Of course Huawei is making a Gear VR rival

These are apparently the first VR headsets to offer 360-degree sound field on the go.

Huawei may have just announced the fancy P9 and P9 Plussmartphones in London last week, but it actually saved a little surprise for its Shanghai launch today. Well, we say "surprise" but it's also very much a "me too" thing at this point. Simply dubbed Huawei VR, this headset series will initially come in three flavors to let you slot in the company's most recent flagship devices: the two P9 phones and the larger Mate 8. Given their mere 1080p screen resolution, don't expect any crisp video quality through those goggles, but Huawei claims its VR solution is the first to offer 360-degree sound fieldon the go, as long as you have the right content loaded and your own headphones plugged in.
