#xiaomi vr headset

In July 2017, we reported that Oculus announced a $200 standalone VR headset to be produced by Chinese mobile maker Xiaomi. Now, the wait is finally over, as Oculus has finally announced their partnerships with Xiaomi and Qualcomm at CES 2018. Xiaomi is now officially Oculus' hardware partner for the Oculus Go, and the two companies will be jointly announcing the Mi VR Standalone, which is exclusively for the Chinese market. Both devices are standalone VR headsets that pack the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 Mobile VR Platform under the hood. While last year, it was rumored that the headset would cost $200, no official pricing has been announced yet, nor has availability. Xiaomi, a well-known smartphone brand in China, has just unveiled their latest Android smartphone that packs impressive mid-range specs coupled with an equally impressive entry-level price tag, the Redmi. The Xiaomi Redmi is a dual-SIM droid that sports a 4.7-inch HD IPS display with Gorilla Glass 2, a MediaTek quad-core CPU, 1GB RAM, and an 8 megapixel f/2.2 aperture camera. Chinese phone manufacturer Xiaomi confirmed entering the phablet scene with the Redmi Note (Redmi's successor) which will be available for pre-orders in less than a week.
