The Xiaomi VR Headset works with all phones that have a screen size between 4.7 inches and 5.7 inches- let's see how well it works with the HTC 10.

To set up the Mi VR Play with the HTC 10, first you need to download the QR Scanner App which scans the QR code that comes with the Xiaomi VR Headset's documentation.  Just tap the VR symbol to start downloading the Xiaomi VR App.

  

The Xiaomi VR App is all in Chinese. If you are using the headset outside China, you can also download the Google Cardboard App as well as other VR Apps like ARTE360 VR, Cardboard Camera, End Space VR, Full Dive VR and Hard Code. 

Let's walk through the Xiaomi VR App since it works great with the HTC 10. Once you download and open the App you can find many pre-stored videos. 

  

Tap on the bottom center blue button which has two dots inside to split the screen and view the video in Virtual Reality mode.

There will first be a reminder to insert the phone into the Xiaomi VR Headset as per below.

Once the phone is inserted, you can start experiencing the phone's split screen for each eye.        

This headset also comes with the strap that holds the headset in place and ensures that you do not need to hold it. Strap works good and provides proper fitting. The headset does not wobble if you move your head around. I am able to control and play the stored content from the HTC 10.

The Xiaomi VR Headset with the Xiaomi VR App on the HTC 10 can only play stored pre-stored content in the App and not online content from YouTube.  We didn't see this problem when using the LeEco Le Max 2 (click here to see that review).
