VRFocus- In some ways Samsung and Oculus VR's Gear VR smartphone-based virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD) bests the Oculus Rift HMD's second developer kit (DK2). Namely, the Super AMOLED display found on the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S6 phones with which the kit runs beat out the DK2's 1080p OLED screen. But Gear VR does lack one crucial feature found in DK2; positional tracking. It's something that Oculus VR is working to fix in a future iteration of the device, though it has recently described the issue as a 'hard problem'.
