Hello again.
Last time i was able to try HTC Vive and My God it was amazing. So i want to have some budget VR system for myself in home. I know it will be much much worse but still want to try.
My question: Which VR googles would be best for G flex 2? It is curved which makes choosing perfect one a bit harder.
BTW if you can afford for HTC Vive just buy one.
I have google cardboard and its working perfect.
I have a Freefly VR and while it works perfectly with the Flex 2, I find the screen of the phone to be not perfectly suited for VR (compared to iPhone 6s Plus, for instance). It looks very grainy...
Cardboard is too crappy for me. Freefly VR in other hand is very expensive in Poland, because price was exchanged from $. It is even more expensive than original Samsung VR. I don't want cheap $hit, but it is overpriced here.
I got VR BOX 2 for 50zł and flex fit perfect
I ordered it few days ago with little pad for same cash. for information purposes 50 PLN means about 13$.
I think any Cardboard or Mi VR should be fine,its not that bent to cause problems. However its only FHD screen,dont expect miracles from that. Even QHD isnt enough.

It is worth mentioning that HTC VIVE (best VR set yet) have only FHD resolution. It's not about having best VR experience. It is about having VR in home at all.
I'm a student, and i can't afford best VR set.

Which one did u get for the flex 2. How is ur experience using it?
I bought VR BOX 2. It isn't perfect but it's good enough. Generally G Flex 2 isn't perfect for VR. But it is cheap. As i said around 13$.
I currently am in possession of a VR Box II.
The screen is quite grainy, after a while it's easy to look past that.
The only problem I have is that the phone gets extremely hot, making vr experiences stutter like crazy.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Which is better betwen Mi Vr and Vr box 2.0?

Mi VR is more oriented on chinese market,but no one says there is not quality content even for non-chinese,but i guess they are both pretty much same as they use display of phone. I think Mi VR has more potencial for future because of community and brand. Also VR Box 2 is up to 6 inches,Mi VR is up to 5.7 inches and VR Box 2 has extra jack,but i dont think its that important
Anyone recommend a budget friendly, solid headset for the Moto Z/F?
It would be cool to see a a VR set specifically for the MZF. I see a few possibilities on how they could make the VR another "mod" offering.
Maybe one with a wire...or wireless display to make it lighter and more comfortable
Is the Samsung VR compatible?

Lol I don't think the VR will make your face blow up. Unless using it with a note 7

Sorry had to,but Im curious about vr for this phone, Im curious as to if the daydream viewer will work.
I got this one for $40 and it works well with my Moto Z Force https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KZ1392Y?tag=- It's a pretty neat experience when watching 3D or 360 videos. Only thing to keep in mind and something I was unaware of when I got mine is that some VR apps require a "action" button, which is a magnetic button that not all headsets come with. Mine does not have the "action" button. A lot of apps however let you choose to use a "action" button or to focus. The focus is pretty sweet. You just look at what you want to open.

Looks like daydream is officially supported with the Nougat update according to Moto here . I ordered one and should have it Wednesday. Just hope the OTA gets here in time.

Initial impression is pretty good. Remote is pretty cool and I tried a few apps and quality is good. I've been a little spoiled with my PSVR but this is great for mobile. I had to side load the daydream app and keyboard because play store said it was not compatible but it all seems to be working right now. Most daydream apps I could download but there was 1 or 2 games I had to side load. Quality seems on par with the GearVR but imo the remote is such a better input method than the touchpad on the GearVR. I only tested a little bit because the OTA drained my battery so I'm charging up now to test more later. If there's anything specific you want me to try let me know I'll be trying again in a little bit.
Edit: Guess I should point out I'm using the Moto Z Droid not the force. Not too sure how much of a difference the shattershield makes as far as quality.

Ok. Phones almost charged up so I'll try in a little. I tried one 360 video on YouTube earlier and it didn't look bad. Hulu I have installed but I gotta see if my subscription is still active. Netflix unfortunately wasn't on there yet. Yea I love the PSVR as far as gaming but imo it sucks for media use right now.
Just watched some family guy on Hulu and it wasn't too bad. Screen door effect is noticeable but not too bad imo. It's just like the Hulu app on my psvr and makes it seem like your sitting in a living room and you can change the environment. The YouTube app is pretty awesome too and works pretty well. The biggest gripe I have with this headset is the light bleed which you'll notice in a lot of reviews. It sort of leaves a glare on the lenses but it's not too noticeable when your actually getting into it. Overall I'm happy with the purchase.
Can you give your impressions on gaming? I have never used a VR headset and don't want to drop the money on a PSVR right now.
How is it playing action games or the new HP game? How is VR gaming experience overall? (In its infancy/pretty sweet/novelty)

So far I tried fantastic beast a little and it was ok but more like a virtual experience not bad for free though. Aside from that I tried VR karts which was fun steering with the remote. Heading out to shop right now but once back I'll try some more games. I know it won't really compare to my PSVR but in my past experiences with mobile VR the gaming isn't too bad.
Im curious, would changing the dpi alter the screen door effect at all since we now have full control over that?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew when the Huawei Watch 3 might be released? I like everything about the 2 apart from the lack of proper waterproofing. I am tempted to get the gear sport as it is perfect for me but the three reasons I haven’t gotten it yet are because number 1, it has very limited apps, 2, it only has s voice and not Bixby and 3, it has no speaker. One thing that was really important for me was the speaker so I could play music without headphones. I am willing to spend 300$ on the Watch. The gear sport would have been perfect apart from those three things. The two problems with the Huawei Watch 2 were number 1, the lack of rotating bezel or anything like that and also 2, the low battery life. I loved everything else like all the activity tracking, google to talk to and the great app support. The once main reason I couldn’t get the gear sport was because of no speaker. I know it’s hard to make it waterproof and with a speaker but Apple have done it with the Apple Watch 3. If not the Huawei Watch 3, does anyone know of any other upcoming android Smartwatchs or other that might be coming soon? Will I have to wait till next February until the Huawei 3 I wonder... Thanks and I hope someone can help.

