Huawei unveils its own VR headset

Huawei is entering the virtual reality space with its own headset, succinctly named the Huawei VR. It seems to be going directly against the Samsung Gear VR. It also works with Huawei's new flagships: the P9, P9 Plus, and Mate 8. Putting it a bit at a disadvantage is the phones only support up to 1080p Full HD. If that isn't much of an issue to you, the Huawei VR does have something its competitors don't have yet: 360-degree sound. The headset also features a 95-degree field-of-vision, which is almost the same as 96-degree FoV for the Gear VR. It also has a slew of free content its competitors can't match yet with over 4,000 movies, 40 games, 150 panoramic tours, and 350 panoramic images. No word yet on pricing and availability though.
