For me, significant resolution improvement is a must for an upgrade. 50% more pixels translates to about 20% in each axis - borderline for a decision. But adding the much more powerful xr2 processor clinches the deal. So upgrade it is !

[@justjohn104]

Let's give some appreciation to the horizontal position of the USB-C this go around, making it much less awkward for most 90-degree connectors (like the official Link cable). Granted, it's likely mostly for the convenience of the Elite Strap+Battery, but will be a boon for Link users, as well.

Solid review brother! Love your videos. I pre-ordered my quest 2 days ago. I'm all in.

I bought my Quest a few months before the Quest 2 was announced. I love my Quest and will keep using it until it breaks or they quit supporting it as the Quest works great for my setup and I have gotten used to the comfort issues on the original. I’m not a fan of how they removed the eye space adjuster on the quest 2 as it was a great feature for sharing and fine tuning. I’m also not a fan of the white as I can see the headset and controllers getting dirty pretty quickly.

There’s still a eye space adjuster on the Quest 2 and as for the getting dirty part, either don’t have kids and be the only one using it , nice a clean problem solved

A good piece of advice: Wait. Wait a few months, and see, what follows up with it. I own a Quest, and I also considered upgrading, but it's always best to wait it out. Maybe in a few months, I will upgrade, but right now I'm very happy with my Quest, so I won't upgrade right now, and I recommend, that you do the same. But if you just want the newest, go ahead and buy it. Do what you feel is the best :) . But please, always, ALWAYS, reconsider.

You forgot the -5 points for forced Facebook integration on the Oculus Quest 2.

I can understand your point, but oculus is owned by Facebook, and it’s obvious they want to promote their platform integration. I think we will be able to not use it.

[@chukah9484]

@@AtrusDesign It is obvious. The sad thing is the consumers were lied too by facebook since they stated the occulus headsets would never require an account. Even if no one trusts what facebook says anyway. Its more out of principle. I'll probably keep the quest 1 and end up going for a more baller higher res headset on a different platform few more years later when software dev increases for VR. I just hope that their will be more competition in the standalone VR console market against facebook even if I have to pay $1000+.

[@uncutfishing]

@@chukah9484 It could be that the Chinese will be the first in line to pick up the consumers Facebook drops with their bulldozer-like FB promotion strategy, which lets them hand these new sets out at, I don't know, half the price.. Pico already have somewhat similar headsets Pico Neo 2 and Neo 2 Eye (with eye tracking), but they are "business oriented" (read: much more expensive ;)). However, I would keep en eye on their software store on pico-interactive.com. They are currently selling some very good 3DOF games that are also available for Oculus Go like Eqqo or Deadalus, but their 6DOF lineup is weak. I suppose this is because their 6DOF headsets are very new and, ahem, "business oriented", while their 3DOF headsets have been around for a while. But how this app store develops over time will be a very good indicator of their potential in this field. Basically, if they want a piece of this, they now must talk with all those game production companies and convince them to port for them or, better yet, develop exclusives. I suppose Chinese companies would be more willing to make exclusives for them, but are there any really strong Chinese development companies able of producing a AAA VR game right now? Anyways, I am rooting for European tech companies which are also in it, but at the moment they are behind the first two, it appears. Overall, I think now the race is on for who produces a considerably smaller device first. Half a kilo box cannot put mobile VR into the mainstream, imho. I think that's why companies like Apple seem to be indifferent to what Facebook is doing with these headsets. On the other hand, they cannot be indifferent to Facebook AR glasses project.. That could be where big money really is.

