their top smartphones for VR. Ultimately the Google Pixel XL will give you the best experience.
- Sony Xperia Z5 Premium - 806
- Samsung Galaxy S7 - 577 PPI
- HTC 10 - 564 PPI
- Blackberry PRIV - 540 PPI
I was doing a search in GSM Arena it got me this 31 Smartphones:
Phone Finder results - GSMArena.com
But as you said, it's only one factor, the sensors and also the response time of the screen are very important, another technologies like high brightness are not important because you have the phone in a enclosure (mostly).
Right now the best bet is the S7 with the Gear VR and the Pixel XL with the Daydream.
