Hello and welcome to another article on HowToBunny and this time its a review. Its a review of the much talked Beta VR Kit from Boxight :)
The Boxight Beta VR Kit is inspired from Google Cardboard and is one of the cheapest ways of experiencing Virtual Reality in India.
First let me tell you what Google Cardboard is.Its a platform developed by Google to give people a Virtual Reality experience in a cheap price.You just need a compatible smartphone and a VR designed cardboard box to get one of the coolest experiences ever!
Now there is a twist in this project of Google.Google itself is not selling the designed cardboards but just offering the design to companies for manufacturing.In India,Boxight is ruling over the Virtual Reality accessories so its VR kits are the most popular.
What is virtual reality?
Virtual reality is the creation of an interactive virtual world.It is a way in which technology is used to create an enviroment which seems realistic to the user.Various sensors are used to create a virtual world.In simple words,you may walk on the streets of Paris,interact with cartoon characters or take a underwater dive even when you are sitting in your home.Cool,isnt it?
Note: Dont mis-understand virtual reality with augmented reality as they are two different concepts.
Boxight Beta VR Kit is based on the Google Cardboard design containing one cardboard,two lenses,two magnets and an elastic strap.So heres a complete review of the product and its Pros and Cons.
PRODUCT REVIEW
Looks
The new Boxight Beta VR Kit 2.0 looks stunning with the black and red colour.The previous version was a dull-looking one as it was plain cardboard with no colouring but this one looks great.It has the Boxight logo and name on the rear side and the colouring is done with good finishing.Assembling of the product is very easy and Boxight has presented many tutorial videos on that to make sure you get the thing done easily.
Quality
Considering the price,the quality of the product is quite good.Yes one notable part is that the glue-tape part is totally waste as the quality of glue is not very good.You may use your own glue for that.And you should keep in mind that its just a BETA kit just to let you try out Virtual Reality,but if you want a strong device to keep for years then you may opt for the little costlier PRO kit offered by Boxight.
Performance
There has been no compromise done in the performance part and the Beta VR kit gives you an awesome Virtual Reality experience.I tried running many apps and games and every one of them ran flawlessly.Needless to say,Boxight has done wonders in this price.
Durability
The Beta VR Kit is just delicate cardboard so it wont be very much durable.If you want a long-time one,you should go for the Boxight Pro VR Kit.
SERVICE REVIEW:
Price
Boxight has always manged to keep the price of the Beta VR Kit very low comparatively to others.And it often comes up with discounts and offers so in the pricing,Boxight is unbeatable.
Delivery
This is a negative point of Boxight. Though promising to deliver the products withing 15 days,Boxight usually takes about 1.5 months to get the product to your doorstep. Moreoever,there are even problems with the tracking of the orders.This is a part for Boxight to work on.
Packaging
Boxight is not good in packaging too.The kits are directly sent with their own packets and without any outer covering or anything for protection.Moreover,people buying the kits have often received packages with some items missing.Like in my own order,I did not get the elastic strap.So Boxight needs to take care of these things too.
PROS AND CONS OF THE BOIXGHT BETA VR KIT 2.0
