First Look at Pico 4 Ultra: Does It Outshine the Quest 3? - UploadVR

Pico 4 Ultra Hands-On Impressions: Is It Really Better Than Quest 3?

Summary:

UploadVR recently provided a hands-on review of Pico 4 Ultra and the Pico Motion Trackers at ByteDance's launch event. Described as the first direct competitor to Meta Quest 3, Pico 4 Ultra boasts superior passthrough and multitasking capabilities, alongside longer battery life on paper. The headset will launch in Europe and several Asian countries on September 20, with preorders opening soon.

Key takeaways include:

  • Comfort: Pico 4 Ultra maintains a balanced design with the battery placed behind the rear head padding, making it lighter and more comfortable than Quest 3.
  • Passthrough: The passthrough is sharper with no double imaging, although it lacks depth and perspective correctness compared to Quest 3.
  • Multitasking: Pico OS supports multiple 2D windows simultaneously, similar to Apple's VisionOS and Meta's Horizon OS.
