In what situation does the Quest's DeviceName show as "Standalone HMD"?

I use Unity's DeviceName interface to get the device model of the user. It works fine most of the time, but for some devices, the model name comes up as "Standalone HMD." Anyone know what device this is?

Hi forty1212,
i think this is a common thing in Unity (because it also happened to me too many times, so I guess it's a common thing😁). When running on a standalone VR headset like the Oculus Quest or Quest 2, the system sometimes doesn’t provide a specific model name. Instead, Unity just returns a generic "HMD" (head-mounted display) label. (cmiiw)
