zacsaturday, 19 May 2016Funny thing is, even the Oculus Rift and Vive are not 1080p... moreI like HTC Vive experienced better. It have hands controller which makes gaming more realistic. The display resolution thing can wait. Battery life over high res anytime.

    Funny thing is, even the Oculus Rift and Vive are not 1080p per eye (though this term is not correct, as the "p" forces the ratio to be 16:9 and maybe 16:10 as well, which would not be the correct ratio. Its more like 1080i (1440x1080 which is 4:3) though even that is not correct, but close enough.

    The Gear VR (or any QHD phone) has a better resolution per eye than the Oculus and HTC Vive.

          AnonD-404798, 19 May 2016I guess even now iSuckers will deny fact that iOS is behind... moreNo, you are wrong! iFans will say you have to wait and wait until Apple release their own VR, it will be epic as usual. It doesn't matter who does first :)
