I think there are two types of people who would benefit: 1) those who like watching 360 videos and 2) those who like playing casual games. If you don’t have a compatible phone, it’s a less straightforward answer. – Front cover: Both the Innovator and Consumer have a plastic cover, but the Consumer’s cover allows you to hold a gel pack for cooling (see #9). On the Consumer, the control pad is molded so that you can feel which is up, down, left or right. – Controls: On the Innovator, the control pad is flat with a dot in the middle. The Note 4 Innovator and the Consumer Edition don’t have a fan.

It doesn’t prevent fog completely but it seems to help (I experience less fogging on the Innovator).

– Anti-fog fan: The S6 Innovator has a fan on its left side that is designed to reduce fogging. The focus adjustment is partly metal instead of plain plastic. The straps are made of a rubberized material. Its headstrap has cushioned pads in front and at the back. – Build quality: The Innovator has noticeably better quality. – Smartphone lock: On the Innovator, there is a lock for the smartphone clip, designed to prevent the clip from accidentally disengaging. On the Consumer, there are small spring-loaded guides for the phone but it’s still possible for the phone to be misaligned. – Smartphone fit: When you insert the S6 or S7 on the Innovator, the Innovator’s receptacle fits perfectly on the S6 or S7, therefore your phone will be perfectly level. The Innovator fits more snugly on your face. – Size / fit: The Consumer Edition is larger and can accommodate glasses.

The Consumer Edition is compatible with the S7, S7 edge, Note 5, S6, and S6 edge. – Compatibility: the Innovator (S6) is compatible only with the S6 or S7. Here are the differences between the Innovator (S6) and the Consumer Edition:
