Speaking of the Snapdragon XR2, Meta has supposedly been working with chip maker Qualcomm to create a second-generation version of this mobile chip, which could have double the graphics power of the Meta Quest 2.

Lynch says that the Quest 3 should get an upgrade to the next-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2, which is rumored to be codenamed “Project Halliday.” With mixed reality on the Quest 3, the headset could get a huge boost in its passthrough mode, giving users a more clear view of their surroundings while wearing the headset.Īdditionally, the device is expected to get slimmer and sport a couple of upgrades.

This was seen in the Meta Quest Pro and will now make its way to the relatively cheaper Quest 3. In Meta's recent earnings call, Mark Zuckerberg confirmed this saying that the Quest 3 will get Meta Reality - the technology that allows the headset to be used for both augmented reality as well as virtual reality.
This may be an indication that the rumored Apple VR/AR headset is shifting the consumer VR market. It plans to do this with a combination of a four-camera array and a depth sensor to allow for mixed reality elements. First, the Quest 3 looks set to be a mixed reality headset rather than strictly a virtual reality headset. Lynch's subsequent leak unleashed a bevy of specs for the Quest 3. This represents a 30% upgrade over the Meta Quest 2’s 1,920 by 1,832 pixels per eye. A speedy refresh rate out of the box would be much appreciated, especially by those who can suffer from motion sickness when using VR headsets.Īccording to Brad Lynch (opens in new tab), a VR analyst, the expected resolution for the Quest 3 is 4,128 by 2,208 pixels or 2,064 by 2,208 pixels per eye. The current Quest 2 currently supports a 120Hz refresh rate but it needs apps to upscale content to meet that mark. We expect that the Meta Quest 3 will have a 120Hz display by default.

Meta will use a significantly upgraded headset to justify a price point of more than $400, but it will keep the price below the PSVR 2's $549 price point as a way to promote the headset as a good value for those looking to get into VR.
In the leaked VR/AR roadmap Meta VP Mark Rabkin is said to have told employees that they will need to “prove to people that all this power, all these new features are worth it.” As previously mentioned, Meta has had to mark down the Quest Pro and Quest 2 headsets and even Sony is struggling to justify the $549 price for its PSVR 2 headset despite the fact that it is technically impressive.įor what it is worth, Meta seems aware of this problem. Unfortunately for Meta, VR headset manufacturers have struggled to justify their high price points. In this leak, Meta employees were told to expect that the price tag will sit at $400 or above. In that same leak that spilled a lot of information on the Quest 3, the rumored price point for the Quest 3 was also tipped.
