A few months ago Google introduced a new virtual reality platform called Daydream. The platform has been designed for next-generation Android smartphones that are capable of running Android N. Samsung was confirmed as one of the companies that will be making Daydream-compatible handsets. The company isn't confirming yet if its latest flagship – the Galaxy Note 7 – is compatible with Daydream.
Galaxy Note 7 comes with Android Marshmallow out of the box but it's certainly going to be one of the first handsets that Samsung updates to Nougat when the latest iteration of Android is released to the public. Samsung isn't confirming or denying if the Galaxy Note 7 is compatible with Daydream. When asked about the matter by UploadVR, the company provided the following vague statement: “We have a great, long standing partnership with Google and will continue to work with them on many fronts. We will stay tuned as Google provides more information on Daydream this fall.” We might get a proper answer from Samsung once Google provides more information about Daydream later this year. Rumors have also suggested that the Galaxy S8 is going to be Daydream-compatible.
