The editors didn't like
Poor app selection
Needs more degrees of freedom
Right now
Virtual reality on the cheap requires either a piece of cardboard in which you precariously set your smartphone for some barebones “immersive” virtual reality
Or headsets like the Samsung Gear
Go does what it can to make "3DOF" head tracking feel comfortable
But new users may struggle with that cost-cutting limitation
The hand controller
On the other hand
Blows an opportunity to add better tracking or more buttons to GearVR's simpler scheme
Doesn't track position
Just one motion controller
Underpowered compared with tethered and flagship smartphone-powered headsets
Limited software library
Two-hour battery life. It's a sit-down experience (no room tracking). No expandable storage. No kid-safe settings. Lacks multiple account options
Battery only lasts two hours
Three degrees of freedom
Not as powerful as Windows Mixed Reality or Oculus Rift
A completely standalone VR headset, A huge library of VR games and experiences, Lightweight, portable and cheaper than anything else out there
No fast-charging systems, Lack of 6DoF for VR experiences
Oculus Go represents a step in the right direction for VR. It's certainly not for the hardcore VR convert, nor the professional VR user, as both demand the kind of processing power which currently only PCs (and, to a lesser extent, consoles) can deliver.W...
The Oculus Go has the potential to really show the masses the potential of VR. While smartphone-powered VR has always been the go-to, the Oculus Go provides a much better overall experience in a nice, simple package that requires no smartphone or PC to wo...

Abstract: VR has been on the cusp of becoming popular for what seems like a decade. It's come closer and closer but never quite managed to make it. The tech's not been ready. There hasn't been the killer app. It's been too complicated. Those all have their element...

Affordable, all-in one, App and game game looks promising, Good visuals
Limited tracking, Nose gap, Stop gap headset
The Oculus Go is a really fun, really simple VR headset that has given us what we've been asking for. It elevates mobile VR rather than seeking to compete with high-end PC VR with a strong - about to get stronger - app store, an impressive display for the...

Comfortable in short doses, Easy to setup, Audio is well done
Lacking for content, Screen is so-so
The Oculus Go is a really odd product. It's affordable, easy to use and as comfortable as you could expect for a limited amount of time. That's not something you can say about most VR headsets, which can can come across as flimsy, cost thousands of pounds...

And this is where Oculus Go wins: price. Xiaomi is known for its affordable devices, and Oculus Go is a prime example. No other VR device comes close to Go for sheer affordability.At £200 for the 32GB version and £250 for the 64GB it's a huge step down fr...
Wireless VR is joyful, Easy-to-use controller, User-friendly interface and intuitive navigation, Affordable pricepoint, Brilliant design features, Spatial sound without headphones, Comfortable to wear
Some issues with motion-sickness, Battery life is a bit short, Straight edges of the screen are visible at times, Some experiences are blocky and underwhelming, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift are still that much better
The Oculus Go is a well-crafted virtual reality headset. It doesn't need a smartphone or gaming PC to run, so it's incredibly affordable and open to anyone and everyone. The fact it's wireless makes it a joy to use, while the focus on design comfort make...
