When Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S8 and S8+ last year, it wasn't exactly groundbreaking news since these devices initially lacked support for Google’s Daydream VR platform. However, at Google's I/O 2017 conference this past summer, there was some exciting news for fans of Samsung's flagships: both the Galaxy S8 and S8+ would receive an update to enable compatibility with the Daydream platform. Mobile carrier T-Mobile’s recent update logs hinted that this long-awaited upgrade was just around the corner.
A few days ago, the Galaxy S8 and S8+ received another update, this time focusing on changes to the Bixby function key mapping. Interestingly, T-Mobile has now announced yet another update, which includes various improvements such as DIGITS updates, fixes for Qualcomm software microphones, further refinements to the Bixby function key, and—most intriguingly—multisystem improvements. Among these updates, “multisystem improvements†seem particularly noteworthy, as they reportedly include support for the Google Daydream VR platform.
Curious to see if the Galaxy S8 truly supports Daydream VR, 913VR decided to run some tests. To our disappointment, we couldn’t find any relevant apps tied to Google Daydream on the Google Play Store. Even when we attempted to access the loading page, which displayed the message “Daydream and Samsung collaboration,†we were met with an error stating that our device was incompatible.
At this point, it seems clear that while Google’s Daydream VR platform is technically ready for Samsung’s flagship models, the Galaxy S8 and S8+ still aren’t fully compatible with the platform. For users who are eager to try out Daydream VR, it’s best to keep an eye on Samsung’s official announcements for any further updates.
As of now, the Galaxy S8 and S8+ remain without full Daydream VR support. While the potential is there, Samsung’s updates seem to be taking longer than expected. Stay tuned to official channels for more information on when this feature might finally roll out. Until then, users will have to rely on other VR solutions or wait patiently for Samsung to finalize the necessary software tweaks.

In conclusion, while the Galaxy S8 and S8+ represent some of Samsung’s best offerings, their compatibility with Google’s Daydream VR remains uncertain for now. Fans of VR should stay updated on Samsung’s progress, as this could change soon.
