Comparing the Samsung Gear VR and Oculus Quest is a bit like comparing apples and oranges, as they are two different types of virtual reality headsets. The Samsung Gear VR is a smartphone VR headset, whereas the Oculus Quest is a standalone VR headset. Both offer 360 degree tracking and room scale capabilities, but there are some notable differences between them.

The Samsung Gear VR has a 101° field of view with 2560 x 1440 px resolution, which I feel is an excellent specification for this type of device. The refresh rate of 60 Hz also ensures that users can enjoy smooth visuals when using the device. However, it does require an Android operating system to work properly so users need to be aware that their phone needs to be compatible in order for them to get the best out of this product.

The Oculus Quest has a slightly smaller 95° field of view but with 1600 × 1440 px resolution, it offers sharp visuals. It also uses Microsoft Windows as its operating system instead of Android, making it more versatile for those who don’t have an Android phone or don’t want to buy one just for their headset. However, its 72 Hz refresh rate may not provide quite as smooth an experience as the Gear VR’s higher rate.

In my personal opinion, I prefer using the Samsung Gear VR due to its sharper visuals and higher refresh rate compared to the Oculus Quest's lower resolution images and slower refresh rate. That said, both devices offer excellent quality experiences that are sure to please most users looking for good virtual reality headsets at reasonable prices.
