When the Oculus Quest 2 first arrived, it was equipped with 64GB of storage. These days, that’s not nearly enough room to hold multiple games, which is a shame because it’s one of the best standalone VR headsets out there. There are some awesome Oculus Rift games to play on the system too. Luckily, the Oculus crew decided on a refresh that will offer double the storage.

The Oculus Quest 2, available from August 24, now includes 128GB of storage offering more room for games and content, and “more to explore.” Want to know the best part? The price hasn’t changed at all, which is still $299. You can also opt for a 256GB model for $399. Both include free shipping when purchased from Walmart. You can head right over to Walmart’s website to order now, or read more below!

Facebook-owned Oculus has refreshed one of our favorite standalone or “all-in-one” VR headsets, the Oculus Quest 2. While the original only included 64GB of storage, the new re-release now has 128GB, at its lowest, up to 256GB. The price hasn’t budged either, and the 128GB model is still $299. What we’re most excited about, however, is the list of amazing games coming to the system. Resident Evil 4 VR is just one example, which was shown off at the 2021 Oculus digital gaming showcase.

Walmart is one of the best places to order the Oculus Quest 2, whether by itself — it comes with controllers — or in a bundle, with various accessories. There are a lot of different options, too. You can grab a carrying case, link cables, grip covers, extra touch controllers, and much more.

The Oculus Quest 2 (128GB) is $299 with free shipping, while the Oculus Quest 2 (256GB) is $399. Both will arrive within the next few days if you order now. They include the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset and 2 wireless Oculus Touch controllers. You can use this thing right out of the box, after connecting to the mobile Oculus app — which is free. Just keep in mind, you will need wireless internet access, so you’ll have to connect the Quest 2 to your local WiFi. You can also grab an optional link cable to connect the headset to a compatible gaming PC.

Apple’s rumored camera AirPods Pro may have hit a major roadblock
Bloomberg had them nearly done. Kosutami says suspended. The truth is somewhere Apple hasn't shared yet.
AirPods Pro 3 case view top

In May, Bloomberg reported that Apple's camera-equipped AirPods Pro had reached "advanced" testing and could be heading toward early mass production. As someone who has used both AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Pro 3, I was looking forward to them.

This week, a leaker has contradicted that. Kosutami, a prototype collector and occasional Apple leaker, posted on X that the project has been "suspended." No additional details were provided. The post appeared to correct an earlier June update in which Kosutami had described the product's development "case" as "concluded," suggesting the revision was meaningful (via MacRumors).

Your Galaxy Watch is losing a health feature, and the replacement needs another gadget
Samsung is killing Vascular Load on Galaxy Watches
Blood pressure on Samsung Galaxy Watch 8.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watches have been leaning harder into health features with every generation. Sleep scores, heart metrics, blood pressure, and much more are all big selling points. Samsung is removing the standalone Vascular Load feature for Galaxy Watch users in the United States.

According to a Samsung Health notice spotted by users on Reddit (via SammyGuru), the feature will no longer be available starting in late July with Samsung Health 7.0 and the One UI Watch 9 update. Samsung’s notice reportedly says existing Vascular Load records will also disappear from Samsung Health once the feature is removed. Users who want to keep that history need to export their personal data in advance through Samsung Health settings.

The OPPO Watch X3 has a ridiculous feature I cannot stop using
My smartwatch let me doomscroll from my wrist
Oppo Watch X3 Media Controls

While smartwatches were built to make us more health-conscious and have us reach for our phones less often. I always believed that a second (smaller) screen on your wrist basically can be just as distracting as your smartphone, and the Oppo Watch X3 decided to stop pretending by doubling down on this.

The Oppo Watch X3 comes with a dedicated remote control feature that lets me control my phone from my wrist, and I am having way too much fun messing around with it. This sounds ridiculous, but it has also been surprisingly handy.
