You need a new Android phone
Unproven ecosystem
Chews through the Pixel's battery
Smartphone VR doesn't nail "presence" yet
Only works with two phones at the moment
Will only work with the Pixel - for now
Issues with ventilation - it can get hot to wear
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
