Buying decision

Should you buy it?

Don't buy a Quest 2 unless it's a cheap used unit for a kid's first headset: Meta stopped selling it in 2024, and the Quest 3S uses the same 1832 x 1920-per-eye LCD with the much faster Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 and full-color passthrough. The Quest 2, which launched in October 2020, runs the original Snapdragon XR2 with 6GB of RAM, shows passthrough only in black and white, and weighs 503 g. It still plays most of the Quest store and streams PC VR over Air Link or a USB-C cable. Skip it for mixed-reality apps, which need color cameras, and buy the Quest 3S instead.

Best for

Families who find a cheap used unit for a child's first VR headset.

Not for

Anyone buying new or wanting mixed reality; the Quest 3S replaces it.

Main strengthSame 1832 x 1920-per-eye LCD as today's Quest 3S
