The Nexus 6P is the first certified for daydream. Hooray!
Ahh here's to hoping they release some standalone Daydream VR headsets.*sad trombone*
From the official developer page:
Caution: The 6P's thermal performance is not representative of the consumer Daydream-ready devices that will be launching later this year. In particular, expect the 6P to thermally throttle CPU and GPU performance after a short period of use, depending on workload.
