The DESTEK V4 Daydream View turns Daydream-compatible phones into fully immersive virtual reality machines, with a headset, controller, and suite of apps for amazing VR experiences at an affordable price.
The Daydream VR platform was developed by Google and is native to Android devices. Daydream-compatible phones devote more processing power to VR experiences, to reduce latency and prevent nausea. Powered by Google, there is a wide range of exceptional Daydream VR apps and games. However, not every Android phone is Daydream compatible, and you will need a Daydream phone in order to experience everything that the DESTEK V4 VR headset has to offer.
The DESTEK V4 Daydream View is a great option for people who want to experience and experiment with VR for the first time, at any age. With the DESTEK V4 headset and controller, and the high-quality Daydream apps, there is a wide range of games, entertainment, and VR activities available to make the most of the headset.
Other headsets have more advanced interactivity and are better for gaming, but are also more expensive, and many of them are more difficult to set up and use. The DESTEK V4 Daydream View is a simple, affordable way to access a wide range of VR experiences, and great for newcomers to VR technologies.
The DESTEK V4 Daydream View comes with a Daydream VR controller. It also comes with a user manual, cleaning cloth, extra EVA pads, and a portable storage bag.
The DESTEK V4 Daydream View has a lot of solid features for a VR headset in this price range.
The big 103 degree field of view turns into a 114 degrees of visual field with binocular vision, so you get true edge-to-edge immersion in the VR world.
The HD lenses are made of PMMA acrylic for durability, with an anti-reflective and anti-blue light coating that reduces eye strain. The lenses have an anti-distortion surface to provide HD images with no distortion. The lenses can also be adjusted independently so that they can provide clear vision even for people who normally wear glasses.
The DESTEK headset has adjustable straps and soft leather face padding for comfort. The T-shape design has upward 9 degrees of adjustment, which allows you to relieve weight and pressure on your face. The phone cradle can be adjusted to 3 different positions for your phone. The headset has more space for your nose, for improved comfort.
The Daydream controller has a built-in gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer for a wide range of interactions in virtual reality. It has a touch button that doubles as a trigger for VR games that use a trigger, and the touch button also re-centers your view and cursor.
There are over 200 free and paid Daydream apps in the Play Store, including entertainment, games, news, sports, and licensed content from NBA, NFL, Skybox, BBC, The Guardian, AMC, Netflix, HBO, LEGO, Wall Street Journal, YouTube, CNN, and more.

In order to use the DESTEK V4 Daydream View, you will need:
While Google’s Daydream is a fantastic platform, the fact that it isn’t available on most manufacturer’s phones remains a problem. If you have a non-compatible Android phone, or an iPhone, but still want an entry-level VR headset, consider the Canbor VR headset.
The Canbor VR headset also has PMMA lenses with anti-glare and anti-blue light filters. It has a comfortable, breathable design, made of foam leather to decrease pressure on the face and head. It is compatible with a wide range of phone operating systems, including iPhones, and fits phones as large as 4.0 x 6.3 inches. It also comes with a VR controller, so you can enjoy VR games with your headset. It has a super wide field of view, at 120 degrees, for immersive visual experiences.
While the Canbor has a great price, and solid basic functionality, the wide range of phones, operating systems, and apps does mean that you are likely to have inconsistent VR experiences. The controller won’t work very well with many iOS VR apps, and it may be a challenge to find apps that work smoothly with your phone, the headset, and the controller all at once.
The DESTEK V4 Daydream View is a solid entry-level VR headset, and a great choice for Daydream-compatible phones. We love that it comes with an intuitive controller, which enables a wide range of interactive VR experiences, unlike headsets that offer immersive viewing only. Daydream is a promising platform, with highly rated entertainment and gaming options that offer hours of VR entertainment, and more content being added all the time.
The DESTEK V4 Daydream View isn’t the most advanced VR headset, but it’s a great place to start, learn, and explore these technologies without investing in a lot of complicated technology and equipment, and the Play Store has a great range of compatible VR content to help make the most of it.
