News today, Tianfeng International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo released a report saying that Meta is the world’s largest supplier of VR devices and is expected to ship 9 million units in 2021.

Meta is the world’s largest supplier of VR devices and is expected to ship 9 million units in 2021 . Meta launched Oculus Air Link in 2Q21, allowing the most popular Oculus Quest series to connect to PC via Wi-Fi instead of wired connection. Since Quest 2 launched in 2020 is equipped with Wi-Fi 6 with better specifications (Quest 1 in 2019 is Wi-Fi 5), only Quest 2 can provide up to 120Hz experience through Oculus Air Link.
-
Oculus Air Link requires Wi-Fi to support 5GHz, so at least Wi-Fi 5 must be supported. Wi-Fi 6 is significantly better than Wi-Fi 5 in terms of transmission speed and power consumption, so Meta’s latest Oculus Quest 2 supports Wi-Fi 6. Wi-Fi 6 helps Oculus Air Link work more stably, and allows the screen refresh rate to be up to 120Hz (Wi-Fi 5 is 72Hz or 90Hz).
-
In order to improve the wireless experience and boost shipments, most wireless headsets will support the latest Wi-Fi specifications. The report predicts that most wireless headsets launched in 2022 will be equipped with Wi-Fi 6/6E.
-
The DNS has learned that the report stated that if head-mounted displays want to improve the wireless experience, they must adopt the latest Wi-Fi specifications. In 2022, the new head-mounted displays of Meta, Apple, and Sony are equipped with Wi-Fi 6/6E.
-
According to the survey, less than 5% of mobile phones and laptops currently sold support the latest Wi-Fi 6. The reason is that mobile phone and laptop users are indifferent to whether their devices support Wi-Fi 6. However, head-mounted display devices need to support the latest Wi-Fi specifications if they want the best wireless experience.
-
The connection requirements of head-mounted display devices in high bandwidth, update frequency and low latency are significantly higher than those of smartphones and laptops. Therefore, if you want to improve the wireless experience, the report predicts that most of the new head-mounted displays will support the new Wi-Fi specifications.
-
Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 and 5G millimeter wave are the most suitable connection technologies for head-mounted display devices. Taking into account the battery life, the report predicts that within 2-3 years, most wireless headsets will only support the latest Wi-Fi specifications. In 2–3 years, high-end head-mounted display devices will be equipped with the latest Wi-Fi specifications and 5G millimeter waves.
-
The report predicts that Meta, Apple and Sony will be the most influential brands in the meta universe device market in 2022 . Meta, Apple and Sony will launch new head-mounted display devices in 2H22 (the second half of 2022), 4Q22 (the fourth quarter of 2022) and 2Q22 (the second quarter of 2022), respectively. Both Meta and Apple’s new models support Wi-Fi 6E, and Sony’s PS 5 VR devices support Wi-Fi 6 .
Guo Mingchi stated in the report that Meta expects that Meta universe users will reach 1 billion within 10 years, and the Wi-Fi supply chain will significantly benefit from this trend.
-
Meta predicts that there will be 1 billion users of Meta universe within 10 years . Taking into account that Facebook is not the exclusive supplier and replacement needs, the report predicts that the shipments of head-mounted display devices will reach billions in 10 years .
-
As the latest Wi-Fi specifications are the basic requirements for the wireless experience of head-mounted displays, the Wi-Fi supply chain will significantly benefit from this trend in the next 10 years, including Wi-Fi chips, RF front-ends, LTCC and wireless routers.

Samsung is making it easier for users to fix their devices by expanding its DIY repair program. In a recent announcement, Samsung shared that over a dozen new devices will be included in the Self-Repair program. Among them are the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, marking the introduction of DIY repair options for Samsung’s foldable phones.

Samsung [Samsung Newsroom Post] is taking a step towards empowering users to take control of their device maintenance, offering support for popular devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 in this latest expansion.
Until now, Samsung mainly provided DIY repair options for its regular smartphones, tablets, and laptops. However, when it came to the more intricate foldable models like the Galaxy Fold and Flip, the company limited users to professional repair services due to the complexity of these devices.

This means users will soon have the option to tackle repairs at home, marking a shift in Samsung’s approach to empower users in maintaining and fixing their foldable devices.
This development follows Google’s recent introduction of DIY repair options for its Pixel Fold, though it’s worth noting that repair parts for the Pixel Fold can be relatively expensive, such as the inner screen alone costing $900. As Samsung joins the DIY repair trend for foldables, it’ll be interesting to see how this impacts the accessibility and affordability of maintaining these innovative devices.
The full list of new Self-Repair options for Galaxy devices includes:
- Galaxy Z Fold 5
- Galaxy Z Flip 5
- Galaxy S23
- Galaxy S23+
- Galaxy S23 Ultra
- Galaxy S23 FE
- Galaxy A05s

Samsung is making its Self-Repair program available to more people around the world. The program is spreading to South Korea and over 30 European countries, including places like Denmark, Greece, Hungary, and Portugal. However, it’s important to note that, as of now, these new devices are not yet supported in the United States, and parts are not available from Samsung’s retail partner, iFixit.
