Context

Understanding field of view

Field of view is a numeric spec measured in °. On this metric, higher values are generally better, but returns diminish past category-typical thresholds — going from a low value to a mid value usually matters far more than going from a mid value to a high one. When comparing two products, focus on the percentage gap rather than the raw delta: a 200-unit lead means something very different at the low end of the range than at the high end. Pay attention to the unit, too — manufacturers sometimes quote peak or burst figures that are not sustained in real-world use. Cross-check the published number against independent measurements where possible, especially for performance and battery claims. Finally, remember that a single spec rarely tells the whole story; the Mars Score weighs field of view together with the rest of the spec sheet so one outlier doesn't distort the verdict.

This matchupXR-4's 120° is roughly 3% higher than Beyond 2's 116° (a 4° gap). Whether that gap is noticeable depends on workload — small percentage gaps rarely change day-to-day experience, while gaps of 20% or more usually do.
