Unpacking and Accessories
When I got this product from the courier, the first reaction was: the product package is quite small! It was much smaller than when I got Samsung Gear VR 4 at the time. The second reaction was particularly light, the official said that this storm mirror only 220g, weighed a bit, it really deserved reputation. Perhaps because of the appearance of the product, the outer packaging uses a pure white box. In addition to the necessary storm mirror logo and production information, there is no other redundant design, concise and clear.
Storm S1's accessories are the same as usual products, no more, quite a few, quite satisfactory. Two T-type headsets, remote control, two AA batteries, product manuals, spare phone adapter pads. Here is a brief introduction of the mobile phone adapter pad. If it is a mobile phone with a screen size of less than 5 inches, the adapter pad can be glued to the bottom of the machine compartment and the mobile phone can be raised to achieve the best viewing effect.
Appearance and wearing experience
From the outside alone, I have to praise the products of this storm, both from the appearance of the design and workmanship is very good. It is no exaggeration to say that this product can be described as the face value of the storm mirror. Pure white body, simple and generous, sleek design, fresh and elegant. Compared with the previous product Panda color, novel and unique, it makes people shine. The S1's mobile phone compartment and front bezel design have also been changed this time, with a closed snap design that makes it look more like a box, and a sponge inside the bezel to better fit the phone without shaking . Place the phone in the bin and gently hold it tightly. Touch the top buckle switch to open the front cover of the phone compartment. Compared with the previous plug-type design, it is convenient for many, many solid and safe.
When I first got this product, if it wasn't for a long time, I really didn't know where it was. The adjustment knobs are placed on both sides of the fuselage and are integrated with the head-mounted interface. This design can be said to be quite "hidden". It is difficult to be discovered if you do not follow the rules. Storm mirror S1 is also a bit of an effort on the use of materials. Foam sponges on the head and face are made of skin-like materials. In particular, the sponge that is combined with the face is soft and delicate. It feels really like a skin, greatly reducing the pressure on the eyes and head, and it is comfortable to wear. However, there was no sponge design for the bridge of the nose, which was considered as a drawback of this product. When it was worn, there was a light leakage phenomenon, but it was okay and not serious.
T-style headwear design is still common in the vast number of VR products. Simple installation, moderate tightness, and freedom of adjustment. In addition to the 220g weight advantage of S1, it will not feel tired even if it is used for a long time. The storm mirror used Fresnel lenses for the first time. Although as a grassroots evaluation, I didn't know much about this Fresnel, but I also did my homework privately. The Fresnel lens is designed according to the principle of the French optical physicist FRENEL. The focusing screens are frosted glass, which effectively reduces the effect of the screen window. When you look closely, you will find that the surface of the lens has a ring in a circle. The official said there are a total of 122 Ring belts, each belt is involved in imaging, its advantages are bright and uniform brightness, the screen is more delicate and clear, can effectively avoid the ordinary lens appears dark edges, fuzzy distortion phenomenon. This point is really convincing with my gear vr.
Play on the machine
Compared with my Samsung Gear VR 4, Storm Mirror s1 also has its own independent app. Although the interface UI does not have Samsung's luxury, it is also regarded as the best in the hundred-dollar VR product. After the handle is fitted, the handle can be used to operate. It is convenient and convenient to play games or watch videos. Unlike gear vr, it's really hard to hold the touchpad with your hand. In terms of the content of the app, there are many types of storm mirrors.
However, compared to Samsung, Samsung is indeed superior, but most of Samsung need to spend money, free and not very fun, so the storm mirror is still considered to be the conscience of the industry. Because when I signed up for the test, I used the vivo x7 plus and the Samsung s7 edge to write reviews. However, in practice, I found that the vivo x7 plus is really too large to fit into the Storm s1. It is also a pity that it is impossible to bring more detailed evaluations to the majority of tiger friends. However, with regard to the excellent performance of Fresnel lenses, when dealing with screens with different levels of resolution, you should also be able to reach the best level, so that the gap between the two is as small as possible.
to sum up
I think the price of 199 is equipped with such work and hardware. It is still worthwhile to start in the mobile vr market. On the whole, Storm Mirror s1 not only satisfies ordinary users' curiosity about VR, but also can experience the immersive and panoramic effects brought by VR. This time, the product has lost many of the drawbacks of VR. It has been designed to be lighter and more comfortable. In terms of craftsmanship, it has become more sophisticated and refined, and it has already achieved very good quality in its class.
However, with the mobile phone adapter pad, seemingly intimate, in fact, a make up for design defects. There is room for improvement in the light leakage caused by the absence of lining at the bridge of the nose. Generally speaking, this is a good product with good quality and low price. With its good parameter configuration and high price/performance ratio, it has attracted the attention and pursuit of the majority of players. I believe that in the near future, sales will lead all the way to become the most sought-after vr device.
