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
Comfortable and well designed, Responsive controller, Great price point, Huge amount of content
Will only work with the Pixel - for now, Issues with ventilation - it can get hot to wear
I'm genuinely excited for what the future holds with this headset. It's comparatively a joy to wear — heat aside — and the sheer amount of content Google have access to make this for me the most significant step towards VR becoming "mainstream" since the...
One of the comfiest mobile VR headsets around, Easy to setup, thanks to magnets in the headset positioning the screen for you, The remote provides a level of interaction missed in mobile VR, Some of the apps that are Google specific make this a treat, inc
Currently requires a Pixel or Pixel XL phone, Fit isn't always great, and this can bring glare to your eyepieces, Not a huge amount of apps or content, Gets your phone very, very hot, Can be buggy
No stranger to virtual reality, Google's second attempt is a proper fully fledged concept that feels much better than the $5 Cardboard idea that really set mobile VR into motion.More than just a 360 degree viewer, the introduction of the remote gives view...
So Daydream View is here, Daydream VR is here and we've got to spend a couple of days with it. Overall I found that Daydream is the best Mobile VR experience I have had. The Hardware is great (despite my earlier quibbles), the UI model works well and the...
Polished VR experience, Nifty controller, Light and comfortable fit, Affordable
Unproven ecosystem, Chews through the Pixel's battery, Smartphone VR doesn't nail "presence" yet, Only works with two phones at the moment
Daydream View is the most polished smartphone-powered virtual reality experience we've seen to date. If you own a Google Pixel and want a comparatively affordable taste of the future, pick up a Daydream View...

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
The Daydream View is the simplest, most affordable way to turn a phone into an immersive VR headset...
Daydream View isn't supposed to give PSVR, Oculus Rift or the HTC Vive a run for their money.It's an inexpensive headset that works with your phone to deliver VR experiences. Compromised ones, sure, but then it's running off something that slips in your p...
Potentially world changing, Cheap and accessible, Great content now and more coming
Headset isn't the best fitting, Only works with Google Pixel phones for now
Just a few months ago we were cooing over applications and content like this being available on an expensive, powerful, sprawling PC rig. Now here they are on a phone. For a hundred-odd bucks! Buy one for yourself right now and then buy more as Christma...

Abstract: Until I had my hands on Playstation VR I couldn't understand the need for any VR that wasn't mobile. Samsung Gear VR and Google Cardboard are both “good enough” experiences with price tags a mere fraction of those of hulking VR systems like HTC Vive and O...
Very inexpensive VR headset, Comes with a remote control, Fabric design and flashy colors
Content is just getting started, Light peeks in, revealing screen dust, You need a new Android phone
It's easy to get sucked into virtual reality with Google Daydream View. It's poised to work with more Android phones than any other VR platform, and it's very inexpensive. Of course, it needs content before it's worth purchasing...
