Checking if JioDive Works With Your Phone
So you are so excited but before buying do check whether the JioDive VR can work with your phone or not.
The key things we need to check are:
- Display size – Between 4.7″ and 6.7″
- Operating system – Android 9+ or iOS 15+
- Sensors – You need a gyroscope and accelerometer
I’ll break it down for both #teamAndroid and #teamiPhone so you know if you cut!
Jio Dive VR Headset: For Android Users
Most modern Android smartphones already come equipped with the necessary sensors and recent enough OS versions.
Here are some popular models that will work nicely with the JioDive:
- Samsung Galaxy S, Note, A, M, and F series
- OnePlus 8 series and above
- Xiaomi Mi 10 series and above
- Oppo Reno series
- Vivo X60 series and above
- Realme 8 Pro and above
- Poco X3 series and above
If your phone model is from the previous 2-3 years, I think you’ll be fine!
For iPhone Users
Considering iOS 16 is the current version, pretty much any iPhone capable of upgrading to iOS 15+ will work with JioDive. This includes:
- iPhone 8 and above
- iPhone SE (2nd Gen) and above
The main thing is just checking if your phone has a gyroscope. But don’t worry – all iPhones from the iPhone 6S onwards have it!
If you have an older iPhone lying around that can’t get iOS 15 though, unfortunately no dive VR headset for you 😢. Time to upgrade!
Using Glasses?
Yup, you can use your spectacles with the JioDive too! It’s designed to be viewing safety-friendly for glass wearers.
You’ll just need to adjust the focus wheels on the lenses to match your eye power. Then happy viewing!
So that’s the low-down on device compatibility. Pretty much any relatively modern Android or iOS smartphone will let you jump into JioDive’s world of immersive entertainment!

Front Row Seats to Live Sports

JioCinema has live sports viewing where you can soak in all the action like you’re right there on the field with your favorite players Electrifying stuff!
And it’s not just cricket – Jio will likely roll out immersive watching for other popular sports like football, tennis, basketball, and kabaddi over time. I can’t wait!
Movies, TV Shows, and YouTube
Tired after a long day at work? Lean back and relax on a virtual couch while watching movies on a HUGE 100-inch screen in fully immersive mode!
JioTV XR lets you watch stuff from live TV channels and premium watching platforms. It’ll be just like having a personal home theater. Minus the expensive popcorn!
Or get your mind blown by specially shot 360° YouTube videos. Go on stage with musicians during concerts, join extreme adventure sports as a participant, or be surrounded by gorgeous natural scenery. The options for unique filming angles are endless.
More Immersive App Experiences
The JioImmerse app that comes bundled with the headset provides access to even more exhilarating 360° content across entertainment, gaming, learning, and lifestyle categories.
I’d probably first explore some games and go on virtual rollercoaster rides until I feel queasy 😂. But more serious applications for education, simulation training, tourism, and healthcare look quite promising too!
And** JioSphere XR** lets you browse in privacy by projecting desktop screens all around you. Surfing shady sites surrounded by floor-to-ceiling browsers in VR does sound fun!
With ever-expanding libraries of immersive content, there will be no limit to the worlds you can explore with the JioDive VR headset. This gadget could fill those mundane moments of life with tiny slices of wonder!

Slot In Your Phone
Lift the front flap of the JioDive and you’ll see the phone holder slot. Place your phone in here with the screen facing the lenses.
Adjust the side grips to securely fit your phone size. There’s ample padding so no need to worry about scratches.
Then take both ends of the head straps and place them over your head, positioning the lenses right in front of your eyes.
Adjust For Comfortable Viewing
JioDive makes sure light from the external environment is blocked for complete immersion.
Use the top center wheel on the headset to adjust lens focus and match it to your eyesight. Look through the lenses and fine-tune the clarity.
Next, adjust the velcro straps above and on the sides so the facial pad fits snugly against your eyes. The soft padding prevents any irritation.
