1. Best simplicity VR – Meta Quest 2

There is no doubt that Meta Quest 2 is the king of VR products. It is impeccable in terms of design, price, content, brand, etc. At the same time, Meta is the leader of all in one VR and stands out from the fierce competition of the earliest HTC VIVE, PS VR and XBox. As we all know, Meta is a company that relies on advertising to survive. It has always lacked a huge user hardware access, which is not as good as Apple, Sony and Microsoft. Therefore, Meta, it has always subsidized hardware prices to cultivate the number of users and usage habits. It can be said that one unit sold loses one unit. In the end, Meta could not afford to lose some money. The hardware price was increased by 100 dollars.

But even if the price rises, Quest 2 is still a cheap VR display.

Quest 2 is the standard product in the market, has strong competitors, such as Pico which belong to TikTok. Here is the comparsion among them:

The strongest VR all-in-one machine comparison review, Pico Neo 4 vs Meta Quest 2 vs Meta Quest Pro

The main features of Meta Quest 2:

Item	Value	Review
Resolution	binocular3664*1920	Just Normal. The latest resolution is 4320*2160 in Pico 4.
Display Tech	RGB Arrange LCD	Just Normal. LCD or OLED, which one is better?
Lens Tech	Fresnel	Pancake is better, Can be better. Hope Quest 3
Refresh Rate	120Hz	It’s Great!
FOV	101°	Can be better
PPD	21.9	Normal
IPD	58/63/68mm	Normal
Positioning Sensor	6-DoF	Enough to use
Weight	470g	Lighter is the eternal pursuit, Hope to be below 300g.
Chipset	Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2	Quest Pro use XR2+, Need Upgrade
Memory	6+64G/128G	For All in One design, 128G is better.
Battery Inside	3640mAh	Working time 2~3 hrs
Wireless	802.11 AX	It’s Great!

What can we do with Meta Quest 2? At least the following entertainment can be done:

• Watch movies/animations lying down
• Reading while lying down
• Streaming games enjoy large screen games
• VRChat
• Some extended play methods

Cons:

• It was really amazing at the beginning of the game, but it didn’t take long to find that the FOV was not enough. Of course, if you pay enough attention, you won’t notice the black edges around the screen.
• The resolution is almost interesting. It is already very high, but it still can not meet the demanding human eyes at close range.
• The thickness of the equipment can be improved a little, such as adopting the Pancake scheme

2. Best Controller VR – Meta Quest Pro

Quest Pro is the first product of Meta’s high-end equipment series, and carries a series of innovative functions, such as high-resolution sensors that can provide full-color mixed reality experience, high-definition LCD displays, new and fashionable designs, and eye tracking and face tracking. It is also Meta’s first Pancake VR. Quest Pro is not aimed at the general consumer market, but at the to B market, targeting Microsoft Hololens.

Quest Pro is actually a redesigned Quest 2 with additional functions. It uses a thinner lens, which makes it 40% thinner than Quest 2.

Quest Pro also uses the mobile Snapdragon chip XR2 Plus jointly developed by Meta and Qualcomm, which helps the device generate more advanced graphics. Meta said that the performance of XR2 Plus is 50% higher than that of XR2 on Quest 2.

Meta Quest Pro also improved the touch controller with embedded sensors for better hand tracking, and introduced new lenses to improve the reading experience.

Quest Pro’s motion controller has also been completely revamped. Meta’s old helmet uses an LED ring tracking controller on the top, while the new controller is equipped with a camera. This makes them smaller and less strange to look at. Meta replaces the controller’s AA battery with a built-in battery, which can be charged on the base together with the helmet.

This new helmet contains many hybrid reality functions, which can integrate the elements of virtual world and real world. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, once touted it as an important function to build a “meta universe”, which refers to the digital world that people can access through VR and AR (augmented reality) devices.

Quest Pro is basically an upgraded version of Quest 2, but it has a major disadvantage, that is, the battery life is reduced from two to three hours of Quest 2 to one to two hours. The battery life of the rechargeable controller should be longer than that of the helmet, but it still cannot be used for several weeks like the AA battery of Quest 2.

People can access some Microsoft applications through the Quest device, such as the team chat application Team, Microsoft 365 office software suite and Xbox cloud game service.

Let’s enjoy the video of Meta Quest Pro:

The main features of Meta Quest Pro:

Item	Value	Review
Resolution	monocular1920*1800	Lower than Quest 2, it is quite strange. Maybe Meta think the business user not care about it.
Display Tech	LCD and MiniLED Backlight	New display tech, need to be proved in the market.
Lens Tech	Pancake	It’s Great. Thinnest VR of Meta now.
Refresh Rate	120Hz	It’s Great!
FOV	106°	A little improvement of Quest 2.
Expression tracking (eyes and face)	Yes	First support, Which not support by Quest 2.
IPD	55~75mm, Continuous IPD	Better than Quest 2 which is Stepped IPD
Positioning Sensor	6-DoF	Enough to use
Controller tracking mode	Inside to out (need not be in the line of sight of the head display)	Strong than Quest 2 which the Controller must be in the line of sight of the head display.
Weight	722g	Too heavy.
Chipset	Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2+	It’s Great!
Memory	12G+256G	Quite improved from Quest 2
Battery Inside	20.58Wh	Working time 1~2 hrs, Flexible battery can be bent to further reduce thickness and improve wearing comfort
Wireless	802.11 AX	It’s Great!

