Samsung has announced that its virtual reality headset, the Gear VR, will not launch in Australia until early 2015, and provided the following statement:
“Samsung Electronics Australia wishes to advise that the Gear VR on-sale date has been revised to early 2015. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”
The Gear VR was intended to hit Australian retailers in November for a recommended retail price of AUD$249. Both The Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge faced similar delays in Australia.
Co-developed with Oculus, the Gear VR allows Galaxy Note 4 owners to holster their phablet in the headset for a portable, consumer-focused virtual reality experience. Samsung has only just begun selling the Gear VR in the United States.
