In terms of CPU and storage options, both headsets are identical – using the same Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 chip and coming in either 128GB or 256GB options.īut the Pico 4 pulls ahead in pretty much every other regard. Specs-wise, the Pico 4 is the clear frontrunner. As such, we’ll have to call this round a draw but we’ll update this page as soon as we’ve had a chance to review the VR headset properly. (Image credit: Craig Russell / Shutterstock)Īt the time of writing, we haven’t had enough time to try out the Pico 4, so while we believe its design will likely have many advantages, we can’t say if its design is indeed effective. The Oculus Quest 2's battery pack helps to balance the weight, but the VR headset is front heavy which can be uncomfortable for some. In addition, the battery is situated at the back of the strap, further slimming down the part of the headset on your face and helping to better distribute the headset’s weight around your head.īecause of this, despite being heavier – coming in at 586g compared to the Quest 2’s 503g – the Pico 4 generally looks less bulky.
It swaps out the fresnel lens setup for a newer pancake lens optics system that allows the display and lenses to be much closer together, making the front box much slimmer.
The box itself is very bulky, and relies on a fresnel lens optical setup for users to be able to see the worlds they’re being immersed in.īy contrast, the Pico 4 has a next-gen design. All of the components – the display, batteries, and processing power – are housed in a single box that is what your eyes look into.
The Oculus Quest 2 offers a more traditional design. But within those parameters, two headsets can still look fairly different.
Pico 4 vs the Oculus Quest 2: designĪll VR headsets have a fairly similar design a display covers your eyes and is attached to your head via straps. But for those of you in the UK, if we just looked at the price, the Pico 4 is the better option. So for now, unless you can import a Pico 4, you can only choose Meta’s VR headset if you’re in the US or Australia. Rumors swirled that the Pico headset would also come to the US, but that has yet to happen. We really wish the Pico 4 was available in more than 13 countries.
