Rumor says that Android phones with below Daydream-ready specs mostly can be used to play 3D video for Google Daydream VR.
1. The Snapdragon 820 is the minimum chipset required for the CPU and GPU performance expected by Google and 4 GB of RAM looks to be the minimum memory requirement.
2. On the display front, at least a Full HD OLED display with low persistence is also necessary.
3. As Qualcomm notes in its VR Software Development Kit notes for the Snapdragon 820, VR also requires “predictive head position processing” which the Qualcomm Hexagon DSP includes.
4. All devices will need to be running Android 7.0 Nougat to take advantage of its Sustained Performance Mode for VR, too.
