Both phones are said to sport the perfect virtual reality experience given the great display of its screen's vibrancy and pixel density.

Installing Google Daydream application from Play Store will give you an error saying that the app is not compatible with the latest Samsung flagship devices.

Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus may have met all the requirements to fully support the Google Daydream VR. As such, an app compatible with it has not been released yet in the Play Store. Although this may be a disappointment for some users who want to take advantage or access Google's offerings, this will not entirely hamper Samsung's newest devices for a virtual reality experience. Apparently, Samsung assures a smooth VR experience as they have their own proprietary VR headset powered by Oculus.
