  • The new Gear VR to be priced at roughly Rs 6,700
  • It is expected to look the same as its predecessor

Samsung is all set to announce the Galaxy Note7 at its Unpacked event on August 2. According to a new report, the company will also launch a new compatible Gear VR headset at the event.

The new Gear VR headset has been leaked in a blurry image on PhonesReview. The image does not show any difference in the headset from its predecessor with respect to design. However, the new headset is said to sport a USB Type-C port. The Samsung Galaxy Note7 is expected to be the first in the tech giant’s line-up to make the switch to USB Type-C.
