Pico 4 is a standalone VR headset with impressive specifications and optics that is competing directly with Meta Quest 2, currently the most popular standalone VR headset. I’ve been using the Quest 2 since shortly after it was launched, and I bought Pico 4 on day one of release so I could put it through its paces and compare the two headsets side by side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve had a chance to thoroughly test and compare the Pico 4 and Quest 2 and this article shares my hands-on impressions of both so you can pick the best one for you.<\/p>\n\n\n
Pico 4 has upgraded hardware compared to Quest 2, particularly in terms of screen resolution, FOV, optics, and the passthrough camera. The visuals are noticeably more impressive, particularly when playing PC VR content wirelessly or via USB cable. However, Quest 2 has a larger app and game library, more refined software, and a more polished UI.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don’t already own the Quest 2 and are looking for a great standalone VR headset that can also be used for PC VR, then I think the Pico 4 is an excellent choice. If you already own the Quest 2, it is probably not worth upgrading to the Pico 4, unless you use your Quest 2 for a lot of PC VR content, where you will really appreciate the step up in visual quality and FOV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we go further, let’s take a look a the specifications of both headsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpecs Comparison: Quest 2 Vs Pico 4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
