Samsung announced the Gear VR for the S6, but a few issues seems apparent based on experience with the Note 4 version.
Most people will not get the 128GB version, so their storage along with the 20% more space hogging Lollipop will be small for the 32GB and even the 64GB versions. Content juggling would be the norm since you can not use OTG storage with the Gear VR. And of course no sd, which is extremely handy with the Gear VR.
Even the new Samsung chip gets hot, so the unibody design pushing the VR content will run hotter. Ditto for simply replacing the battery that VR content drains faster than other content.
The S6 seems not the best design fit for the VR.
