why not. you should.

This information is available outside of the vr api.

The android system API already provides this information: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.html#MODEL

Unity surfaces it: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SystemInfo-deviceModel.html

Unreal surfaces it: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/8e4560b8c22b309e73ff0ce90377742c3dfe13cc/Engine/Source/Runtime/Core/Private/Android/AndroidMisc.cpp#L837

Do you have a specific use case that is not covered by the API's already in place?

gabor, the question is which gearvr device has been attached. 2015 or 2016 model for example.

VRSVC seems to know the model of the headset just fine.
