5 Best VR For OnePlus 6T

Virtual reality launched a couple of years ago to a lot of hesitation. Not a whole lot of people were sure about the technology at the time, though now it’s starting to catch on, especially as the headsets improve and become more powerful. Many headset brands are becoming exclusive to certain brands of phones — such as the Gear VR for Samsung phones or the Daydream View for Daydream-ready phones. So if you have a OnePlus 6T, is there a platform available for you specifically? The answer is yes!

If you follow along below, we’ll show you the best virtual reality headsets that you can pick up for the OnePlus 6T. Here are our top picks.

 

Daydream View

Coming up as first on our list is the Daydream View. The OnePlus 6T doesn’t work as a Daydream-ready smartphone, but there is a way that you can force it. (instructions here). That said, it might be worth picking up the Daydream View for your OnePlus 6T, as it is one of the best virtual reality experiences available today. You’ll be able to experience all of the excellent content available on Netflix and Hulu VR, as well as the many games available now.

Lenovo Mirage Solo

The Lenovo Mirage Solo comes in as second on our list and is easily our favorite way to use virtual reality. It doesn’t require a smartphone to sit in the headset. You just need to download the Mirage Solo app on your OnePlus 6T, and then pair it up with the VR hardware. After that, you’re ready to roll. Just put the VR headset on, power it on, and then you can enter Lenovo’s world of virtual reality. That does mean you get somewhat poor battery life — after just a couple of hours of use, you will have to power it down and throw it on the charger to use it again.

One of the neat things about the Mirage Solo is that it has excellent weight distribution. You’ll be to use it for a couple of hours straight without feeling a whole lot of discomfort.

Oculus GO

Coming in as third on our list, the Oculus GO is an impressive piece of hardware that doesn’t require your smartphone to be sitting in a headset. All you have to do is download the Oculus GO app on your OnePlus 6T, pair it up with the actual Oculus GO hardware, and then you’re ready to enter the world of virtual reality. All the hardware you need is built right into the Oculus Go. It even comes with a remote so that you don’t have to use head tracking to navigate menus. The one “con” is that you can only use it for a couple of hours before needing to juice it up again!

VeeR Oasis

Coming in as the fourth contender on our list, we have the VeeR Oasis. Many of the virtual reality headsets on our list have become independent, not requiring your smartphone to sit inside of it to use. Those come with a heftier price tag, which makes the VeeR Oasis just a little bit more attractive — it used standard VR technology, so it’ll only cost you a few dollars. With great weight distribution, you’ll be able to use this headset for hours without too much discomfort.

One of the neat things about the VeeR Oasis is that it comes with a remote. That means you don’t have to use head tracking all the time to navigate through the realm of VR.

VR Elegiant

If you just want a standard virtual reality headset, the VR Elegiant is an excellent choice. It’s perfect for those that are on a budget. It won’t cost you more than a few dollars, and it’s simple to use. Set it inside the headset, and the OnePlus 6T will act as the main processing system, while the “lens” will give you what you need to see the VR. The nice thing about the Elegiant is just how versatile it is — it works for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.
