  • 2 Steps To Enable Daydream VR On Android Nougat Smartphone | Android 7.0+

Those of you who do not know, Daydream is the virtual reality platform developed by Google and only a few premium handsets support it. It is one of the coolest things Google ever designed and the hype around it is bubbling to its peak. It is a fact that not everyone has the money to buy a premium smartphone to experience Daydream VR and even those who can, they will not invest so much money for Daydream only. For all those users who have good enough smartphone and Android Nougat installed, there is a way to experience Daydream VR.

If you are wondering why Google does not all latest smartphones to play Daydream and experience virtual reality, it is because it has certain hardware requirements that most of the latest smartphones do not fulfil. One of such requirements is that the device must be able to play 1080p videos smoothly at 60 fps rendering. Another condition is that there has to be a temperature sensor on the phone’s surface because incompatible devices get heated up while using Daydream VR.
