Google Cardboard is a kind of a Virtual reality headset. You can buy either Google Cardboard headset or other VR headset based on Google Cardboard design. Virtual reality is not that perfect, it is, but only with expensive hardware like Google Daydream, HTC and Microsoft’s VR handsets. On the other hand, Google Cardboard is very cheap and you get to experience virtual reality at home.
We’ve earlier gathered a list of virtual reality compatible phones, and some tips to determine if a phone is a virtual reality comparable.
But there is quite a confusion among people before buying a Google Cardboard “does it work with my mobile?” We coupled this list of Android phone that supports Google Cardboard out very well.
