Although in recent days you we had communicated that Xiaomi's arrival in the virtual reality sector was scheduled for August 1st, it seems that everything has been postponed to August 4th, that is tomorrow. To further confirm the existence of the Xiaomi Mi VR (name to be confirmed) we think a leaked photo that emerged on the net poco make sure that the device is immortalized.
As you can see, this is a VR viewer that needs a smartphone to be inserted inside. This device should also be one of the first VR viewers to be compatible with the new Google Daydream platform that will be launched officially with Android 7.0 Nougat.
On the net there are also some details about the price and about marketing. What we almost never understand, these indications refer to the US market and not to the Chinese market (where Google has a much smaller influence over the US). The Xiaomi Mi VR should have a $ 99 cost and then enter into direct competition with the new Samsung Gear VR presented yesterday with the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
Analyzing everything in a general way, Xiaomi will be a very important step because, for the first time, it comes to a market at the very moment it is created. In addition, as a platform developed by Google, the popularity of the Xiaomi brand in the US will benefit greatly.
