On June 1st, 2023 the Meta Quest 3 was announced and since then many VR interested and Piko 4 owners have been asking themselves whether the switch will be worthwhile today I will compare the Quest 3 with the Pico 4 in detail to give you as neutral an impression as possible with which improvement you can count on the upgrade if you are interested in further headset comparisons such as Quest 2 vs Pico 4 or Quest 3 vs Quest pro and vs Quest 2 then take a look at this info card or stay tuned to the end I will link a playlist there for you compare it with other exciting headsets, this is of course just my opinion, which I will explain to you in detail, but if you see the whole thing differently then that’s absolutely fine, I’m very excited to read your opinion, just write it to me in the comments Do you always want to be the first to know when there is a new headset comparison then subscribe to the zugtübung turns on the bell and now let's not waste any time and get going have fun we come to the chipset first as usual the Quest 3 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen2 installed While the Pico 4 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 of the first generation installed, the GPU installed in the Snapdragon XR2 is called Adreno 740 and is basically able to provide twice the GPU power of the Pico 4 with standard clocking, in which an Adreno 650 is working that is coming with graphically complex applications such as virtual reality to bear this is not a narrow victory but a house high victory in the pq4 you have a 2.84 gigahertz processor 3 2.42 gigahertz processors and 4 1.8 gigahertz processors in the quest 3 we also have a decent increase in the CPU I have one core with 3.19 gigahertz four cores with 2.8 gigahertz and three cores with 2.0 gigahertz so here is a clear point for the Quest 3 when this GPU is maxed out by games we can look forward to really really snazzy standalone for air games now let's get to the resolution this refers to the quality of the images the headset can display a higher resolution will result in sharper images the Quest 3 has a resolution of 2064 x 228 pixels which corresponds to 4.56 million pixels per eye or a total of 9.11 million pixels, the Pico 4 resolves with 2160 x 2160 pixels to a total of 4.67 million pixels per eye or a total of 9.33 million pixels, so here in terms of resolution a tight one Victory for the Pico 4 when using the display for the LCD displays LCD is definitely not the best display technology when it comes to virtual reality Mini LED with local dimming or OLED would definitely be better for better contrasts or black levels but you can find them in usually only in significantly more expensive headsets such as the Quest pro if you are interested in a comparison between the Quest 3, the Quest 2 and the Quest pro then take a look at my corresponding comparison video at the link you can find in the information card or in full at the end in the endcard it goes on to the image repetition rate which is also very decisive for the via experience quest 3 has 120 hertz the pico 490 hertz so the point goes to the quest 3 because it can nominally do more even if the 90 heart of the pq4 are completely sufficient for most VR applications Another important point in the optics of a headset is the eye relief the Quest 3 is likely to cover an eye relief of 55 mm to 75 mm like the Quest pro, but here we are again in the rumor mill area the Pico 4 covers an interpupillary distance of 62 to 72 mm but this point is still very speculative and therefore I am taking it out of the rating for the time being another important criterion for the perception of virtual reality is the built-in lenses pancake lenses use a combination of mirrors and lenses around the Directing light back and forth several times before it reaches the eye allows for a particularly short distance between the eye and the displays, which makes the slim form factor of both headsets possible, but are pancake lenses the same as pancake lenses? I like the pancake lenses of the Quest pro better but it's only a little bit because it's a little less Have mirror effects like empty and this makes the picture a bit clearer the pancake lenses of the Pico 4 are also great and a clear improvement over the usual franell lenses but as I said there is still some room for improvement and the Quest pro has it slightly ahead okay so there are starting points that the lenses of the Meta Quest headsets could have an advantage over the Piko 4 pancake lenses but here there are no obvious objective indications to clearly attribute the point here to a headset, so for the Pico 4 a real one well-intentioned tie it goes on with the field of vision basically the interpupillary distance the distance between the eyes and the lenses, for example through the face cover or through a glasses spacer, is decisive and can affect the foot both positively and negatively if we again use our classic unit head with a unit face cover Assuming we end up with the following values, the Quest 3 should have a missing in any case about 100 degrees horizontally a lot of 104 degrees and who vertically of 103 degrees which in principle corresponds to about 100 degrees because unfortunately we don't have anything more precise about the FAU again Quest 3 know I would take this point out of the rating until we know more so that there is no unfair rating due to a guess no points for both headsets in this category it goes on with the cameras and the points Mixed Reality that Quest 3 has four black-and-white cameras two color cameras and a depth sensor are installed the mixed reality mode is