But what exactly does this next gen device deliver to those who fork out the $299 &#8211; $399 price tag? This look at Quest 2 aims to provide an overview of the device, its attributes, and what makes it such an important hardware release for the entire VR industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bolstering the already powerful original Quest\u2019s guts with a Snapdragon XR2 Platform processor and 6GB of memory, adding redesigned controllers and improved battery life, Quest 2 aims to be the strongest all-in-one VR headset on the market.

With 1832&#215;1920 pixels-per-eye offering a 90% increase of Rift S, and 50% over the first Quest, users can expect a much more fluid experience moving around and through a virtual space.
