Google Daydream View (2017)

 

Google Daydream View 2 (2017) review: Price, release date and compatible phones for Google second edition virtual reality headset

Comfortable and compact ; Google's wealth of content ; Works with more phones now

Slightly fuzzy picture ; Pricier than before ; Not much of a jump forward

A comfortable, easy-to-use headset – but not a huge leap forward.

Google Daydream View Review: In Depth

 

Google Daydream View Review: A significant improvement on Google cardboard, does the Daydream View have the potential to change the face of mobile VR?

Attractive design ; Affordable ; Comfortable ; Motion controls on mobile ; Low power consumption ; Easy setup

Prone to gapping and light leak ; Requires frequent recalibration/orientation ; Only works with Pixel and Pixel XL at launch ; FOV could be wider

Google’s Daydream View is an imperfect, but excellent second-generation mobile VR offering. The company has been able to leverage a sizeable pre-existing body of content as well as attract a vibrant and fast-growing developer community who are proving...

Google Daydream View review

 

For use with its new Pixel phones (and more soon), we tried out Google's first Daydream VR headset. Here's our Google Daydream View review.

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....

Google Daydream View review

 

A sexier, streamlined alternative to Cardboard with plenty of potential

Clever controller opens up more VR possibilities ; Should eventually support loads of phones ; The price is right

Limited app and phone support at launch ; Headset lets in quite a bit of light

Even with limited app and phone support at launch, Google’s second stab at VR has serious potential

Google Daydream View review

 

Cardboard is cheap. Gear VR only works with Samsung phones. The pricy Oculus Rift ( £400.00 at Amazon.co.uk ) and HTC Vive ( £649.99 at Amazon.co.uk ) require an expensive gaming PC and loads of setup, and the PlayStation VR ( £259.00 at Amazon.co.uk )...

Affordable, portable and easy to set up. The bundled motion controller is convenient and easy to use. Exclusive YouTube, Google Street View and Google Photos feel like potential killer 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.

The Daydream View is the simplest, most affordable way to turn a phone into an immersive VR headset.

Google Daydream View review: Google’s Pixel-perfect Gear VR rival

 

Google's Daydream View is the perfect accessory for your new Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL, and it's seen a 2017 update

Soft, comfy design

Not particularly secure on your face ; Right now there's a severe lack of 'must-have' apps

Google Daydream View (2016) review

  (Rating Hidden)

The first iteration of Google's VR headset signalled it's involved in the world of virtual reality, and although it's been superseded, the original is still available with decent discounts on offer. Is it still worth buying, and how does it compare...

Daydream View review: Google's 2017 version is a modest improvement

 

Google Daydream View is more than a mere accessory, and now it's getting a facelift for 2017

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...

Google Daydream View review: Is this VR headset the answer to accessible virtual reality?

 

The Samsung Gear VR has been the driving force for portable, accessible VR in recent years. Not anymore. The Google Daydream View has it beat on all fronts, apart from the one that really matters: content. Having ditched the plastic for softer, more...

Google Daydream View review: mobile VR done mostly right

 

Nearly a year ago, I wrote about a then-new product called the Samsung Gear VR — a mobile phone-powered headset that promised cheap, mainstream virtual reality, but it delivered something I wasn't...

Clever, ergonomic hardware design ; Versatile, convenient controller ; Lots of potential for Android integration

Only compatible with Google Pixel at launch ; Finding the best fit takes time ; Still waiting for killer apps
