Onstage at Google I\/O, VR Head Clay Bavor announced that Daydream support for the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will be coming this summer.<\/p>\n

Well, Samsung finally appears to have gotten on board, perhaps only to give its Gear VR platform a period of exclusivity. Today, the company announced that Daydream support will be coming to the Galaxy S8 and S8+ this summer.<\/p>\n

Google also announced that LG\u2019s latest flagship device will also be adding Daydream support.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a year since Google announced its low-latency, optimized mobile VR platform, and it\u2019s definitely been a slow start. The reference design headset it showed off last year, has only seemed to yield its own Daydream View headset and the number of Daydream-compatible phones launching in the market has been a slow trickle as phone makers move more slowly in adopting OLED low-persistence displays.<\/p>\n

Huawei\u2019s Mate 9 Pro, Asus\u2019 yet-to-be-released Zenfone AR, Motorola\u2019s Moto Z, ZTE\u2019s Axon 7 and Google\u2019s Pixel are the only devices that previously\u00a0had announced their support of the Daydream mobile VR platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
