Samsung Galaxy S7
Discussion
For anyone trying the VR, apparently its not possible at the moment to view videos from SD so all has to be done from internal memory, although I've read that there's an update coming out. For 360 videos I downloaded off a demo site (not great quality but I'm not expecting much) I had to put _360 at the end of the file name before the extension.
Trying to get an SBS 3D video to play at the moment but not having much luck!

That's what it seemed like. Just wondering how they plan on handling these pre-orders.

Out interest, is there an easy way to transfer apps across or do I need to download everything again?
Mine gave me the option to plug into my other phone but I thought I'd do it later so just signed into my gmail account. All my apps started installing! Nice and easyChrist it recharges fast. From 57% to 100% in about 34 minutes.

Interesting story popped up in my news feed this morning. It stated that the UK spec for the s7 uses a slower processor_ Samsung's own brand_ instead of the qalcom 820 used in the US and East markets.
The AnTuTu benchmarks appear to show the Exynos being slightly lower than the Snapdragon for chip performance, and a much lower GPU score. The Geekbench scores, if I'm reading them right, show the Snapdragon lags behind in the single core test but blows the Exynos chip out the water for multicore performance.

I've no idea where to start with the VR kit. I'm assuming it will work with apps and stuff made for Google Cardboard?
Not out of the box it won't. But you can easily enable it by installing Package Disabler Pro and using it to temporarily disable the Gear VR ServiceleglessAlex said:

I'm supposed to get mine tomorrow, but i may wait for HTC or LG to release their phones, based on the fact that they will be using the 820 chipset.

On the one hand, it's unlikely to make a huge difference in my day to day use of the phone, I'm a heavy user in terms to time but not in terms of processor intensive apps. On the other hand, my S6 is really slow considering it's only about 9-10 months old and that's not really good enough. Touchwiz is still one of the worst iterations of Android, at least if there was more processing power it might delay the slowdown.
Oh, add to that I'd be a bit miffed if I payed top dollar for a phone and it wasn't the most powerful one out there. I know thats kind of petty/silly but oh well.
