The Best VR Phones As Of October 2024

The Best VR Phones As Of October 2024


This list presenting the latest VR phones includes only phones that satisfy these specs:

  • For our list of the best VR phones, we focused on specs that matter most for virtual reality, in particular display fineness (DPI) and screen refresh rate when available (We wish there were more phones with a 120Hz display)
  • Processing power matters too for VR and we want RAM, lots of it. Smartphones with less than 4GB of RAM did not make it to this list
  • On a very crucial side note, we do understand that hardcore gamers looking at this list may find some of the models suggested to be not exactly gaming or VR phones (and we would all like the best refresh rates, graphic processing units and display fineness ratings), but we need to keep our expectations realistic in the context of 2017/2018, which only marks the beginning of smartphone virtual reality, so we decided to keep a fair balance between the needs of virtual reality and your ability to get a great overall smartphone - one that gathered the best reviews. Therefore, some of the phones listed here as VR models are not necessarily sold as such, but sport features (in particular, display features) that we think may render one of the best VR experience currently available on smartphones.
