The editors didn't like
Basically no apps at launch
Light bleed affects immersion
Smaller field of view than Gear VR
Not much to experience in Daydream (yet)
Pixel XL sticks out of the headset
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

Basically no apps at launch, Light bleed affects immersion
If you're a Pixel XL owner and want something new, there's a lot to like in this headset. If you recently ditched a Note 7 for the Pixel and are hoping this experience rivals your Gear VR, Daydream View isn't going to fully measure up.See at the Google St...

In 2016, VR has definitely made some strides. Google just proved that they did as well. While the quality won't compare to the more expensive Oculus or Vive, it's not supposed to. So what's not to like about the Daydream View? Really nothing. It pret...
