HTC Unveils Semi-Standalone Link VR Headset Compatible with the U11

HTC has just unveiled a new VR headset which will be paired with the company’s latest flagship smartphone, the HTC U11. HTC Link VR headset comes with six degrees of freedom (6DOF) tracking, something that’s not found in many major VR headsets, according to UploadVR.  

HTC Link can be paired with HTC’s latest smartphone, the U11, delivering an immersive experience for smartphone users. The VR headset represents the gateway to virtual reality content, providing users with the possibility to explore apps and play games with 360-degree field of view.

The reason why U11 is compatible with the HTC Link is the phone’s Snapdragon 835 and 4GB of RAM combo. The Qualcomm platform fares well in terms of graphics, thanks to its Adreno 540 GPU. The same platform and GPU can be found on the Galaxy S8, although the latter comes with fewer RAM.

HTC Link comes with two 3.6-inch displays