I was also close to buy the samsung gear sport because of the water proofing. But as you say it is sad that you can not use it for speaking. And no 3G/4G i think.
I have not heard anything of a Huawei Watch 3
What I like with my Huawei watch 2 is that it has everything except for the waterproofing and that it does not have spotify offline yet.
And because all of the sensors the battery life is not so good. It is nice that you can use it stand alone as a phone with 4G, but actually you can only use it emergency phone because with 4G enable the battery drains fast. You have to enable 4G when you need it....

My solution for having Phone + data for all the day is to force cellular in 3G in watch prefs (instead of 4G). 4G drain battery really more faster than 3G, wich is good enough for "ok google" interactivy...

I've been showering with my watch on I didn't realize it wasn't water proof! :-0

It is water proof..
- IP68 certified - dust/water proof over 1.5 meter and 30 minutes
- Water resistant up to 1 meter and 30 minutes
It's water and dust resistant, nothing more. Showering isn't advisable.
As for the Watch 3 I hope it's a sporty looking one like the Watch 2. I think the Watch 1 looks like a midrange Timex. I want a big and rugged watch!
I personally am, only because I'm on T-Mobile JOD to then be able to "Jump" to the Note 10 in August. The S-Pen is very nice, but I can do w/o it for 6 months. I know not everyone has that option depending on the carrier. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts.
Nope, I love my SPen too much, will wait for N10, also, not convinced about the bezelless screen.

How do we know that they won't do the same for the next Note? That whole Camera in the S-Pen thing I keep seeing seems iffy.

The Samsung Galaxy Note Smartphone's fall under the Business/Creativity category, it would be dumb to have a cut out in the display as that kills the S-Pen.. Well that’s how I’m looking at it!
I won't. I like my note a lot. But I may get it for the wife as she is currently on the S9. Not sure what model she will want.
Something about the note 9 feels premium to me vs the S models. I've had all previous S models and you just can't compare the feel of the note with the S models imho.
I got the E 8/256 model. Traded in my 3 XL for it. I never cared for the 3 XL anyways. I think it cost me $250.
No since the Note 9 is my first Note i do not see my self going back to the Galaxy S line.
I am perfectly happy with my Note 8 N950N. I probably won't upgrade to a new model until my device starts to fail.

After watching a few videos of the Samsung Galaxy S10+! Man that camera cut does not look intrusive at all! It’s so subtle i think Samsung has pulled it off! And the OLED screen looks Amazing!

Personally I think the holepunch on the display is not the best idea for a all display all the time immersive experience. I think that Samsung should have continued to use the old design with thin bezels. As that looks much better than having a hole in my display. But who knows maybe when I go to see the promotional event of the SGS10 series, I will change my mind. Afterall I didn't like the idea of not having physical buttons on my devices. Then I got the Note 8 and I have took to it like a fish in water...
I can't jusifty the added cost from my Note 9. First time in a while I'm not in a rush to upgrade.

Yep i kind of agree with you untill seeing the S10+ in flesh cant really say! You seen the new Sony Xperia a1 4K OLED 21.9 ? it looks mental no hole punch i'm really tempted taking the Sony route! But Samsung are awesome as well owning so many samsung gear it kind of hard to let go!

To be honest any who has either a Note 9, one of the SGS9 or even a Note 8 or one of the SGS8 series devices. There really is no point in upgrading to the SGS10 series. Sure there is a bump up in the specs and you get a newer display. But at the end of the day if your current device is still working perfectly fine, what is the point. Save you cash until your device becomes obsolete then upgrade to the latest model.

Observational post of the week
I join the request!
I don't own a smart watch and I have been looking at the Watch 5 Pro and wanted to know more about it, the good, bad and ugly.
I really wish the watchs had CGM capabilities for Diabetes, but I am sure they are working on it. How accurate are the sensors in the Watch 5 Pro?
And what purpose does LTE have on a watch, If I am using it with a Note 20 Ultra do I really need the extra cost of the LTE model?

The purpose is to be able to send and receive messages, stream music, etc., and are in places where a phone is too cumbersome or not able to be used. Places like gyms or certain office settings.
There are also the "look what I can do" geeks.

I stopped by the local big box electronics store and looked at the Watch 5 Pro..... I don;t know what people are complaining about as far as the weight goes, it would take 5 of them to weight as much as any of my Invicta Russian Diver watches......lol
And 45mm bezel is too big? then you would hate a full size diver watch. I would like to see a 52mm Watch 5 Pro and for them use the extra space for a bigger display and more sensors like a CGM.

After looking at it and then at the price they want, I am going to hold off, I really want a CGM on a watch, its probably going to be 2-4 more generations before they can do that and I am sure all the sensors and battery life will keep getting better too.

agree with the hefty price tag. I only got it because they gave me $180 for my GW4 and a $50 Samsung credit.
I just gave in and got it. After debloating and playing with it (heavy use) and setting it up and using it half a day I'm currently sitting at 26% when I opened the box today and turned it on it was at 52%
