Baofeng Mowang (2015)

Mowang

Presentation: Due to only developer headsets being launched they were always in a plain brown box with nothing in the way of branding at all. Just a headset in a box with some thick bubble wrap around it.

Mowang

Description: The Baofeng range of headsets has done well for its self and even the new Baofeng 4 is one of the very best mobile VR headsets. But now Baofeng Technologies has decided to enter the full VR headset world with the Mowang. Looking very much like the pubic release version of the Oculus rift this full VR headset will feature Android 5.1, Intel Z8700 processor, a 2K display, a nine-axis gyroscope and an FOV of 100° using a double lens!

It also has a built-in microphone, built-in headphones and an automatic cooling design to keep both you and the system cool. There will be 3 memory size options 32G, 64G and 128G. No news yet on specialised apps or games, but the system sounds and looks good that is for sure.

Review: As with any other basic android operating system the headset could only run mobile VR games, the same as a Google Cardboard headset. As with all of these types of headsets the ads in mobile VR games meant the games were simply unplayable. A full headset was never released, only several developer models. To be honest, it was no great loss.
