    This is cool but it wasn't as cool as I thought it would be. Still not a lot of content out there and I thought the image would be much sharper given how great the phone screen looks. A little disappointed.

    So many cool features and gaming. Watching movies on it is pretty cool as well. Best to buy controller for gaming so you don't have to tap side panel to move things around. I can access pics and text messages as well. Phone (Samsung S7) gets hot rather quickly so use with caution and charge as needed. Otherwise great for fun for the entire family.

    I didn't really know what to expect when I purchased this but I'm glad I did. The apps are really cool and it makes you feel like you are right there. I will say that I got a headache the first time I used it but I think it was because my screen was too bright.
