518 PPI isn't an improvement over the earlier phones, neither is the 2K screen, so as far as I can tell the only benefit is the on par FOV with the Rift and Vive at 110 degrees. Now whether the GEAR VR 2 has better optics is yet to be seen.
My contract ends around September so I could snag one of these but that £749 price tag is killer man.
