Owner's manual

Q: Will this work with the I phone 6 and the I phone 6 plus?

A: No.

Q: does it work with I phone 5s

A: No, it doesn't. At this time, it's only work with Google Pixel and Pixel XL.

Q: Can you add different apps or sites to this product?

A: Yes, thru the Daydream app you can choose what games or other apps you wish to download. Only a handful of apps out today but Google has promised 50+ by the end of this year checkout my YouTube review.

Q: Can it be used with an OtterBox on pixel XL?

A: I highly doubt it will fit in the holder correctly with an OtterBox case on it. They are rather bulky.

Q: Will the Daydream View headset work with an LG V10 and other marshmallow devices? What is the field of view?

A: The only phone that is Daydream ready and will work at launch is the Pixel and Pixel XL.

Q: Its running with galaxie note 4

A: No, but you didn't need to ask a question to get that answer. Right under specifications it lists compatibility being Day Dream ready devices, which as of now is limited to the Google Pixel and the Google Pixel XL.

Q: Will the Daydream View work on iPhone

A: No it won't. Only daydream certified devices are supported. As of now, only the Pixel and Moto Z are compatible I believe.

Q: It says under release date not yet determined but can I still order?

A: I had the same problem when I ordered it 3 weeks ago (12/9/2016). I placed the order before seeing that. In the confirmation email, under "GET IT BY", it had, "AWAITING RELEASE DATE". Clicking on "Order Status" in that email brought up a web page that showed an estimated delivery date (just like the order page originally showed). I did an online chat and the person said that it must just be a mistake in the system and that it would arrive on the date specified on the order page and order status page. It did arrive just fine.

Good software, not so much hardware
This is a very good vr device that is very polished on the software side -- but not so much on the hardware side. And this can become a very enjoyable headset with some customization. First of all, as many complained, overheating is an issue, I have no idea why google decided to use cloth as the back panel instead of you know, aluminum wire frame that is very good at dispensing heat. I mean I get the front where your face touches, it's very comfortable, but I don't think anyone wears the headset backwards. So to solve that, I cut two pieces from a wine cork and taped them to the back panel to create space. And as I am fortunate enough to be using a Moto Z instead of a Pixel, I removed the back panel of my phone and put it into the viewer. Now there's space between the phone and the back panel. Moto Z's heat are all concentrated on the bottom half of the phone, so I put a fan on my right side to circulate air. And now the phone can safely do its work relatively safely. Another bad design -- there's a reason why every single VR headset out there (oculus, vive) have a head strap across the top of your head. The headset is not that heavy but your phone, which you will of course put into the headset, is. So you either have to make the head strap very very tight, or experience Newton's first law of motion in quite an unpleasant way. To solve that, I took a headstrap that I didn't use in my google cardboard kit, and put it on top of the headset. Now the headset won't fall off as easily. So after doing all that, this headset is finally ready to use. As I mentioned at the start of the review, the software side is very well polished. So after you fix the hardware, it's a very fun device.

An acceptable VR experience.
The headset is comfortable. It is a bit warm. I would like it to be vented more somehow. It can fog up. You kind of need to warm it up a bit before you use it to prevent it by putting it on early or tucking it in your sweater. The way the phone sets in is kind of poorly designed. The backing flap can kind of keep some heat in the phone to make it hotter than it needs to be. Samsung VR headsets can be open in the back which lets them breathe some and allows for camera use (good way to take a hands free selfie). the clasp can cover power or volume buttons. Phones that this happens on need to disable them in daydream mode. Overall the experience is good. The controller is good. I like that you don't have to use controls on the headset itself. Allows for a sort of motion gaming experience to go along with the VR.

Nice design but it's still in beta!
The design aesthetics is great and looks wonderful but from a performance aspect it's just Google cardboard all dressed up for the prom and works no different from it's cheaper sibling. The VR looks good but you have to get it just right or things kinda have a slight blur to them but YMMV? I found the headset to be comfortable but not for extended periods of time. The biggest issue to me was the overheating of the Pixel phone when using it for more than 30 minutes or playing a graphic intensive game. Maybe if Google designed a passive cooling system in v2 this wouldn't be such an issue. Right now it's a fun toy for short periods of use and once more games and apps are able to better take advantage it might be more worthwhile. If your curious about VR and already have a Pixel then go for it but remember it's still in beta.
