Which Oculus Go should you buy — 32GB or 64GB?

 

Oculus Go

You probably know the news – the Oculus Go headset has started to get shipped out, meaning you’ll be able to buy your Oculus Go headsets online. But, you probably noticed that there are two types of Oculus Go headsets to choose from. So, now you have an even bigger question, which one do you choose? Well, it’s time you learned first what makes them different from each other.

 

First of all, let’s quickly recap what the Oculus Go headset actually is. The Oculus Go is an all-in-one virtual headset. The headset offers users the chance to connect to a mobile virtual reality without the use of a smartphone, computer, or gaming console. This headset stands alone as it doesn’t need support from other devices. A computer is built into the headset which means the moment you place it on your head you’ll be able to immerse yourself in a movie, game, or experience. It’s packed with tracking sensors and includes a controller which is everything you need.

 

The 32G Headset

Though the two types of headsets are basically the same, one thing does differ- the size. If you’re new to VR or are only looking to use it casually, during the weekends or when you have some free time to spare, then you should consider the 32G headset. The 32G indicates the amount of memory which the headset can hold and if you’re not looking to use it on a regular basis, then you don’t really need one that comes with a boat-load of memory. You won’t need much memory for casual use, especially if you’re only going to use it a couple hours a week.

 

If you’re buying this headset for a child they also won’t need much memory as the apps that they’re going to use with the headset won’t require that much space. So, you’ll have plenty of room for games even after you install Facebook and Netflix onto the device. Basically, if you’re going to be browsing the internet, going on Facebook and watching movies then this 32G is perfect for you. Of course, if you’re looking to step it up and go into heavy-duty virtual reality, then you’ll want something with more memory such as the 64G headset.

 

Best Use: Weekend users, children, casual gamers and movie watchers

 

The 64GB Headset

Now, if you’re requiring more memory, then you’ll want to opt for the 64G headset. WIth the Oculus Go, you’re not able to expand your storage as you can with the Gear VR – which can be a problem if you underestimated the amount of usage of your headset. If you’re downloading movies, they can take up to 2G of memory per file, if not more. In addition, all your apps will download onto your headset will also take up precious memory as well. So, without noticing you’ll realize that your storage space is going to be used up quite quickly, especially if you only have 32G. Now, that’s why there’s the 64G.

 

Since you don’t have the device in your hands yet, you know actually know how much space the operating system will take up as well. See, there’s a lot to think about when getting yourself an Oculus Go headset. If you’re an avid user of virtual reality, it’ll be a shame to opt for the 32G. You yourself know that you’re going to be using this device much more than you intend, so, it’s best to keep it safe an go with a headset that has a little extra more memory. When you have it, you don’t want to be scarce on how you use it, you want to be able to fully enjoy it without any limitations.

 

Best Use: gamers, intense gamers and movie watchers

 

Now that you know the differences between the two, it’s time you went and purchased the one which suits you and your needs the best. Have fun!
