Because Gear VR is a deep cooperation between Samsung and Oculus, Oculus is unlikely to enter China alone after being acquired by Facebook. Samsung Gear VR is also a twist. In the past year, we have learned from several sources that Samsung’s plans to enter China and “planned to be blockedâ€.
Samsung had long intended to let Gear VR enter China. One of the plans was around March of this year. However, on March 10, the “Internet Publishing Service Management Regulation†was formally implemented. “This made Samsung unprepared.†The plan to enter China was suspended. . At that time, senior people in the domestic VR field suggested that Samsung Research Institute start with the ToB field.
Since then, there have been rumors that Samsung will enter China with the Oculus Rift CV1 in September this year, but "the progress of Facebook is relatively slow." Samsung is said to be too close to Google Daydream VR and is not happy with Oculus and Facebook.
The Note 7 and Gear 4 released this fall all have a BNM version. It is also reasonable for the Bank of China Samsung store to launch the Gear VR area.
However, according to informed sources, this does not count Gear VR into China, and domestic application stores are still unable to operate and sell. If this information is accurate, it may mean that Samsung's Gear VR China App Store is still in the legally obscure zone, just adding new features to Gear's app store.
