Looks like a sweet update.
I'm hoping the resolution update will help the nausea I feel every time I put one of these things on. They are talking about doing some smoothing in the software as well but that would mean I would need a stupidly beastly computer to do it.

Smoothing in the headset software, if the computer was doing the smoothing, you'd just render higher.

@dustinb3403 Good to know. I just had a pop up that made no sense whatsoever. After some digging it points to github. Thanks

In glass finger print reader.
I dont' know about the rest of you, but the lack of a button has really annoyed me with the iPhone X and the Samsung Galaxy S8.

The absolute best place for a fingerprint reader on the phone is on the back. Like it is on a lot of LG phones, and the Google Pixel 2XL I have. It is the natural place your finger rests when you pick it up a lot of times.

I would be happy with two sensors in that case. I frequently touch the sensor on my phone while it's laying down on my desk. Picking it up would be a huge hassle.

Glad I never used that.
I love Signal. It's a great means of communications, similar to your iMessenger between 2 iPhones. I missed it when I went to Android.
It just seems that every time Microsoft gets their hands on an awesome product, it totally turns to crap.

LOL, I can't stand iMessenger, so unreliable
That's one of the reasons that I use Telegram, because iMessenger was so bad. Even when on just a phone, I try to go to just SMS because iMessenger messes up so often.
