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
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...
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
Google's first foray into the VR space is decent, a mixed bag, sure, but a very solid effort that shows huge potential for growth and innovation in the future. As it stands, the content and quality of imagery just isn't there at present but the arrival of...

The Daydream View is the simplest, most affordable way to turn a phone into an immersive VR headset...
You'll need a Daydream VR compatible phone but the Daydream View VR headset is certainly an accomplished device. Its attractive style is complimented by a comfortable fit, although an over the top strap might be an oversight for more energetic tasks. The...

Comfortable, Intuitive, Good 'experiences'
Dust on lens, Not as capable as 'proper' VR, Questions about durability
So what did we make of Daydream View? Well, it's certainly a very comfortable experience and it worked fine with our glasses and we can see it definitely appeal. It has it's flaws, the biggest being the amount of dust that can settle on the lens, a...
Strap loosens too much, Not iOS compatible, Controller needs constant centring
Google Daydream View is a dream come true for mobile VR. It's comfortable, lightweight and attractively designed which is half the battle won in the world of virtual reality. The other half is price which Daydream View also succeeds at by keeping costs re...
