Galaxy Note 10 may herald the end of Samsung Gear VR

The Galaxy Note 10 is a fine smartphone and example of innovation in the smartphone market.

Perhaps in an effort to further distance it from the Galaxy S line, Samsung has changed quite a lot in the Galaxy Note 10.

That, unfortunately, has forced it to drop things like the headphone jack and, something Samsung left out from the press, support for its own Gear VR platform.

Samsung Gear VR was perhaps the first, and now only, mobile VR platform developed by a manufacturer that followed in Google Cardboard’s footsteps.

In short, it used the power of a smartphone to drive virtual reality experiences and, on paper, promised the joys of VR without the pain of being tethered to an expensive PC rig.

It also set itself apart from the likes of Cardboard by working with Oculus rather than using Android’s then still immature VR framework.
