The Galaxy Note 7 isn't likely to be the only treat at Samsung's August 2nd media event... and you may well be happy even if you have no intention of buying a new smartphone. Well-known tipster OnLeaks and French tech site Nowhereelse claim to have both a photo and details of the next Gear VRheadset, and it's all good news if true. While the virtual reality gear will reportedly support the Note 7, which should have a USB-C port, it should still support Samsung flagship phones as far back as the Galaxy S6. And it could be a more immersive experience, too -- the new Gear supposedly has a wider 110-degree view versus the 96 degrees of its predecessor, so it'll feel less like you're staring through a porthole.
There's no mention of pricing in the leak, although the sources hint that the new wearable might arrive in August (ahead of the Note 7 itself, which may wait until September). Last year's Gear VR sold for $99, mind you, and it wouldn't be out of line for this version to remain similarly affordable.
Non c'è alcuna menzione dei prezzi in perdita, anche se le fonti suggeriscono che il nuovo indossabile potrebbe arrivare nel mese di agosto (in vista della nota 7 stesso, che può aspettare fino a settembre). L'anno scorso di ingranaggi VR venduto per $ 99, si mente, e non sarebbe fuori linea per questa versione di rimanere in modo simile a prezzi accessibili.
