Google Pixel and Pixel XL VR accessories

Sometimes there are some extra accessories that will perfectly with a new device, and since the Pixel and Pixel XL weren’t the only new items introduced by Google, here are some other options to get the whole ensemble.

Daydream View

The Pixel and Pixel XL are the first Daydream-ready smarthphones to be released and along with it, there is a new Virtual Reality headset that was introduced. The Daydream View is only $79 and offers a much more immersive VR experience than the old Google Cardboard. Plus, it includes a new touchpad remote which allows you to control various aspects of what you are viewing without worrying about fumbling with the headset itself.

Chromecast

Streaming content directly from your smartphone and onto your TV is something that has really picked up steam over the last few years. With Google offering “Cast” support across all Android devices, there’s no better way to do it, and with the new Chromecast Ultra, things get even better. The ability to stream 4K Ultra HD content is amazing and you can set your Chromecast up to showcase your favorite photos as a “screen saver” for your TV. However, if $69 is too much for your taste, Google is still offering the regular Chromecast for just $35 and if you just want some better audio controls instead of using Bluetooth, the Chromecast Audio is available for $35.

Google Home

Google is planning for Home to be the new “thing”, as it looks to overtake Amazon’s Echo lineup of devices. Google Home hopes to be the best option for keeping your home “connected” and being as useful as possible with the help of Google Assistant. What better time to outfit your home to be smart than to get the Google Home along with your Google Pixel? The Home is priced at just $129, which is $50 cheaper than the Amazon Echo and includes the best assistant on the market.
