New Gear VR headsets no longer work with Samsung's Galaxy Note7

The message on the Samsung Galaxy Note7 is clear: The device should not be used by anyone, regardless of when it was bought. 

The recommendation now comes straight from Samsung, which all but confirms the veracity of several reports that even the replacement Note7 devices — which were supposed to be safe with regards to battery issues — are catching fire. 

But even if some users insist on keep using the phone, they'll soon find its functionality diminished. A Reddit user found out and Android Central has confirmed that the Note7 will no longer work with Oculus' Gear VR headset.
