Google's own Daydream View headset isn't the only option, and certainly isn't the cheapest. We get hands-on with the Google Daydream-ready BOBOVR Z5 VR Headset + Daydream Controller
If you're looking for a daydream compatible headset, then you'll first want to make sure you've got a daydream compatible smartphone. Currently, there's only around 15 with most being expensive flagship devices and almost all having a quad-HD display or higher.
And there's a good reason for this as using a smartphone VR headset halves the number of pixels you have to play with.
While a typical 1080P smartphone display looks crisp and clear, when you half the resolution and it's an inch in front of your eyes... everything starts to look a little blurry.
Currently have a 720P smartphone? Then VR might not be for you. 1080P is still fun though and Quad-HD+ is where it's at!
In this review, I'll be looking at the BOBOVR Z5 Daydream-ready headset that's bundled with Google Daydream 3rd party controller.
Don't worry if you don't have a Daydream-ready smartphone. The BOBOVR Z5 is available without the daydream controller so you can use it like a regular old VR headset.
Fancy yourself one of the best looking VR Headsets available?
The BOBOVR Z5 without remote starts at... UK : £25 | EU : €37 | US : $38

Hey,
Your Note 4 won't support the Google Daydream features so that leaves you with the Z4 or Z5 without controller. You'll still need some sort of Bluetooth controller to use most VR apps so I'd go for the best value bundle (headset + controller) you can find : )
In terms of lens quality, I don't think there's much difference between the two. Although the reviews were quite far apart. : )
I find it's more the phone quality than the actual lens.
I want straight answer .... Z4 or Z5 which is best???
Z4 Wins! :D
