Re: Heads up! VR with phones can be cool... I totally agree with SPBpaymn on the heat thing. I spent ages messing with my S24 Ultra trying to get it to stay cool in a generic shell and honestly it was a struggle till I modded it. Been thinking about this more since I saw the post an hour ago and realized how many people might ruin their hardware this way. I actually tried one of those cheap plastic shells last month and the thermal throttling hit within like ten mins. My phone felt like a literal brick of lava lol. I ended up DIY-ing a solution with a small blower fan I had lying around. It actually works well now and I am satisfied with the results. Here is what I learned to avoid:

• stay away from headsets that seal the phone in an airtight plastic box
• avoid anything that doesnt have adjustable focal lengths because youll end up straining your eyes trying to fix the blur
• dont use high brightness while the phone is strapped in or youll definitely kill the oled lifespan Im pretty satisfied with how my custom rig behaves tho. No complaints since I added the ventilation. Those generic plastic viewers are basically ovens for a high-end chip like the one in the S24 Ultra so just be careful... anyway just my experience.

Hey! I'm pretty new to VR, but I grabbed a used Oculus Go (around $100) just to see if my S24 Ultra would play nice. Honestly, I'm happy! It's not cutting-edge, but with an adapter cable (USB-C to whatever the Go needs), it works surprisingly well for basic stuff. No complaints for the price! Maybe worth a shot before dropping big bucks?

Check USB-C bandwidth! Meta Quest 2 (used) might work; resolution is key.

Honestly, VR on phones is kinda gimmicky these days. I've had issues with several cheaper headsets. Instead of a dedicated headset, have you considered a decent phone mount for sim racing? Much more practical for $300 and you'll actually use it.

Hey! For VR with your S24 Ultra, I've been doing some digging. Seems like Meta Quest 2 is a popular choice. From what I've read, a lot of people seem happy with it, especially considering the price point. Have you looked into the Meta ecosystem at all? Just curious if that matters to you.

Heads up! VR with phones can be cool, but gets HOT fast, especially with the S24 Ultra. Overheating can throttle performance and, in rare cases, damage the phone. I'd research heat dissipation carefully before buying *any* headset. Consider a used Oculus Quest 2 instead – safer bet, and often under $200. Just my two cents, stay safe!
