We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
2.Can be used wirelessly
✔Oculus Quest 2
Wireless devices allow users more freedom of movement.
3.adjustable IPD
✔Oculus Quest 2
Interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance between the center of your eyes. Without adjustable IPD, the lenses of a VR headset may not line up with your pupils, which can result in eye strain and nausea.
4.battery power
10000mAh
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
5.has a battery level indicator
✔Oculus Quest 2
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
6.thickness
142.5mm
We consider a thinner chassis better because it makes the product more compact and portable. Thinness is a feature highlighted by many manufacturers of mobile devices, but it is essential for a wide range of products.
7.height
102mm
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product. We consider a smaller height better because it assures easy maneuverability.
8.volume
2783.45cm³
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
9.maximum operating temperature
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The maximum temperature at which the device can perform to the optimal level.
Display & Lenses
1.screen size
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The bigger the screen size is, the better the user experience.
2.resolution
3664 x 1920px
Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen. The resolution is given as a compound value, comprised of horizontal and vertical pixels.
3.field of view
100°
A wider field of view assures an immersive and realistic experience.
4.refresh rate
120Hz
The frequency at which the screen is refreshed. Higher frequency results in less flickering (less noise) and more natural movement representation in action-intense scenes.

7.Has an OLED or AMOLED display
✖Oculus Quest 2
OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) displays are formed of organic materials that emit light. They have higher contrast ratios and wider viewing angles compared to LCDs. AMOLED and POLED are types of OLED displays.
8.lens diameter
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Lenses with a bigger diameter offer better image quality.
9.pixel density
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch (PPI) on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.
Performance
1.CPU speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
2.RAM
6GB
Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of volatile memory used to store working data and machine code currently in use. It is a quick-access, temporary virtual storage that can be read and changed in any order, thus enabling fast data processing.
3.internal storage
256GB
The internal storage refers to the built-in storage space available in a device for system data, apps, and user-generated data. With a large amount of internal storage, you can save more files and apps on your device.

The product itself is GREAT however the Oculus Support at META is the worst I've ever seen in my entire life. My unit has a defect and there's rampant porch piracy. They fail at ensuring guaranteed delivery and refuse options to furnish replacements where the unit was bought if they do a recall even if you've purchased a store warranty! I've been trying to replace my defective Quest 2 for 3 months and have yet to have this issue resolved!

Don't get me wrong, I've had mine for nearly 2 years and the only thing i have issues with is stick drift. Controller life span (continuous use) is 1.5 years. after the V37 update that "Fixes the drifting issues" you can still feel the controller being sluggish after that.
