No, it is not. I use mine with the S8+. However, you need to be aware that the Gear VR comes with a microUSB connector. Contrary to what you may read elsewhere, it does not come with a Type C connector. You will need to buy that separately. The connectors are inter-changeable (slide-on, slide-off style). You can get the connector from eBay for about £12 so that needs to be factored in for Galaxy 8/8+ users. You also need bluetooth ear/headphones unless you want to be a bore. I would say it is worth it. It is a fantastic piece of kit.

Thanks for the info Condo. Persuaded me to spring for one of these. Would you mind giving the exact name of the connector I would need to allow the S8 to be compatible with the Gear VR? Not entirely sure what I am looking for as I'm sure the size of the adapter must matter.

Just search for Samsung Gear VR2 2016 SM-R323 Type C adaptor / Connector. You can also search by the precise Part No. That is GH98-4035

Yes, I got the daydream the other day for my s8. Works beautifully. A few sales on games at the mo too. Get eclipse, cracking game and reduced to £4.49 from £8.49 for a limited time.
