They’re about 5 times cheaper than our number 2 phone and yet they can still handle all the Gear VR games and Google Cardboard games you can throw at it. Old yeah, but still incredibly powerful.

Make no mistake about it, this is the world’s most powerful smartphone and it is also one of the few phones in the world powerful enough to handle the Google Daydream software and headsets.
