The Oculus Go and Google Daydream View are two virtual reality headsets that have become popular for immersive entertainment experiences. Both headsets offer an array of features and specifications, so I will compare the two to help you determine which one is best suited for your needs.

The Oculus Go has a field of view of 101°, slightly wider than the 90° offered by the Daydream View. This gives users a more expansive and realistic experience while using the headset. The resolution offered by both headsets is 2560 × 1440 px, so there’s no difference here in terms of clarity. However, the Oculus Go requires a more powerful processor to operate at its full potential; Intel Core i3-6100 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200, FX4350 or greater is recommended for optimal performance. In comparison, the Google Daydream View does not require such powerful hardware since it operates on Android mobile devices.

The operating system also differs between these two devices; the Oculus Go runs on an Android OS while the Daydream View operates on Android as well as iOS mobile devices when paired with compatible handsets. The Oculus Go offers room scale and 360 tracking capabilities but only supports 72 Hz refresh rate whereas Daydream View supports 60 Hz refresh rate but provides fewer room scale options due to its reliance on smartphones for operation.

For me personally, I prefer using the Oculus Go over the Google Daydream View because it offers wider field of view (FOV) and higher refresh rate with better tracking features despite requiring more powerful hardware than its rival device. That said, if you don’t want to invest too much into hardware requirements then I suggest going with the Google Daydream View which still provides great VR experiences albeit with less FOV and lower refresh rates compared to its counterpart from another manufacturer.
