So, rapper Lil Wayne stars in a couple commercials for the new Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge phones. One of the selling points for the Galaxy S7 series is that all pre-orders also received a free Samsung Gear VR virtual reality headset.
Now you've got Lil Wayne speaking in third-person about drinking tea in real life, then slipping on his Gear VR to go canoeing. With Wesley Snipes. Then Wesley Snipes shows up and Lil Wayne tells Wesley Snipes that he was just canoeing with Wesley Snipes in VR.
It's just the right amount of ridiculous. The other Gear VR commercial has Lil Wayne delivering a baby elephant. Welcome to the Year of VR, ladies and gentlemen.
Senior Hardware Editor John Yan is impressed with the phone's speed, and he's checking out first-person turret shooter EVE: Gunjack, which he got for free with the phone/Gear VR.
