FAQ Section
Q1: What exactly does “VR integration” mean for a smartphone?
It means the phone has the hardware (display, refresh rate, sensors), software and connectivity to support virtual reality/augmented reality experiences — either via a headset or through internal AR apps. Phones listed are noted in “phones with AR/VR features” lists. (analyticsinsight.net)
Q2: Do I need a separate VR headset for these phones?
Yes — while the phone itself provides the processing and display, real VR immersion typically requires a compatible headset or glasses (some mobile-VR headsets or AR glasses) plus the phone output.
Q3: Are there many VR apps available in Malaysia?
There are growing numbers of VR and AR apps, especially for games, media viewing, virtual tours and productivity. But local content may still be less than mainstream apps. Ensure your device supports the headset and apps you intend.
Q4: Which VR-capable phone gives the best value in Malaysia?
From the list above, if budget allows, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is standout. But for value, the Xiaomi 15 or the Honor X9d offer strong performance at lower RM cost.
Q5: What’s the difference between “VR readiness” and just a good phone?
A good phone may have strong specs, but “VR-readiness” emphasises features like high refresh rate display, good sensors/motion tracking, and compatibility with VR hardware. Without these, VR experience may suffer (motion sickness, lag, poor visuals).
Q6: Should I wait for future devices instead of buying now?
If you’re not urgent, waiting may fetch even better VR features (higher refresh rates, dedicated VR/AR sensors, better headsets). But the phones above are solid now for VR/AR in Malaysia.
Final Verdict
If I were to recommend one clear pick for Malaysian buyers in 2025 wanting VR integration: go with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra — the best all-rounder for performance, display and VR/AR experience.
If your budget is tighter, the Samsung Galaxy S25 or Xiaomi 15 provide excellent value while still giving you strong VR capability.
If this is your first dive into VR with a phone, the Honor X9d or Huawei Pura 70 are solid budget gateways.
