Xiaomi VR unpacking

The product's packaging box is a black cuboid thin cardboard box. Its paper is good, its workmanship is very exquisite, and its smooth and bright surface is attractive. However, the box appears a little deformation during the transportation process, which makes me feel sorry. The design of the surface content of the box is very simple. There are three striking red words printed on the front of the box - "Go to explore," "Go to explore the logo of" mi "engraved with 3D stereoscopic feeling. The back of the box is printed with the product name, model, equipment requirements and other information, so that consumers can have a general understanding of the product before opening the box.

The box is opened by lifting the lid. As long as the side lock button of the box is unfastened, the lid can be easily opened. After the lid is opened, Xiaomi VR walks out of the box with a letter sent by Xiaomi Exploration Laboratory to the internal tester, and stands in line to accept everyone's review.
