The device, designed with Oculus, is a noticeable step up from the last version of the Samsung headset. That version worked with the Galaxy Note 4, but the S6, a more mainstream device, could insure that the new generation of Gear VR attracts more customers. Samsung says, like the previous Gear VR, the Gear VR Innovator Edition will cost $199.
Update: Included pricing from Samsung.
