Oculus Quest 2 Announcement

Sep, 2020
California, U.S.

In September 2020, Facebook unveiled an updated version of the Quest, Oculus Quest 2. It is similar to the original Quest, but with the Snapdragon XR2 system-on-chip and additional RAM, an all-plastic exterior, new cloth head straps, improved Oculus Touch controllers with improved ergonomics and battery life, and an 1832x1920 per-eye display that is currently supporting running at 120 Hz. Similar to the Rift S, it uses a single display panel rather than individual panels for each eye. Due to this design, it has more limited inter-pupillary distance options than the original Quest, with the ability to physically move the lenses to adjust for 3 common IPD measurements. The Quest 2's models are both priced US$100 cheaper than their first-generation equivalents.