therefore three-dimensional in color and in high resolution the Pico 4 has four black-and-white cameras one color camera and the mixed reality mode is also colored in contrast to Pico 4 the Quest 3 was developed directly as a mixed reality headset Meter announced that the flight from the Quest 3 should not only have color but also ten times the resolution of the Quest 2 patron andrew boswolf admitted in an interview that the Quest 3 in this point the pico 4 performs much better the patrue of the pico 4 is colored but the resolution is also much lower than that of the quest 3, which in my opinion is not so great for the pico 4 person is the warp effect it feels like it would you see the world through a kind of light bullau and that makes everything a bit distorted so there is a crystal clear point for Quest 3 for Quest 3 there should also be many many augmented or mixed reality apps and games you are interested in the possibilities of the Quest 3 in the field of mixed reality then just write a one in the comments enough iron will come together if I make a video here for the next one point that we can check off relatively quickly is the face and egg tracking Both headsets don't support that, only the crafting that works better with meters than with the Pico 4 for my taste and shouldn't improve much again too tight 3 but I can only judge the current status so I'm really satisfied with the handtracking of both headsets not a very nice gimmick if there is a significant improvement to the Quest 3 then I could give this point to the Quest 3 but I just don't want to do that based on speculation and that's why no point goes to both for the face and the i-tracking Headsets next we come to the connections and connectivity the Quest 3 will of course have Bluetooth but at the moment it is unclear in which variant WiFi six is probably usb-c and a jack connection as well as the possibility of charging the Quest 2 wirelessly via a charging cradle the Pico 4 has Bluetooth 5.1 WiFi sixx usb-c and no jack connection so mostly at eye level when you see the jack connection of the Quest 3 and the wireless charging option but what really bothers me about the Pico 4 is the jack connection although there is an adapter but then it has You fiddled around with the headset again and quickly just couldn't get my head around why Piko just saved on it, so here it's close but because of the existing jack connection it's a justified point for the Quest 3, even if they are basically standalone headsets, you can also use them in combination with a PC for gaming on Steam such as argames such as Half Life LX, while the Quest 3 with the sophisticated Link and R Link can easily be a system-integrated wired or Piko is far from ready to play PC VR wirelessly, the variants supplied are simply not optimal and you will not have a good wireless or wired PC VR experience, so in my opinion the Pico 4 is not a bad PC VR headset because it there is a tool called virtual desktop and it costs an additional 20 € so you can then use the pq4 in combination with a PC without this tool and the additional 20 € is not possible with the Pico 4 whereas with the Quest 3 it is system-integrated is therefore a point on the Quest 3 Another important point is the comfort of a headset, this depends on the one hand on the pure weight but also on how the weight is distributed on your head. The headset protrudes far from the head because it has a large housing and a great weight possibly and if there is no counterweight on the back, one speaks of a high front-heaviness, which can be perceived as unpleasant after a certain playing time. I also always point out that there are of course subjective feelings that differ from one another, especially when it comes to comfort and I can't capture all of them here in this video, so let's first look at the net weights of the headsets and then I'll give you my assessment. In an interview by Andrew Bosworth, he announced that the Quest 3 will weigh roughly the Quest 2 the qu two weighs 5003 grams with headstrip of which we now assume at the point of the Quest 3 also the Pico 4 comes with 586 grams with headstrip therefore purely according to the weight for the Quest 3 but it is therefore more comfortable than the Pico 4 not necessarily very well balanced as you can see so really perfectly balanced the face case doesn't fit everyone so it doesn't suit me at all the plastic presses against my forehead hurts like hell after half an hour at the latest I have to put the thing down because it just hurts and the gas goes from ARM VR does n't help because unfortunately God doesn't replace it at the wrong end with me I can't moth the Pico 4 as much as I would like it to fit you then it's the class or it doesn't fit it then it's stupid with it comes the point it comes out because of the balloons on the Pico 4 even if I had to find out with my head shape that is both on the back of the head and on the face cover it started to be pressed relatively quickly but as I said it is a subjective feeling from me so point for the Pico 4 to increase the comfort of the Quest 3, similar to the Quest 2, there could also be the possibility of accessories such as headstrips from the meter itself or from third-party manufacturers that simply increase the comfort or the However, the head of technology at Meta Andrew Bosworth said in an interview that the modifiability of the Quest 3 was not the main focus during development, so the scope of the modifiability of the Meta Quest 3 is currently still unclear, but it seems very likely that the modifiability and a the resulting increase in comfort will be possible to the same