Quest 3 VS Pico 4 wich VR headset is truly the best
1- Haedware
starting with the hardware The meta quest3 released a year afer that of the pico4 but when comparing it's hardware specs they are a lot closer than you might think both headset are rocking the next generation pancake lenses which makes it possible for the front feisers to be a lot slimmer compared to it's predecessors that also means that they both rock the same field of view of about 110° but when we look at the displays quest3 is using a single LCD panel with a resolution that is slightly lower than that of Pico4 and on top of that pico is using two LCD panels resulting in a slightly higher pixel density than that of meta but while the pico4 might have a slight advantage when it comes to the screen quality the biggest difference can be seen in the chipsets because meta quest3 is using the brand new XR2 generation 2chip which has more than double the performance power than that of the pico4 creating an absolute insane difference when it comes to future potential because while most VR games at the moment don't utilize the power that the quest3 is capable of looking more towards releases the bigger games that will be played on the quest3 will outperform the pico4 by a long shot
2-mixed reality capabilities
both headset are rocking colar pass through cameras on the outside which lets the user experience mixed reality by seeing their surroundings in full color it is the quest3 that is also equipped with a liar scanner this is basically a depth sensor that ensures that all the digital objects and windows are much more seamlessly shown inside your user environment that means that once again Meta quest3 is outperforming.
3-Head-strap
pico although there is one important thing where the pico4 dose shine a lot brighter and that is with it's included head strap because right out of the box they have a Halo strap directly built into it not only does this make the headset much more comfotable it is because they how some of the components inside of it that it will also feel a lot less front heavy to your face which is a very big deal when it comes to longer gaming sessions and while it is possible to get a proad strap for your quest3 it sure does come in cheap and besides meta is also known to have some huge problems when it comes to their own line of head straps but of course it's not just the headset that is part of the hardware because we also see a big difference between these to when it comes down to the controllers
4-VR Controllers
With the meta quest3 revamping their entire lineup with what they call their touch plus controller and where the pico4 still has the outside tracking ring it is actually what is inside the controller that makes such a big difference because meta quest3 has the brand new true haptics this means that it can provide isolated rumbles completely throughout your grip as well as inside your triggers creating a much more enhanced immersion similar to what we see in the playstation VR2 controllers in constrast the pico4 have a much more basic version of this and their tracking is also slightly less accurate thanks to the spatial lighter scanner that we talked about before so when it comes to controller the quest3 is definitely taking the win.
5-Software
Because while it is great to have a high-and VR headset in the and it is software that you're using it for this can be things from games to productivity as well as social features that could completely change your experience inside VR with the most prominent one being their VR game library because the meta game store in much bigger compared to that of the pico4 especially since meta owns a lot of VR Studios resulting in a lot of games being only playable on their VR headset and while pico did try to port over as many games as they could some of them will sadly not see the light of day on this headset and that is now especially important when you look at big games like Asgard's Wrath 2 which is currently only available for meta quest users however both these VR headsets are also capable of playing PC VR content like Steam VR if you connect them to a buff gaming PC but it is not just for the games because a lot of other things like productivity apps hand tracking and regular updates that unlock a bunch of new features the quest3 just takes this to a whole other level but another important thing that we have to talk about is of course the price.
6-The price
With the pico4 coming in at a price tag of 430$, The meta quest3 pumps set up slightly coming in at 500$, But that gets us to the final conclusion.
While the pico4 has a better dual LCD display and pro head strap directly out of the box, The quest3 looks much more like the next generation VR headset have tow times more powerful chipset improved controllers but especially it's insane library of games with some great exclusives that just keep growing every day and although the quest3 comes in at a slightly higher price i definitely belive that it is worth the upgrade while on the other hand we should not forget that the pico4 released a year earlier and could perhaps quickly catch up with the release of their next VR headset but that's not all because there are also some must-play games and apps that you just have to try so leave comment about this comparison and subscribe via email to recieve updates about VR headset and everything related to VR.
