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

Price is too close to that of Gear VR, which is far more powerful, Not a lot of games available at launch, Does not come with protective cover for lenses, Wirelessness means limited VR time
The Google Daydream View headset and controller are two parts of a future I'm glad to be a part of. With it, I'm able to see new environments and play games that defy traditional notions of what computers are able to be for their users. I'm also able to g...
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. Hardware There are so many mobile VR headsets out there now that...
Design, quality, Comfort and adjustments, Very affordable, Remote is great
Still too heavy, Adjustment not quick enough, Pixel XL runs super hot
I can see affordable VR having a great place in our houses. Still, it's not a social experiment and will need to be added to our human interactions consideration, like don't check your phone at every notification when you're around others. But the experie...
Daydream VR is one of the easiest and most affordable tools to get into VR today provided you have a smartphone that can support it. While it may not offer the detail and graphics horsepower of more expensive VR platforms, it does a lot to democratize the...

Lightweight and comfortable design, wide field of view, effective wireless controller
Review: Google Daydream View
The Google Daydream View is a comfortable and effective VR system for a compatible phone, and is probably about as good as the technology gets at this point. Just make sure that the Daydream app is compatible with your phone, although you can still use th...
With the Cardboard, Google took a knowingly anti-tech approach to VR, and this attitude continues with a headset that feels more like an item of clothing than a holster for expensive hardware. It works. The Daydream View makes pivoting into virtual realit...

Abstract: It isn't the games that really wow me when I slip on the Daydream View VR headset. It isn't the worlds that the Google Maps app allow me to visit. It isn't even the immediate sensation of wonder that VR still instills me. It's how comfortable the headset...
Abstract: So here's the thing, when Google announced the Daydream View VR headset at the same event as the Google Pixel, I was more than just a bit “meh” about the whole thing – I didn't even try it out at the launch.Oh how wrong I was. Yep, I said it – I was wron...
