Coming from an Android-VR developer, the only smartphone VR-viewer that I'm going to be investing in (besides cardboard of course) will be Samsung's Gear VR (depending on the details which we'll all be learning in two weeks). I'm assuming that Oculus will have pushed them to make it as good as possible, so I feel like it's as close as we're going to get to a smartphone VR-viewer from Oculus. I wouldn't be surprised if the upcoming Android Oculus SDK will be tailored in some way towards Gear VR as well.
In regards to the quality of the experience, I can quite comfortably get 1080p rendered in stereo at 60+ fps on my Galaxy S5, and with the release of the Tegra K1, the future of mobile looks very bright indeed. Obviously not going to be competing with desktop graphics anytime soon, but in 2-4 years smartphones will be as powerful or more powerful than a PS4, and that's definitely sufficient to do great VR.
Uh, not sure if the Gear will work with an S5 and the price for a Note 4 is 999 Euros on Amazon.
For that money, I can buy a 70" TV and strap it to my head....
