Xiaomi Mi VR Play 2 unveiled at Rs. 1000; sale debuts on April 19

Today, Xiaomi was believed to unveil its flagship Mi 6 smartphone. But, the company has quietly unveiled the second generation VR glasses called Mi VR Play 2. Notably, it was in the last year that the company took the wraps off the Mi VR Play.

The second generation VR glasses from Xiaomi ditches the rectangular design seen in the original model. Instead, it features a pill-shaped front and a curved profile on the whole. The new design will make the Mi VR Play 2 smaller than the yesteryear model. Besides this, it uses a single elastic nylon headband while the Mi VR Play of 2016 uses adjustable straps and a zipper. The zipper's absence might not suit all as it helped in keeping the phone secure when houses in the VR headset.
