    With the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 now in stores, the mobile giant has decided to release a rehashed version of its virtual reality headset, the Samsung Gear VR. Not all the much has changed, though. Of course the headset is outfitted with a USB Type-C port to accommodate Samsung’s newest flagship, but the peripheral also ships with a micro USB dongle, making it compatible with a wide swath of Samsung’s Galaxy lineup; including the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, S7, S7 Edge, S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge Plus, and Note 5.

    But the new Gear VR isn’t a pure carbon copy. The company has issued some quality of life design changes and Oculus’ ecosystem has only become more robust since we last looked at the application.

    Is the new Samsung Gear VR worth taking the plunge into virtual reality? Read the full review to find out.
