For these reasons, Galaxy S7 doesn't support USB Type-C port

According to the site Android Headlines, product marketing director of Samsung disclosed the basic reasons why the phone Galaxy S7 didn't support USB Type-C port.

The first reason: the virtual reality headset Gear VR

Samsung last year launched the virtual reality headset of Gear VR, and that can be connected with other devices from the company via the microUSB port. If Samsung has not included its new phone with this port and replace it with USB Type-C port, it would cause great disappointment for users who loved the headset on the one hand, and who would like to connect and use it with the new phone.

The second reason: the time is still early

The most common port is still the microUSB port, and many of the pieces and accessories which able to connect with smartphones also depend on the microUSB port, so the failure to introduce a basic port will lead to the loss of the possibility of connecting with other technologies are present in the market.

The third reason: the presence of the most important features USB Type-C in the new Samsung phone

These are the basic reasons that announced by one of the officials at Samsung, which can not be regarded as an official statement from the company (it has not issued a formal statement), but it seems reasonable and logical to a large extent.
