While the Meta Quest 3 is cool, the star of the show is the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 to power future headsets.
Meta announced its next generation of VR headset with the Meta Quest 3 starting at $499.99 and releasing on October 10th. While the device is interesting, the new Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 under the hood powering this headset is even more fascinating and opens the door to more than just the Quest 3.
The Meta Quest 3 is a mixed reality headset with inside-out tracking and is powered by the brand new Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2, which we will cover more of in a moment, and is paired with 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. The Quest 3 also features pancake lenses in front of a 4K+ Infinite 90Hz display, enabling 2064×2208 pixels per eye and a 110-degree horizontal and 96-degree vertical FOV.
