First thing I noticed was the black levels are no where near as good as the Quest 1. But oh damn, that display is sharp.
SDE is NOT gone, but it is massively reduced. I notice it mostly looking at UI and reading text.
Thank God setting 2 fits my IPD best because the loss of FOV in setting 3 is really bad.
I was gutted the elite strap has been delayed for me but I was pleasantly surprised by the built in one, it feels more comfortable to me than the Quest 1 strap so far, let's see how I feel after extended use though.
This might be a placebo, but is the tracking more responsive? Just feels like a sliver of delay has been shaved off.

One word wow!
I wont bother writting a description but here have this:
Screen quality is amazing.
Display percievably (subjective) 2x better then RiftS display (the RiftS has a great display!)
Battery life seems decent. After an hour at lunch it had used 30%.
Comfort is greatly improved over quest1. I sent the Quest1 back because i couldnt manage more then 10 minutes it was that uncomfortable. So far I have only used the cloth strap and it is respectable. I will try the elite strap later. You wouldn't feel like taking the Quest2 on holiday would require you to take the elite strap.
Sound quality is good now! Not best in class but greatly improved over both the RiftS and Quest1. I am surprised no one is talking about this?! At one point I thought I was snapped out of VR and thought I was wearing headphones when I heard my kitten meowing upstairs in distress. It was a presence moment where I was compltely unaware that I was listening to an audio device! Thanks to the speakers being built into the unit,
Sound volume is really good now! Both on RiftS and Quest1 the sound volume are just pathetic.
FOV seems decent. On par with RiftS. Probably better on Quest2, but it doesn't feel like a revolutionary jump.
God rays are gone entirely unless direct black on white scenes. Much like the RiftS but there is a small improvement in Quest2.
The "sweet spot" feels on par with RiftS. Maybe a bit better. Its hard to say because the display is just sooooooo much better. So even if the sweet spot is smaller, the sheer quality of anything outside that lets you ignore that somewhat!
Responsiveness is revolutionary. No system lag. No UI lag. App launch is super fast. No frame stutter. No lag. Nothing. The new hardware is next level!
Watching trailers in bigscreen was eye opening. IF anything the bitrate of the trailers now cant keep up with the sheer quality of the display. You notice the encoding more then you notice any screen artifacts.
The display density is most definitely viable for serious usage as an in VR screen. You feel like there is a enough quality even at cinema screen distance.
Hands in VR is magical. There is a slight lag of hand movement to visual update but it doesn't feel pointless. It feels like once all developers implement it that it is something you will actively want to use.
Havn't tried beat sabre yet but tracking seems stable. I had no loss of tracking. The Quest1 tracking I found to be really poor compared to RiftS. I suspect that Quest2 wont be as good as RiftS but so far it seems solid! You dont feel like your fighting with the hardware!
Device temperature is greatly improved over Quest1. It was part of the reason I returned Quest1. The front just got too hot! After about 45 minutes of mixed usage today on Quest2 I felt the front of the device. It was warm but not hot. The Quest1 literally made my head sweat and gave me a headache because it was too hot. The Quest1 always seemed to fog up for me too! Quest2 has probably a 2x-3x (subjective) improvement here!

Anyway, I look forward to reading more firsthand accounts from the community members here as we start to receive our headsets.
