You can still get your Gear VR on with Samsung’s Galaxy S10 range

Samsung's recently unveiled Galaxy S10 series will work with the Gear VR (2017) headset, according to Road to VR. The website reported the new phones would be compatible despite their varying display sizes and 19:9 aspect ratios. The Gear VR 2017 headset launched with the 5.7-inch, 16:9 Galaxy Note 7.

A Samsung rep also told The Verge the necessary adapter is included with the Gear VR already, so the phones should be easy enough to set up. To use the Galaxy Note 9 with the Gear VR Samsung had to ship a separate adapter.
