Google details Daydream VR hardware requirements
 

Google's Daydream View virtual reality goggles are now available at Google's store. That's well and good for owners of Google's new Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones, but how about devices from other manufacturers? The latest compatibility document for Android specifies what a phone needs in order to be compatible with Google's latest foray into VR.


Starting with the display, Daydream-compatible phones need a screen with a diagonal larger than 4.7" but smaller than 6". That screen needs to update at 60Hz. In addition to having response time under 3 ms, the display also needs a low-persistence-mode in which pixels emit light for less than 5 ms. Google says that 1080p screens are okay, but recommends that manufacturers use 1440p resolutions or higher.
