The Oculus Go is a real bargain. It exceeds expectations in games and graphics fidelity.
First of all, I’ll give a tips on a couple of issues others have mentioned.
1. You can setup the Go without a phone do not need a phone. Hold down the up/down volume control and you will be taken a setup menu.
2. The Netflix app allows you to watch laying down, but you have to pick the “void theater” option.
The Oculus Go exceeded my expectations of what has been achieved on a mobile VR platform. Depending on the game, the graphics are crisp, using particle effects and reflective surfaces, etc. I originally bought the Go for just content consumption and video content. I can now see myself playing a few games too. For comparison I have the Oculus DK1, DK2, CV1 and the Samsung Odysey.
The battery life is subpar, but I overcame this by velcrowing a 5200mAh powerbank to the rear head strap. Not an ideal mod, but It does balance out weight in the front. The Oculus Go is a real bargain. It exceeds expectations in games and graphics fidelity.
