Hi guys, I bought my XZ Premium in December after enjoying my Z5 Premium for until it was stolen at my gym centre while I was in the shower....grrr! But the xz premium is a wonderful upgrade anyway. It came with Oreo 8.0 and I have never updated it since. I love everything the phone is...

Hey everyone There is a new phone called Razer which claims 120hz refresh rate on its LCD display released a month ago now. This feels like an exciting new phone to get as a VR fan. I am assuming being LCD, it has an RGB type matrix with 3 sub-pixels making this the most superior display for...

The caveat in owning a Z5P for VR in 4K mode, is that its not great an experience to using it for all other smartphone purposes as its a hassle to keep switching 4k to 1080p mode via the PC ADB console. Leaving it in 4k mode, makes it quite fiddly to use the touch screen in some apps. Using...

I have been taking screenshots of apps and posting them here whose properties show 3840X2160 resolution, ie 4k. (I am on Marshmallow 6.0. Havent received 6.1 update yet on my EE network. Question is, is the contents actually 4k? Some apps may be just doubling/quadrupling up to fill a 4k...

I realise that is the case but I have switched my phone's overall resolution to 4K via ADB. This has made an incredible difference to most non VR apps, in particular Google Chrome which now seem to act like a desktop version with tabs. Although text is small, its crisp and sharp and given the...

Someone posted up a question on if the apps we run our phone is actually in 4K and got me thinking, how can I be I sure that the VR apps I am running are actually in 4k? Am I deceiving myself thinking that the Cmoar Virtual Cinema is in 4k? I have asked in a couple of places on this forum how...

I think to be absolutely sure which I will happily test is to run an overlay script or app that can tell me if the VR apps or games I run is in fact in 4k. So I see there are overlay apps to determine the FPS of a game. It will be nice to know it there is something similar to determine the...

I have now also got the BoboVR V4 and I have to say its even better than VR Fiit which I love. There are caveats though. The Bobovr v4 comes with its own permanantly fixed on headphones so you cannot use your own. Its decent enough sound quality but I would have preferred my own quality...

Hi guys Some apps may run in different resolutions and I'd like to know what resolution a specific app is running in. I see there are overlay apps that show FPS for instance for games but are there any that shows the resolution? If not, how could one write a script for it. I am currently...

Sorry: Ignore. I posted this in wrong thread. Hi guys. I have a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium phone with a 4k display. This display is potentially awesome for VR apps. But its down to the apps/games to use the display. What I want is to determine what PPI or resolution an app is running in. Is...

Personally, a definite improvement. But perhaps read my detailed reviews on Amazon to gauge whether my prioritised needs match yours: VR Fiit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/review/RJDS38AFAYXQ1/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm Hiem III: https://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R2DPYONOOAGF6A/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

Well in the end I never bother with ADP and just waited for the EE to roll out the Marshmallow upgrade which happily got pushed several days ago. And wow, I have been enjoying watching my blu ray rips ever since. So using a VR Fiit headset (the best of its type that I have tried so far) with a...

HI Guys, I see you all have been working hard on getting that 4K of pixels to shine with this adp adjustment :) That's awesome. Before I follow suit, can I ask if any of you have tested watching 1080p movies through a VR headset? Does it give less SDE as what I would have expected an 803 ppi...

I am using Riem III VR headset which houses it fine. Most VR headsets appear to accommodate large phones. I have now ordered a Fiit VR which looks to be a better headset overall. Riem III is a let down with its suction pad blocking vent holes and lack of focal adjustment (though, the reason...

Hi xaser, I upgraded to this phone specifically for its potential for virtual reality. I was disappointed to learn that I need Marshmallow to unlock 4k in third party apps (I'm on EE and it hasnt been rolled out yet :( ) but I can tell you without hesitation that watching my 1080p movies in SBS...
