you know something about it on note 9?

Look at the thread posted on here about note 9 camera sharpness. It will explain all .

Xynos phones usually use Samsung ICOCELL camera sensor as opposed to Sony. This camera, as much as any one moans about sharpness is better than the Note 8 and on par with the S9+. I have tested and had all of them.
The samsung sensor is usually on par if not slightly better than the Sony to my eye.
