Samsung's newest phone looks great. But the Galaxy Note 8 has an unfortunate accessory problem: it needs a new VR headset.
The Oculus-partnered Gear VR has seen several goggle iterations over the years, the last one arriving alongside the Galaxy S8 and S8+. According to Samsung, the new Gear VR is just like the old Gear VR... but it's a bit wider to accommodate the Note 8's chassis.
