Review articles have already been published, but while there are some improvements compared to the original Oculus Quest, it seems that there are still problems. On the news site Ars Technica, the performance is inferior to the first generation in terms of VR controller detection, the headset strap has been deteriorated, the refresh rate option has '90 Hz', but the offer date is undecided, etc. After giving a point, I assert that I do not recommend it.
