it continues to suffer from the same issues as other mobile headsets
There s still no support for iOS devices
how often phones would get super-hot when inside
lack of compatible phones
No Limits VR is kind of ugly
Complicated
not Cardboard
can't physically move through a virtual space
the View is almost entirely featureless
clumsy setup
no email service can overcome a bad domain name
Its plastic also feels a little cheap
mobile VR could feel like a real operating system
there are no flashy new features on Daydream
a small tint of light seeping in from the sides
There are no individual adjustments for each eye
it isn t locked into that phone alone
misalignment between the three colours
Sony Xperia XZ Premium
ludicrously higher resolution displays
their unimpressive graphics and slow
repetitive gameplay bored

virtual teleportation
not the Mate 9) will also support Daydream
only the Google Pixel smartphone is Daydream-ready

too will the picture quality of the videos

The videos are not as crisp as they would be on a computer or TV
video is not very high
it sits heavy on the front
Not all Google Daydream hardware will support two controllers
now stored in the back portion of the headset and not behind the front flap
headset unable to measure spatial movement
means Google is likely going to keep to a one-year release cycle

Google is playing a long
lack of focus adjustment
Wallet Pty Ltd is not a bank and does not offer banking services
your phone heating and eat to much battery
HTC Vive Pro
Oculus Gear VR
immersion effect is not as deep as on the same Gear VR
virtual reality is taxing on a full-blown PC
not as padded and soft as the new one
smartphone's battery life dropped from 100 percent to 71 percent
only tracks wherever you look
No cherry-picked units sent by manufacturers
the software is not designed to work with any other phone outside of the Pixel or Pixel XL phones
