All those VR headsets use the smartphone as a display device. But, it is worth to note that you cannot use all the devices in that VR display. Your smartphone must support the Virtual Reality thing in order to use as a display in those VR headsets.
If you are planning to buy a virtual reality headset or VR Headset that uses a smartphone as a display, it is worth to check if you have a virtual reality compatible phone. In this post, we are adding few ways to check if your phone supports Virtual Reality headset.

*Requirements

Before you check VR compatible smartphone, you should know the basic requirements for a phone to support virtual reality headset. The phone should have Gyroscope sensor for any VR apps to work in it. The Gyroscope is a sensor that provides orientation information with greater precision. Other important things are Magnetic Field Sensor and Internal Compass. The Magnetic field sensor is capable of sensing the magnetic field of the earth ( by using Halls effect) and helps in determining the Direction. Using the navigation app with magnetic Compass turned on, the navigation will be more precise.

*Main components of the phone to support VR headset:

Gyroscope
Magnetic Field Sensor
Internal Compass (recommended)
NFC (optional)

*How to check if your phone supports Virtual Reality headset

These are few ways to check if your phone supports virtual reality.
1. Freefly VR
Freefly VR is a website which has compiled the list of smartphones which are compatible with VR headsets. You can check this website to see if your smartphone is listed there. In case, your smartphone is not listed, you can still have a chance. So, try the next way.

2. Google Cardboard or other apps to check
Open Play Store and search for ‘Cardboard’ app by Google
. This app comes with a demo of VR. If your phone is compatible this app, your phone will support virtual reality headset. To be surer, you can also test with other third-party apps like SensorBox, EZE VR and VR Checker.
Apps Download Links:
Download SensorBox from Google Play
Download EZE VR from Google Play
Download VR checker from Google Play
With these two methods, you can easily check if your phone supports VR headsets.
Another good way to check is the ability to play 360-degree videos. If your phone supports 360-degree videos on YouTube and Facebook, your phone will also support virtual reality headsets.

Minor correction:

The VR unit doesn't just use the phone as a display, the phone itself is the guts of the whole VR experience as it provides the processing, rendering, and tracking.

All the headsets provide are the lenses and, in the gear vr etc, an additional sensor.

Also, phones that don't support at least a 2k resolution will be blurry and lead to motion sickness.

I first experienced VR tech on a device called VSUN.
It was a scary thing for me.
Honestly, I hate virtual realities.
So when I saw that VR is also enabled on my Camon CX via google services, I didn't bother setting up.
Those that like it can do it if it's enabled on their device, but for yours truly?
It's a No No!
hello miz, how long does it take ur CX battery to charge fully and how long can the battery last. your opinion is seriously needed

Hey Kitty
My Cx when I got it had this annoyingly weak battery. I almost thought of giving it out.
But I noticed that the more I kept charging and using it, the more it became stable. But not stable in the sense of an L9 plus o
You get?

Honestly, I have not taken how long it lasts into consideration.
I keep meaning to check, but I always forget to see it through.

Throughout yesterday I charged just once to 79% before plugging it last night to sleep and it was at fifty something percent.

You know I use two phones.
But I do most of my movies and some browsing/Whatsapp on my Cx.

I'm not a heavy phone user, but I'm a heavy internet user.

Sorry for my long story up there o.

As a promoter of the brand. It doesn't take me anything to tell you the battery on 100 percent. But I owe it to you and all of humanity to be honest.
So, my score for CX battery is

6.5/10

Why? You think the camera is lesser than 16mp or higher than? Well, I use the front camera more and pictures of it is dope.

You know how these things are.
Truly it's not by megapixels.
But I can assure you that the back cam is nice. Really nice.

It's better than the front camera as it has a way of filtering out noise.

All in all, you will see the beauty of the camera when you are in a naturally lighted place.

Friedweed:
So how much is the VR package and what exactly do I need to buy. I checked on Jumia, and I'm seeing different devices with prices ranging from 1000 to 38000 Naira. How do I purchase a complete VR headset or gear
You should get a regular headset between 1800-6000 but gear is around 45k to 50k.

After charging the device around 2am two days ago, I have not charged it from that time till today.

It's safe to conclude that the Camon Cx battery lasts 36hours under moderate usage without charging.

I'm actually impressed.

Nice, my L9 Plus supports it sef but I don't play games especially on my phone.

its called virtual reality meaning you'll be playing games and it will seem like you're the one actually in the game.
