> Soldering SMD components sounds daunting,
It really isn't, watching some videos learning some techniques. Practice. The same statement could be made about most things that people aren't familiar with or haven't spent any time working to learn.

There are so many things in life that I think are nonsensically complicated and I have a hard time grasping why anyone would ever want to waste time on them, while I know how to do a lot of things that "normal people" consider outlandish - just because I spent tons of time researching and learning about a topic because I was interested in it.
So yeah, if you're meh about VR headsets and "it would be kind of cool to have", just buy a Daydream - don't try to learn how to solder SMD's. :)
If you want it enough you'll figure it out.
I am still surprised that this is not more common. Even a biology-grade binocular microscope for 100$-ish makes a huge difference.
