Verdict

The LG 360 VR is a lightweight, mobile-tethered headset designed exclusively for the LG G5, connecting via a USB Type-C cable rather than housing the phone internally. It features dual 1.88-inch IPS LCD displays with a resolution of 960x720 per eye (639 ppi), an 80-degree horizontal field of view, and built-in 6-axis motion tracking. Its primary advantages are its highly portable, foldable glass-like frame weighing only 118g and its independent lens focus adjustment that accommodates different eyesight needs. However, the device suffers from significant light leakage due to its open design, a limited library of compatible content, and a tendency to drain the connected smartphone's battery quickly during use.
