Virtual Reality (VR) and three-dimensional (3D) gaming are yet to become mainstream in India. And this is the case majorly because of the ultra-high price that these gimmicky devices come for. But finally, Reliance-owned Jio has launched its VR headset—the JioDrive. And the pricing of this device is really, really competitive.
Majority of the publicity of JioDrive has been around experiencing cricket matches in virtual reality. But there’s a lot that this headset can do, especially when it comes to playing some really cool games. As per Jio’s claims, the JioDrive supports playing 30+ 3D titles, like the most popular Sniper Rust.
With that said, let’s dive deep into the features and technical aspects of this VR gaming headset.
JioDrive Functions and Technical Specifications
First things first, the unboxing experience of JioDrive is pretty satisfying. In the box, you get the main unit, along with additional connectible cables and user manual. And when you get the device in hand, you can guess that only the price is cheap, and not the quality. To say, it won’t be wrong to mention that the quality is similar to premium-priced headsets.
Next up, the detailed manual explains how to adjust the focal setting and the lens adjustment to fit to your smartphone size. And speaking of smartphones, the JioDrive is compatible with more than 700 smartphones, so yeah, compatibility doesn’t seem like an issue.

The JioImmerse app available on Google Play Store and App Store helps in seamless connectivity.
