No current Android flagship will have Daydream VR support

Even as we get more advanced flagship smartphones - some with crazy amount of memory, others with great camera and processing power – the new VR platform from Google may just be too much for them.

Coming straight from the horses mouth, Google themselves said that the current crop of flagship devices are not up to par with the yet to be published Daydream VR minimum requirements.

“I can tell you that there will most likely not be any ‘retroactively’ Daydream-ready phones,” Google’s VR chief Clay Bavor says. “We want to hold a very high quality bar, and for that to happen all the components need to be just right. So, to VR fans, I would say, hold off for a few months to get your next phone… and get a Daydream-ready phone.”

So we wonder what would be the minimum spec for Daydream VR – decacore processors? 8GB of RAM? 4K panels? Insanely big battery? As the specifications are not out yet, we can only speculate for now. Look forward to more coverage from TechNave soon.
