The long-awaited Oculus Quest 2 is finally arriving next month, and we think the users should opt for this one. The biggest reason for that is its 256GB of storage. In this article, we have shared our perspectives regarding this new VR, which would help the curious VR consumers get some information about the device. Let’s jump to the details regarding this all-new Oculus Quest 2.

The Oculus Quest 2 provides massive storage of 256GB. This variant comes at a price of $399, which is only $100 more than the 64GB model of the Oculus Quest. However, last year’s 64GB Quest model sold for $399 and the 128GB variant got sold for $499. If we compare this year’s model to the previous ones, then it offers four times storage compared to the previous 64GB variant.

The Oculus Quest headsets don’t come with expandable storage, and this way the 64GB isn’t that much space for games when it comes to VR, so it is better to have space four times by paying only $100 more.

In a 64GB variant, your space would get filled very quickly and then if you want to install or download any other apps or videos, you will have to first uninstall the existing ones from your device, as the Oculus Quest headsets don’t offer expandable storage. So, you might get stuck somewhere in between which might only get solved by going for a higher storage variant.

In addition to the storage, the all-new Oculus Quest 2 would have a 50% higher resolution than its predecessor. The textures and applications of the Oculus Quest 2 will be larger in size. This indirectly means the new Oculus Quest 2 would require 20-30% more storage than the original Quest due to larger file sizes. So, the 256GB variant would be an excellent choice for those who want a significant amount of storage. The Oculus Quest 2 is loaded with a Qualcomm XR2 processor which offers a robust performance similar to the fastest smartphones that are available in the market.

But, currently, the 256GB model is not in stock as it sold out within a day, it got announced. This seems a great win for Oculus; however, we would say that the company has definitely failed to estimate the initial demand of the all-new Oculus Quest 2. We expect that the company would consider this in its next unit sale, and would put a more significant order this time.

Meanwhile, it would be best if you also considered purchasing the Elite strap accessory alongside your 256GB Oculus Quest 2 model as the Elite strap is a must to have accessory with it.

Conclusion

The all-new Oculus Quest 2 is an impressive piece of hardware structure designed till date by Oculus, and the user cannot wait to have hands on it. It offers excellent storage for storing games and videos in large amounts as the 256GB storage is not a thing to be messed up with. However, there are no announcements yet regarding what kind of apps would be making their way to the Quest 2.
