Top 5 VR headsets for Android Phones- 2017(Updated)

May 9, 2017 by Shrey 12 Comments

The best VR headsets for Android Phones had been mentioned in one of my older top 5 VR headsets for Android Phones post but since then there are a lot of newer editions being launched by most of the leading VR headset companies. This calls for another top 5 post where you can check out the updated version of these VR headsets and if they have gotten any better from their previous models.

If you have an iPhone then there is a similar post which you can go ahead and check out on this website called Top 5 VR headsets for iPhone but for now let’s get started with the list of the best VR headsets that is available for Android phones out there.

1. Gear VR 2017 Version

The new Gear VR which was recently released alongside the Samsung Galaxy S8 is one of the top VR headsets in the list. The premium quality of the VR headset and the work by team Oculus definitely makes this VR headset one of the best that we have for smartphones.

Gear VR does have limited compatibility and that is one of the major reasons that not all of us are able to experience VR with this amazing VR headset. The 2017 version even comes with a remote controller and with the new release, there are a lot of new games that are coming to the Oculus Store.

The VR experience on the Gear VR cannot be compared to any of the VR headsets in the list and that makes the competition tougher for other VR headsets. The Gear VR has these amazing features where you can browse the internet in VR and the supporting software comes with a lot of great content which includes games and amazing experiences. Check out the Gear VR on amazon and let us know what you think about the VR headset.

2. Homido V2 Virtual Reality Headset

The newer version of the Homdio VR is pretty impressive and thoughtful. The new features and upgrades make this VR headset one of the best that you could possibly pair your android phones with. Although you might want to consider getting a Bluetooth controller to pair up with the headset for extensive gaming.

Looking into lighter gaming and experiences, the VR headset will work just fine. From the previous Homido VR headset, this Homido V2 has a better build quality and comfort. It has increased FOV and lens quality that will allow you to have better VR experiences.

The Homido V2 has gone better for good giving us more reasons to buy this VR headset. Although the VR headset can be relatively expensive than the other but it is worth the money. You can read the complete detailed analysis on the Homido V2 Virtual Reality headset and if you want to check out more features on the headset then do check out the link below.

3. Noon VR Plus

With a lot of complaints with the previous version of this VR headset, the Noon VR Plus is one of the other revamped VR headsets that has been introduced recently. The Noon VR plus comes with an additional remote feature which solves the problem of ‘not having enough content’ by allowing you to stream your PC on your phone enabling you to have a better VR experience.

The Noon VR headset is one of the premium VR headsets that you are looking at and has a great FOV and lens quality. The VR headset is compatible with most of the phones having the screen sizes ranging between 4.7-6inches.

The Noon VR comes with an eye tracking software and that helps you play most of the games just by using that software. It is really impressive how Noon VR has taken the initiative to improve the older VR headset and add features solving its old problems. You can check out the complete review of the Noon VR plus before making a purchase or if you are interested in the VR headset then do check it out on Amazon.

4. Merge VR headset

This is an old buddy and is one of the best VR headsets that we have around. With a massive drop in price, the Noon VR is now available for $59.99 and is one of the most durable VR headsets that you could pair with your android phones.

The headset material is unique and you would even like its catchy purple color. There are people who find the color off-putting but to me, it looks really exotic.

Moreover, I do not see a point in cribbing about the color when you would be in the VR world. The content on the Merge VR headset is pretty amazing and you should definitely consider getting one if you do not have one of the Samsung compatible phones to buy the Gear VR. The content on the Merge VR is pretty huge and you would never run out of games unlike most of the other VR headset where the content is pretty limited.

Read the complete review on the Merge VR headset and we even have a comparison video between the Samsung Gear VR and the Merge VR.

I recommend buying the Merge VR from the official site would get you a 30-day guarantee and a one year warranty as well so go ahead and check out the Merge VR.

5. Freefly VR

This VR headset is another premium VR headset which is compatible with both Android Phones and iPhones. It has a pretty good FOV and the VR experience with this VR headset is immersive. It is a great VR headset for android phones and hence it makes second on the list of top Best Budget VR headsets for Android Phones.

The quality of VR on this headset is pretty good although it may not be as great as the Oculus developed Samsung Gear VR but it is still worth the money. There are a lot of possibilities that you could go for with the Freefly VR and one of them even involves syncing it with a drone.

This VR headset comes with a controller as well which would help you in navigation and has a fairly good amount of content to browse from. This is one of the best VR headsets that you can find in the swarm of cheap Chinese VR headsets. In order to get the full specifications and other details of this VR headset, read the complete review of Freefly VR headset.

    I like the look of your site, it’s clutter free and very easy to read.
    The reviews are great and have great content. your page gives a great overview to the headsets and it makes it really easy to compare them. I also like the different uses for VR that you have, it gives another avenue to people who are not gamers.
    good work, keep it up.

    Thanks for the great list and where to buy the updated VR Heatsets for Samsung/Android Products. This is a quickly changing market and it’s awesome to see a new comparison guide come out. Which VR Headset would you recommend for a noob that hasn’t used one before?

      Merge VR headset but if you have a Gear VR compatible phone then you can go for the Gear VR as well. Other than these two the ones mentioned in the list are pretty good as well!

    Hey,
    The reviews helped a lot. Could you maybe write reviews on headsets available in india?
    Only the samsung gear and FreeFly are available in INDIA and both are very expensive devices.
    The Homido that is available here has very low ratings.
    The xiaomi VR is very cheap and affordable but i’m not sure if its worth the buy.

    Let me know, thank you.

      Well, you can even get the Merge VR in India and sadly the VR headsets are a little expensive but the Merge would cost around INR 3k which is a pretty good investment. The other VR headsets are actually not that great, especially the cheap ones that cost around INR 1k.

      I have heard so many people complaining about the ANT VR in India and that is the reason I do not suggest that you go for anything less than the Merge VR. I suggest you save up and buy a Merge VR rather than settling for a low-quality VR headset. 

      Hope this helps.

    I was looking fro a VR headset that would be great for playing games, looking at all the recommendations, I think the Merge VR would be perfect since  I have heard a lot of good about the headsets over other sites as well, just wanted you opininon, is the Merge VR a good option for someone into gaming?

    I am glad I found your post, because my son is in the market for a headset and will also be getting an iPhone soon, but right now he has an android. I will show him this because I think that the FreeFly VR is the best option since it can be used with both phones. I also like the budget price point.

    Currently got a Samsung Galaxy S8 and I had no idea that you could even VR headsets with them until I saw this. So yeah, that’s pretty freakin cool!

    The Homido V2 looks pretty cool and I’m definitely debating it. Price is a little steep but I would say it’s justifiable 🙂

    Thanks for awesome reviews!

    Jack

      Well, you should go for the brand new Samsung Gear VR-2017 since that would be the best choice for your phone. You have an amazing phone so do not lose on the opportunity of buying Gear VR!
