To use a Gear VR with controller with a Note9, you’ll need to get the new adapter. Since the Note9 is bigger than other phones. The adapter helps accommodate its size. 

 

Please note: To connect your Note9 to the Gear VR (SM-R325) you will need to replace the existing device holder with a new device holder (Part code: GH81-16186A) before being able to connect the devices. This can be requested by contacting 0800 Samsung to receive your complimentary adaptor. *contact number is for New Zealand residents.

To replace the device holder on Gear VR, follow these steps:
