Light peeks in
Revealing screen dust
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
Motion controller works great, Lightweight, Mostly comfortable, Washable face cushion, Interesting choice of build materials, Solid value
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
Google is hoping to hit a sweet spot with consumers by offering a VR experience that's both competent and affordable. The Daydream View is both of these things and, slight performance issues aside, anyone even thinking about investing in VR down the line...

Materials make device look and feel premium, Controller feels light but legit, controls feel natural, Works with Google's new Daydream VR software, Big name brands onboard for future software, Comfortable to wear and adjust on the fly
Price is too close to that of Gear VR, which is far more powerful, Not a lot of games available at launch, Does not come with protective cover for lenses, Wirelessness means limited VR time
The Google Daydream View headset and controller are two parts of a future I'm glad to be a part of. With it, I'm able to see new environments and play games that defy traditional notions of what computers are able to be for their users. I'm also able to g...
Inexpensive, Comfortable, Motion controller makes VR immersive, High-quality VR experiences
Not many apps yet, More Daydream phones are coming, but aren't here yet
The Daydream View is a solid first attempt at a mobile VR headset. It's comfortable and VR experiences look great. The only problem is there aren't many apps available for it yet. Hardware There are so many mobile VR headsets out there now that...
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...
