Right now there's a severe lack of 'must-have' apps
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
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...

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...
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...
