I've never felt more sick than after trying the VR for the first time. GearVR on Samsung Galaxy S6. Never happened again though, regardless of how much time I spent in.

The main issue on this headset was that I felt like my head was really small, while turning. I think the camera was just rotating on it's own axis, or around a sphere that was way smaller than a human head.

Phone VR isn't really VR. It's a poor excuse of an attempt. It's pointless to compare gearvr to anything in the actual vr space.

The only difference between gear and quest, is that the phone cannot be taken out of the quest, plus it has more sensors.

There is a huge difference between gearvr and any sensible VR like the Vive, Pimax or Index. I've tried both. Gear made me almost barf immediately. I'm playing Project Wingman with no issue on the other headsets. There is a huge technological difference.
