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
Almost no light leak, wider field of view, Comfortable design, snug fit, Simple software and set up, Improved Daydream catalog
No iOS support, Still needs more fun content
Yes, if you're interested in VR, the Daydream View (2017) is currently the best mobile VR headset to buy. The landscape could change soon, though, as standalone headsets make their way into the market.Editors' RecommendationsHow does the original Google D...
Abstract: "I could wear this for hours."It's not the first thing I think after strapping myself to a VR headset. I've tried dozens and generally my thoughts range from "Why won't it stay on my face?" to "Maybe I'll get used to this someday."Google's Daydream View...
More comfortable, Wider field of view, Less chance of overheating
No iOS support. Boo, Needs more games, Fresnel lenses worse in some games
The Google Daydream View tweaks, fixes and slightly upgrades the original headset. Separately these changes are minor, but put together they make for an overall more comfortable, immersive experience. This is mobile VR done right, and with greater compati...
Affordable and easy-to-use access point into VR (if you have the right phone), comfortable fit beyond any competitor, decent array of titles (affordable if not free), noticeable upgrades over original (top strap, fresnel lenses, and larger field of view)
Only 12 Android phones compatible for time being, lack of iOS support, needs more experiences to truly thrive, will soon compete with wireless, fully tracked headsets
So, should you buy it?This year's Daydream View is a definite upgrade over last years, and the $20 price increase is still relatively affordable. If you already own a compatible phone, it's the best mobile VR headset to try. Because, honestly, that price...

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...
Tons of Potential, Lightweight Design, Comfortable, Cost Effective, Remote is Great
No Sense of Depth, Lack of Engaging Content, Needs HD Visuals To Be Truly Engaging, Limited Handset Support
Everything feels very “beta” at the moment, which is to be expected – VR is very much in its infancy. Starting is always the hardest part, though, and I am confident Google, along with its legions of developers, will innovate and create something special...
We like the new Daydream View VR headset, but while it's nice to see Google making improvements on the original we're not convinced that the £30 price bump is warranted for slightly better lenses and an additional strap.Tags:Gadgets, Android, Wearable Tec...
The new Daydream View is, well, fine. It improves in some key areas - namely fit - but it still needs far more phone support to be a real must-have device...
Google Daydream could be the next big hit in the virtual reality simply because it's accessible. That's its big advantage over its main competition.Right away, you'll love its price. It's $79 (£69). That may be the new magical price to get more people to...
