Superior video quality over cardboard derivatives than gearvr !



today i managed to buy a VRBox 2 (a cheap cardboard derivative) as a gift to a friend who liked my GearVR but didn't have a samsung phone for a start . so i slipped my phone for a try out of curiosity ... when i fired the AAA Player and put on a random 3D video to my surprise it wasn't pixelated any like i am used to on GearVR , i seriously got used to GearVR pixelation thinking this is how the screen is and its because its too near and blahs , however this turned out not to be the case at all , so somehow its either occulus deliberately dithering videos (maybe to save on processing power or minimize heat) or something is wrong with its design so bad that a cheap 17$ set had it figured with ease .
the image was clear that i couldn't even tell it was made of pixels , 3D stereoscope had more depth and with prolonged use it didn't even came to heat half it did on SamsungVR , the only draw back was control (google is still at stone age in that aspect where often you need to dig out the phone to switch things) but yet it is still worth it.
so why am i saying this ? is a hint that we aren't really on the best out there .
by google and their market developers investing a little more onto user interfaces and adopting maybe Bluetooth game pads as a valid input device to control the apps the carpet could be pulled so hard on Samsung that people wont even remember there is a particular VR set for which :@