extent as with the Quest 2 and for distant reasons because we do n't know anything more about this yet, we will let this point from the rating come next to the controllers, the Quest 3 will be with Touch Plus controllers without tracking ring but still delivered with infrared tracking. There is a touch haptic that can generate a differentiated and high-quality vibration pattern. A replaceable double A battery is expected to be used here. In the Pico 4 controller you can insert two double A batteries Buttons and the tracking rings are arranged somewhat differently than on the Quest 3 controllers if you ignore subjective elements such as the comfort of the controller we can't definitely judge the Quest 3 controllers anyway, but can assume that it will be similar to the Quest 2 controllers. The tracking and the vibration feedback are essentially the evaluation criteria, as I said, we still have empirical values for the Touch Plus controllers but not due to the combination of hand and controller tracking, the tracking quality should remain high due to the touch, in my opinion, the Touch Plus controllers have the edge in the end, but one has to say that both controllers are in the lead when it comes to the quality of the tracking and the feedback probably can't beat meter's touch pro controllers or psvr2 controllers but definitely a plus for the quest 3 controllers because of the points mentioned let's look at another important point and that is the meta ecosystem has made a notable achievement in this area by playing for years which has supported game development and bought up development teams the questor currently offers more than 500 games including many exclusive titles that we will probably never see on the Pico 4 such as Beats itself and alarmingly at the time of this video Pico doesn't seem to be able to provide updates and DLCs For example, Walkabout Minigolf on the Pico 4 only offers the eight standard courses and not the many great deals and that's not due to the player developers. They submitted the DLCs a long time ago, but Piko didn't publish them in the store. I hope together with all pico users on the mend and so this point is crystal clear like no other to the Quest 3 then we now come to the price comparison the prices are dependent on the selected memory equipment in addition all other technical specifications are the same for all models of the metaquest 3 is not yet on the market with the 128 gigabyte version but costs 5009 euros the Pico 4 with 256 GB costs 460 euros the Pico 4 with 128 gigabytes costs 389 euros the Quest 3 already delivers impressive specs and is of course ahead of the Pico 4 but how the distance is probably big, we'll take a look at it while the ratings run through the picture again and we can then judge which headset won in how many disciplines, in my opinion, the great strength of the Pico 4 is the resolution of 2160 x 2160, it already set standards in the previous generation of VR consoles and also lands a solid value with the current VR console generation, which was heralded by the psvr2 and the Quest 3, but the difference is no longer as great as in the previous VR console console generation and will hardly be noticeable compared to the Quest 3. In addition, the Pico 4 will not be able to calculate this resolution at all in standalone operation because the built-in chip is not able to calculate 2.2 cables for it with 90 frames per second, which is why it is always in calculate with a lower resolution and the whole thing is superscripted , which of course does n't look that great and doesn't do justice to the quality of the display either The picture can be changed to a much better quality. As a result, no more details come into play by default or the textures are improved, but it will look much sharper and better. The lead that Q4 still had in terms of resolution compared to the Quest 2 in PC VR Gaming is also no longer there you will also notice the significantly worse ecosystem in the standalone area of the Pico 4 and if you are not willing to pay more money to get started with virtual reality, there is even a cheaper way to get started with virtual reality at the time of this video than the Pico 4 namely the Quest 2 which costs up to 60 € less than the Pico 4 depending on the memory equipment, especially if you are not looking for a PC VR headset but a standalone device since what I think most people are allowed to be I recommend you my comparison video of Quest 2 to Pico 4 das get linked here in the endcard, otherwise there is a risk that you will buy a device that does not fit your specific area of application and in the standalone area, Meter Quest is simply miles ahead. Finally, in the PC VR area, Quest 3 and the Playing Pico 4 at eye level in terms of image quality in the area of standalone gaming, the Quest 3 is vastly superior to the Pico 4, and although the Pico 4 has not even been on the market for a year, I don't want to be the spoilsport that was to be expected, to be honest but probably still disappoint many users who euphorically bought a Pico 4 in the hope of having a super gaming machine for standalone via but what do you think write me in the comments I'm very excited to read you this one Liked the video or helped then leave me a thumbs up there on the right side you will find as promised my other comparison videos between exciting reality headsets the video on the left side again suggested by the almighty Youtube alcoholism thank you very much for your thumbs your comments and many many thanks also to my sponsors who support me financially and thus make videos like this possible in the first place
