10 Reviews: Best VR for Phone (Apr 2024)

Google Cardboard makes immersive experiences accessible to everyone in a simple and cost-effective way. You’re just one step away from enjoying virtual reality on your smartphone, whether you fold your own or purchase a certified viewer. Cardboard is compatible with most Android and iOS phones with screens ranging from 4 to 6 inches in size. It also contains an interactive click button that works on any phone that is compatible with it.

Works very well with larger screen phones but also with smaller screen phones

Destek’s VR headset for mobile now comes with a one-handed Bluetooth controller that looks like a Joy-Con. The lenses contain anti-blue light and anti-reflective coatings. They’re also aspheric, with a non-spherical surface that reduces distortion. A pupil distance button complements these lenses, allowing you to fine-tune the headset to match your eyes. Furthermore, this headset is compatible with the majority of glasses.

This is a gift for my nephew. He likes it very much. With this goggle, he could watch 3d movies. And also play some visual games. It brings him a lot of fun. The operation is easy with a cell phone and some apps.

Simple to set up and use. Simply download a VR app onto your phone and insert it into this 3D glasses headset to begin your virtual reality trip. Individual lenses for different eye sights are adjustable on the VR goggle’s pupil distance and object distance, allowing you to customize and enjoy sharp images. Furthermore, this model is compatible with the majority of non-curved smartphones with screen sizes ranging from 5-7.0 inches.

This VR headset is very easy to set up, my mobile phone fits inside it perfectly. It has an adjustable lens to get maximum clarity. I installed VR app on my phone which has lots of VR compatible videos and documentaries. It’s really amazing to see videos in 360 degrees, highly recommended.

The VeeR Falcon Headset with Controller is one of our favorites because it’s so pleasant to use all day. It has an HD resin aspheric lens that produces a high-resolution image that prevents dizziness when watching 360 videos for extended periods of time. You can also change the lens at any time to see a crisper image. It also has a controller that syncs with an Android smartphone.

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it, I'm not sure if it works without the phone, but I know her LG phone works and fits like a glove, best investment and present I bought for her as far as her liking it.

The BNEXT headset, which is compatible with all iPhones except the bigger X Max and Pro models, has quickly become one of the most popular VR headsets for smartphone users. It supports maximum screen size of 6.3 inches and comes with focal adjustment for a better viewing experience. The strap is fully adjustable, making it suitable for both adults and children, and for less than $50, it is affordable to most people.

super easy to set up- works with my iphone and husbands samsung phone. you download the app and slide the phone in. my kdis and my husband can't stop playing with it. they pretended to go on waterslides, mars, and the ocean. it feels really real

The second-generation Homido VR headset continues to offer a 100-degree field of view, as well as compatibility with the latest iPhones all the way back to the 5S, all in a slimmer design. With space for specs within the faux leather, interchangeable seal, it’s also suited for glasses wearers. Relax. If headsets aren’t your thing, Homido also sells virtual reality glasses.

I use this as an FPV for a DJI drone. Works great and is very comfortable. Really like the magnetic catch rather than struggling with a mechanical latch. Mounting the cell phone is a breeze.

Immerse yourself in a virtual world and bring a story to life! The Mattel View-Master Deluxe is a new take on the popular 1980s reel toy. This Google Cardboard headgear outperforms the competition. It also has a nice design and a headphone jack for greater sound quality. What’s more, the price has been drastically reduced.

Recognizable brand and well made. Most VR headsets like this don't have the ability to adjust the view, my son has glasses and he can adjust it so he can see clearly. Plus the kids have dropped a time or two and the Viewer is strong and reliable. Very happy with purchase. Fit's most phones, IPHONE and Android.

Unlike the majority of VR headsets, the Merge VR Goggles are comprised of soft, squishy foam. It contributes to the headset’s lightness and comfort. It also has a customizable strap that suits everyone aged 10 and above, adjustable lenses, and two buttons for interacting with your virtual reality content. The Merge VR headset is ideal for parents seeking a fun method to help their children learn at home.

I’ve tried 2 different phone - LG Stylo 5 & an iPhone11 pro maxiPhone was extremely tight & LG fit better. Picture quality very easy on the eyes. My autistic daughter could work it better than me. She enjoys using it.

Nintendo’s Labo Kits are some of the most innovative console add-ons in recent years. For astonishing and imaginative outcomes, these cardboard constructions mix DIY with gaming. It’s no different with the Nintendo Labo VR Kit. It allows you to make your own virtual reality headset out of cardboard and then insert your Nintendo Switch into it. Simple VR goggles, as well as a Toy-Con blaster, a bird, a camera, and more, are all possible.

Awesome games and creative ideas. The 8 year old had an easy time setting everything up with the on screen instructions.

Samsung’s Gear VR is one of the few remaining true mobile VR headsets. All you have to do is insert your smartphone into the device to enjoy over 600 games and a ton of 360-videos. The touchpad, volume controls, and home/back buttons are located on the right side of the mobile VR headset, while the rotating wheel is utilized to adjust the distance between the phone and display lenses. A companion controller is also included in the box, which is useful while playing VR games.

Best for Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Compared to generic VR this is worth the investment.
