For the record, this newer 2017 Samsung Gear VR doesn't get hot like the 2015 version and my smartphone battery lasts a lot longer now
Samsung Gear is not great for shooters or any of the other games you'd get from other mainstream VR headsets
If you have a listed Samsung phone, the less expensive Gear VR will work for you, if you have anything else it absolutely will not
I suspect that if you could manually load the Gear VR App that it would work properly on the J7, but Samsung has not made it possible for you to do that.

The games are cheaper than the other VR systems as well (even identical games).There are definitely limitations, and you may find yourself needing to invest in a new gaming controller for this as well but keeping those things in mind up front, this is definitely a fun toy to have.
I have a note 5 and the only problem is the best grafics games won't support my old phone
A lot of the apps are just rollercoasters or weird video games
My son love's it, great product the games make his phone very hot though.

You have to download a very shady app that bypasses the Samsung VR setup
I deleted the useless apps off my phone, but if anyone wants the names of them, I will look them up for you
There's also a steep learning curve and the VR constantly wants access to mobile phone functionality that it shouldn't need (sorry random rollcoaster app
So, if you want to sit still and just spin around, or pay a lot of money for the good apps, this would be great for you
Really well made good controlls but doing this instead of a reg one burns up the battery and the phone needs to cool down frequently
Luckily they didn't put the battery in Gear VR so it didn't burn or explode
I like the vr experience from roller coasters to yraveling there is always something to watch, my phone loses battery fast though and it gets very hot too.
If you leave your phone in it, it will drain your battery, so plug it in to keep phone charged
