Best budget phones for VR

Everyone, and I mean everyone has seen people using virtual reality (VR). But the thing about VR headsets for phones are easy to get for cheap, but most Android phones don't work for them, because the phones need a gyroscope. So I have made a list of $100-$200 phones that support VR headsets/ VR games. I'm going to start the list with the phone I use for VR headsets, the LG G3. The G3 cost around $125 (refurbished) $200 new. I was able to get a broken G3 for $30 and fixed the screen for $45, so $75 all together. The G3 has a massive, high resolution screen that is perfect for VR very great specs too read spec list HERE

Another great decent priced phone for VR is the Moto G 4th gen. You can pick up the Moto g at best buy for $200 it has 2GB of RAM and a 1080 x 1920 display, the LG G3 still has a better screen, but the Moto G has a very powerful processor.

Another option, it's very old but still works is the galaxy s3, yea lol. It goes for around $75- $150 and it has the minimum requirements for VR the biggest thing it lacks for VR is the display it is HORRIBLE. But still works, kinda there is an issue with magnet use in Google cardboard but there is a fix for that.
