14 | Honor 7x (U.S. version) | 7 | Yes -- but with a caveat--> | Not a true gyroscope (see notes) | Yes | Beautiful phone, almost 6" screen for $200 on Amazon. The phone does not have a gyroscope listed in the specs, but I read a lot online that said it DOES have a gyroscope, so we ordered the phone. VR does work, BUT, it has this iratic wobbling as if it can't settle down. It almost immediately made me nauseous, but I never got sick at all when I was using my iPhone. An obscure Reddit post explained the issue: the phone really doesn't have a gyroscope, it is only simulated. "It uses the magnetometer for left/right movement detection and accelerometers/ gravity sensors for the rest. Stick a magnet at the back of the phone it will stop responding to left/right movement (or you can move the magnet and it will detecting movement)." We tested it, and it's true. We're returning the phone to get one with a real gyroscope. :( NOTE: from what I've read, only the U.S. version has released the update that enables the "gyroscope" functionality. -4.3.2018 | $200 | https://www.reddit.com/r/honor7x/comments/7ntd1i/confirmed_honor_7x_has_a_working_gyroscope/ | ||
