Found the video sourceSome people are saying that the dog might not have made it because it jumped into the water at the end of this gif , but I think it got away after watching the video . <| sep |> I mean that some people have had success launching certain Daydream apps directly , thereby bypassing the Daydream Home launcher which apparently wont run on unsupported phones . But let me put it this way even if you could get Daydream running completely which you probably can ' t , you ' re still going to have a sub par experience with the HTC 10 because LCD motion blur , and motion blur inhibits immersion and presence . So if a good VR experience is important to you , I would remove the HTC 10 from your short list . Aside from the current Daydreamready phones the Pixel , the Pixel XL and the Moto Z series phones the ZTE Axon 7 seems to be on track for certification . And pretty much any phone with a Snapdragon 820 or 821 and at least a 1080 p AMOLED display is in with a decent chance , assuming it ' s going to get Nougat . But there are no guarantees . Also , you might want to consider a 5 . 5 phone in order to maximize the FOV potential when using Google ' s Daydream View headset see discussion .
