Thanks for this @FSX76 - I am not sure that this system is devised from their Standalone Daydream project, as I think Samsung pulled out of the Google link?
I first saw a early GearVR standalone prototype at the end of 2016 when the Samsung / Oculus partnership was still strong (and wondered why it never saw the light of day). Now that the relationship has been "redefined", I think they have dusted off the old GearVR concept and added more power and 6DoF (with controllers) to be a Quest-beater.
Samsung's access to greater manufacturing clout, the new OLED screens, the ability to use the SD855 and the previous GearVR recognition, places this in a strong position. Placing more pressure on Quest to come out of the starting gate hot with strong marketing in order to establish any kind of lead.
Edit - Also lets not forget the new Pico Standalone announcement made last week with the Pico Neo 2, that includes the SD845 - again substantively more powerful than the SD835a - https://uploadvr.com/pico-neo-2/
The Standalone scene is going to be crowded, lets hope there is a strong front runner to establish the scene so game developers can get on board.

I will wait for actual reviews. But it looks like either Rift S or Valve Index. I sold my Rift to my nephew at the beginning of the year and have been looking forward to new headsets. I can see the Index being rather expensive.

I agree; to gain any traction, Valve really needs to bring the Index out in the 500 to 600 range. Any higher, and it had better have some major game-changing new feature.