[@chukah9484]

@@uncutfishing yeah I imagine it will take that lighter/ more portable AR glasses product by apple to really push the VR adoption into the mainstream space as apple will always have that cult-like following in the mainstream. I hope that apple is waiting for it to be very slim and practical for early adopters so that those AR glasses aren't DOA and prevent VR growth. Those apple customers adopting and slowly introducing people into AR from a practical standpoint will be much more beneficial for VR. Ultimately you are right. Whomever has the most portable headset or best games/software support is what will dominate marketshare. Who ever can keep their OS more open and give developers more tools will likely see the win on the software side and gain a lot of customer favor. Still VR in the mainstream still feels like many years away especially with the graphic fidelity that modern desktops are achieving these days. We need a much larger software library for VR before its practical and its a pity that currently AAA developers are avoiding VR as that market is so small it isn't worth the investment to them vs desktop. With how far away VR is from competing with desktop it feels like Elon Musks neuralink will beat VR headset development. I'm hoping in the more near future Arm+NvidiaGPU chip designs will advance VR headsets closer to x86 desktops and that hype train hardware wise I could see getting more VR / development adoption.

Already sold my Q1 and got exactly enough to pre-order the Q2. I do wonder why they didn't take the battery pack out of the front and put it at the back of the strap instead. Or they could have made it removable somehow so people could do that if they upgraded the strap. Edit: I was thinking about the IPD thing also, I think if your IPD falls between the presets you could 3d print some spacers that would force the lens to where you need them to be.

I'd suggest the majority of the additional power of the new chip will be going toward driving the higher res and refresh rate. If you can accept the lower res and refresh, I doubt you'll see any other real difference in rendered image quality between quest 1 and 2

[@fangzhouyu9916]

Hope Oculus can update Oculus Link quickly so that it can make use of the Quest2 hardware. The OG Quest video stream bitrate is limited to around 150Mbps (4k 60hz H.265) because of the performance of Snapdragon 835. XR2 can support 8k 60hz so now the Oculus Link can have higher bitrate and provide much better image.

I’m most interested in the quality of PCVR between Q1 and Q2.

Better resolution and hz. So it will be pretty good

[@Gamerad360]

The thing that might make a big difference on that front would be the XR2 chip might do better composition once, it's optimized, but it's using the same cable as the original quest, so it might not make a huge difference. Another question I'd have is if they can do some of the processing on the XR2 chip, so less processing is required on the pc.

This is the first video that I've seen from you and I'd like to say thank you lol In my opinion, I think that Quest 1 is better because it will take a bit for all the games on it to be available on Quest 2, but I can see why people would like Quest 2 more. Thanks for making this video, I bet it would've helped a lot of people!

[@rblxmach]

@@orb925 quest 2 has more resolution

[@vfragos]

@@orb925 useless are your comments

[@kwedl]

@@rblxmach People need to stop this "4k" or "higher than Index resolution" argument. The Quest never reached it's full resolution and neither will the Quest 2. In stand alone mode it's bottlenecked by the chipset and with Link it's bottlenecked by the low compression bitrate. You will never even get close to the full resolution. Lens and panel quality is way more important and PCVR headsets run at the full panel resolution because they have actual displayports, that's why the Index still has way better image quality than 8k VR headsets. John Carmack himself said that it will take years for a good chipset to come out that will support Quest 2 resolutions. Same reason why he said that the Oculus Go actually has the best image quality out of all Oculus headsets. It's the same problem with console and PC specs, everyone wants to be an expert but just blindly focus on the price and don't understand the actual specs.

[@josephsabato3763]

Great review! Thanks.

[@mtbross100]

Love your videos Tyriel. Your vid on F1 2020 for VR was so helpful! Been using original quest for PC sim racing and biggest complaint is quality of graphics. Have a good gaming PC, not top of table on every component, but quite good. I've adjusted to the graphics in the original Quest,, but clearer images..especially brake points and such, would be great. Do you think this new headset will perform better on PC, and specifically sim racing games (F1 2020, iracing, ACC)? If so, it would be an easy upgrade decision for me.

[@mtbross100]

I'll answer my own question :).... looks like G2 might be better but more time to see.....would be great to do comparison of Q2 and G2 for sims.

[@seth.topalian5538]

that's cause the Q2 isn't actually that big of an upgrade when you look at it. they made it more affordable and increased the performance a bit. i feel their aim is to get more people into their VR products. not necessarily to make their existing user base feel like they need to upgrade.
