The smartphones bring new upgrades to the table in the form of the new chipset, new design, improved features. However, Samsung has dropped support for Google Daydream and Gear VR.

The South Korean tech giant has confirmed to The Verge that the Galaxy Note 10 won’t support Gear VR. This isn’t surprising as the headset hasn’t been updated since 2017. This also means all recent smartphones need an adapter to use the older headset. Oculus was Samsung’s partner in developing Gear VR, but it has moved to its own Oculus Go standalone VR headset.

Moving on to Google’s Daydream VR, the Galaxy S8, Note 8 and S9 were in the list of supported devices. However, the Galaxy S10 series miss Daydream VR support. Google informed Android Police that the Note 10 won’t support Daydream platform. So, the Galaxy S9 and Pixel 3 are the most recent smartphones to support the VR platform.
