The editors didn't like

Not much to experience in Daydream (yet)

Controller constantly needs recalibrating
Semi-limited range of movement
Only 2 phones supported as of launch
Small library of content at launch
Final Thoughts
Folks that already own a Nexus 6p or are already planning on purchasing a Pixel or Pixel XL need look no further for the VR experienc
Only a handful of apps
Google cardboard apps wont work (Might be fixed later)
Headset can get warm and uncomfortable after about 10 minutes of use
360 video content ranges in video quality
Light leak a MAJOR problem
Limited field of view
Headset slips too easily when worn
Very little hardware and software support so far
Prone to gapping and light leak
Requires frequent recalibration/orientation
Only works with Pixel and Pixel XL at launch
FOV could be wider
Only works with Pixel phones at launch
Tiny initial software library
Only compatible with the Google Pixel (for now)
Pentile display makes reading text extremely difficult
Major performance issues with extended use (overheating)
Not compatible with Google Cardboard apps
Could be a bit more formfitting
It only works with Google Pixel and Moto Z for now (more on the way). The headset is front-heavy and frequently needs adjusting. There's limited app selection at launch and you can't walk around or grab things in VR

Inexpensive, Comfortable, Motion controller makes VR immersive, High-quality VR experiences
Not many apps yet, More Daydream phones are coming, but aren't here yet
The Daydream View is a solid first attempt at a mobile VR headset. It's comfortable and VR experiences look great. The only problem is there aren't many apps available for it yet. In this article: av, daydream, daydreamview, gaming, gear, google, g...
Abstract: This is the Daydream View Virtual Reality headset from Google. It's a $79 accessory that requires a Daydream ready smartphone to use. Right now, that list is pretty small but it is growing quickly as Android 7.0 Nougat rolls out to more devices. The Moto...
Abstract: Google's Daydream is what I would call the most travel-friendly VR solution yet. Its simple but elegant pointer-style Bluetooth controller means you aren't reaching all over the place to work the VR interface, its comfortable fabric design is tolerable fo...

Glasses Daydream View has not yet appeared in Russia, but in Germany the Deutsche Telekom sells for quite a fair price of 69 euros. Compared with the first cardboard model glasses are much more expensive, but do not forget about competitors. The same Sams...

Google's Daydream View is an imperfect, but excellent second-generation mobile VR offering. The company has been able to leverage a sizeable pre-existing body of content as well as attract a vibrant and fast-growing developer community who are proving tha...
Cardboard is so beloved not only because it exposed a vast majority of smartphone owners to virtual reality, for the very first time even, but also because of the minimum investment cost coming from users. With the Daydream View, of course, its new motion...
