Didn't realize they'd added it back to the Quest series. It was a mistake in the first place on the Rift S, good that they reversed course.

I honestly haven't paid super close attention to their hardware since the Rift S was such a disappointment and the Quest had the lowered screen refresh rates.

Rift S felt like an in-between step to partially satisfy PCVR users, and it was dropped disappointingly quickly. It's obvious that Facebook is moving towards standalone headsets now.

Quest 2 is designed to hit a very low price point, and it certainly shows. But despite that, it's a very competent high-resolution, high-framerate (90, with experimental 120Hz support) VR headset; the only major drawbacks are low FOV, poor color quality on the display, and lack of uncompressed PCVR.
