![]() ![]() Installing a phone in the Gear VR is simple. It's a much better solution than an adapter that can be lost (like the included charging port adapter, which really should be replaced by a USB-to-USB-C charging cable). The connector attaches securely when the switch is locked, making it feel like it's an integrated part of the headset. A locking switch lets you slide the pre-installed USB-C docking connector off of a small mount and replace it with an included micro USB connector. Samsung has a very functional workaround, and it's more than a simple adapter: The entire docking connector on the Gear VR is modular. The headset is also compatible with the Galaxy Note 5, S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, S7 ($199.99 at Samsung) (Opens in a new window), and S7 Edge ($792.00 at Verizon) (Opens in a new window), all of which use a micro USB port.

Two sturdy fabric bands attach to the Gear VR with hook-and-loop fasteners to keep the headset connected securely to your face. A USB-C cable that terminates in a standard USB port would have been more convenient, since the adapter is very small and can get easily lost, but it's helpful if you don't already have a USB-C cable. No cable is included, though you do get a micro USB-to-USB-C adapter so you can use your older charging cables. The port is now USB-C rather than micro USB. The top of the headset holds a mechanical focus wheel, while the underside has a pass-through charging port for your connected phone. The right side of the headset holds a touchpad that's larger and flatter than the previous one (which has textured bumps to indicate the cardinal directions, which isn't really necessary), along with physical Back, Home, and Volume buttons.
