zingers are there for between $30-$35. i just picked up 3 for $97. so, more than you want to spend, but will end up paying for themselves rather quickly.

If I was you I'd pay $25 for a phone, get that expensive laptop and a Windows Mixed Reality headset for about $300. That's assuming all you want to use the phone for is calling, surfing the Web, watching videos, listening to music and running a few small apps.

I paid $20 for my ZTE Zinger and it does all that. Sometimes I use it instead of my Note 5 or S6. I only spent hundreds of dollars on those two phones just to experience VR in a Gear VR. That's a waste of money if all I want is a way to experience VR.

An expensive laptop should run a new Windows Mixed Reality headset and give you a much better VR experience than a Gear VR. You can preorder a headset now and they should ship August 1st. Review the hardware requirements to ensure that the laptop you get meets those requirements -- which are low.

You said "phone" and that's what the $20 Zinger is. If you want to run a lot of apps and store a lot of data, the Zinger's not for you. However, if you store data in the cloud, you don't need much space on your phone. And you can also find a lot of Web apps that don't require you to install anything on the phone. The keyboard may be small, but Google Voice Dictation (via the Gboard app), makes it easy to work without having to type.

I love my Galaxy phones because they do have some apps I use sometimes. But my main goals are to

  1. experiencing VR
  2. having an Android phone. The ZTE is surprisingly adequate and does a lot of what the Galaxy phones do at an absurdly low price. See the Amazon reviews from people who bout the Zinger.

    Here's a new one for $25

    Get the Zinger and you can use your savings to get a great laptop that can run better VR on a $299 Windows Mixed Reality headset that has positional tracking.
