The VR headset, whose final consumer model will run on a next-generation Galaxy smartphone and/or tablet, is already rumored to arrive with an OLED screen. But, as expected, details related to the new tech is scarce.

Engadget, one of the first to break the news with an insider source confirming the same, states "it has an OLED screen, as good or better than in the second Rift dev kit," although "it's not clear how the headset connects to your phone/tablet, but we're guessing it's a wired connection rather than wireless."
