Ever since VR headsets started making their way into the mainstream, the question has always been: when will they become a truly consumer-friendly product? Well, the time is now, and Meta Quest 2 is the product. The latest version of this standalone VR headset refines or expands the things we loved about the original. The lighter design is paired with a higher resolution display; a more powerful processor; more ergonomic controls; and expanded social and sharing features, just to name a few. The Meta Quest 2 goggles come in two storage sizes: 64GB and 256GB. Both models are equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 SoC, 6GB of RAM and a 3664 x 1920-pixel fast-switch LCD display (1832 x 1920 per eye). Compared to the original Quest, everything has undergone some measure of refinement. For example, the indentations surrounding the quad of sensors on the Quest 2 are smaller and rounded compared to the elongated ovals found on the original. Another major change the Quest 2 introduces is how Meta handles IPD (interpupillary distance). Instead of a clunky slider along the undercarriage of the headset, you simply shift the lenses left or right to get your ideal setting. The Quest 2 is a standalone headset with a powerful processor, generous RAM and a high-resolution display with plenty of games at your virtual fingertips. There are still some things Meta needs to work on, but for the money, the Meta Quest 2 is the ambassador VR’s been waiting for. Still on the prowl for Prime Day’s best gaming deals?
