However, it has now been confirmed that this will be a smartphone that is also compatible with Google’s VR platform, Daydream. It is also the first mobile device in the world which is Tango-enable and Google’s VR platform, Daydream. “With Zenfone AR and the Daydream View headset and controller, you’ll be able to explore new worlds with apps like Google Street View and Fantastic Beasts, dive into your personal VR cinema with YouTube, Netflix, Hulu and HBO, and get your game on with Gunjack 2, LEGO BrickHeadz, Need for Speed and dozens other titles,” the blog post says.
The famous leaker Evan Blass @evleak has just posted on his Twitter about the render for the upcoming Zenfone AR. It provides a clear look at both the front and the back of the device.
