> Go also has a Snapdragon 821 for ONLY VR

Sadly the Snapdragon is woefully underspecced in it's video decode capability - tops out at 4K which is less than ideal - 5K HEVC are already popular and a noticeable improvement for VR video.

I don't think it's all that popular yet, most 360 content I see is 4K and anything better than that is fairly rare. I do agree it's needed but especially for mobile VR storage requirements are also an issue that keeps people from releasing at better quality.