Cons:

It is a little expensive. Currently, it is about $1499…

3. Best Battery VR – HTC Vive Pro Focus Plus

As we all know now, HTC has released the latest all-in-one VR HTC Focus 3. Before the release, HTC VIVE Pro Focus Plus has been the best All in One VR of HTC family for 3 years. If you are the tech fans who like HTC, and then like All in One VR, and want to buy the right product at a lower price, Plus is the best choice today, because it is 500 dollars cheaper than Focus 3.

Headworn equipment is the core equipment of HTC VIVE Pro Focus Plus. Its shape is fashionable and simple. The ivory/graphite gray coating and smooth body line design are full of modernity, which is very consistent with the aesthetic habits of modern people. The front end of the headworn device is equipped with two stereo camera lenses, which are cool in shape and very similar to the laser eyes in X-Men. Its main function is to let users perceive obstacles in front of them and avoid collisions, falls and other accidents.
It is worth mentioning that HTC VIVE Pro Focus Plus has made great efforts in terms of wearing comfort. The weight of the headworn device is less than 500g, and there will be no obvious sense of weight if it is worn for a long time. The facial pad is made of high elastic memory cotton, and the outer layer is covered with leather. The touch is very delicate and refreshing. The eye socket area will not feel hot and humid when the user wears it.
Each user’s head type is different. The rear bracket of HTC VIVE Pro Focus Plus headwear device is equipped with an adjustment knob, which allows users to adjust the length of the headband according to their head size, which is very convenient.
By wearing a six degree of freedom VR headwear device, the reality and the virtual are perfectly combined. In the virtual world, the handle is equivalent to a mouse, or a remote control handle, or a person’s hands in the real world. Through the handle, you can achieve all kinds of control functions, such as confirmation, application selection, video playback, skiing, boxing and other two handed control functions in the game.

The main features of HTC VIVE Pro Focus Plus:

Item	Value	Review
Resolution	binocular2880*1600	Not bad, not good, but better than Quest Pro
Display Tech	3K AMOLED	The visual effect is colorful and full of sense of presence.
Lens Tech	Fresnel	The new Fresnel lens greatly reduces the screen effect and further improves the overall imaging effect.
Refresh Rate	75Hz	A little low.
FOV	110°	Better than Quest 2.
Positioning Sensor	6-DoF, High precision 9 axis sensor, distance sensor	Enough to use
Weight	498g	Similar than Quest 2.
Chipset	Qualcomm Snapdragon 835	The flagship chip of the previous generation, but has been replaced by XR2
Memory	4G+32G. MicroSD expansion port, supporting up to 2TB MicroSD card.	Normal
Battery Inside	4hrs	Not clear about the quantity, but 4hrs working time is great.
Wireless	802.11 a/b/g/n/ac	Not support WIFI 6.

It is said that HTC VIVE Pro Focus Plus will stop production soon and will be replaced by HTC Focus 3. If users do not pursue the ultimate performance, now is the best time to start HTC VIVE Pro Focus Plus, because the price concessions are great.

4. Best Vision VR – HTC Focus 3

Faced with the strong attack of Meta’s Quest All in One VR series, especially the huge gap in price, HTC, as the former leader of VR, has been making efforts in PC VR and relying on HTC VIVE Pro Focus Plus to support all-in-one VR. After three years of research and development, HTC has re launched the Focus 3, a heavy all-in-one machine. Can it resist Quest 2?

The combination of mirror and matte gives VIVE Focus 3 an ultra-high color value. Unlike the all-in-one machine with white as the mainstream on the market at present, the VIVE Focus 3 uses a more calm black color with a sense of science and technology. The whole machine adopts a new appearance design, with an arc mirror panel embedded in the front, and four space detection sensors are integrated with the black frame. The built-in frame of the head display is made of magnesium aluminum alloy, which is 20% lighter and 500% stronger than plastic, increasing stability and making the overall weight of the head display lighter. However, although the mirror is beautiful, it is easy to become a fingerprint collector. Those who like cleaning need to pay more attention to cleaning.

VIVE Focus 3, equipped with Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon XR2 processor, 8GB operating memory, 5K resolution, 120 ° field of view angle and 90Hz refresh rate, has become the top VR all-in-one machine on the market, even catching up with mainstream PCVR head displays in some attributes.

The most important thing in VR devices is the display effect. VIVE Focus 3 uses a dual transparency design and two 2.88-inch LCD screens with Fresnel structure to reduce the distortion rate. The single eye resolution is 2448 x 2448 (dual eye resolution is 4896 x 2448). This resolution is the highest in the mainstream VR, worthy of being the king of technology. (Pimax Crystal also has higher resolution)

The main features of HTC Focus 3:

Item	Value	Review
Resolution	binocular4896*2448	Best!!!
Display Tech	Dual 2.88-inch LCD screen	Great Vision Effect.
Lens Tech	Fresnel	Not Pancake.
Refresh Rate	90Hz	Normal, little than Quest 2 and Quest Pro.
FOV	120°	Best!!
IPD	57~72mm	Normal
Positioning Sensor	6-DoF, High precision 9 axis sensor, distance sensor	Enough to use
Weight	785g	Too heavy.
Chipset	Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2	Better than Focus Plus
Memory	8G+128G, Supports up to 2TB microSD cards	It’s Great
Battery Inside	26.6Wh	Better than Meta Quest Pro
Wireless	802.11 AX, Bluetooth 5.2+BLE	It’s Great!

Just the Refresh Rate is lower than Meta Quest Pro, All of the other features is better! And the price is cheaper than Quest Pro, Why not to choose the HTC Focus 3?! Yes, it is the right time.

The launch of Focus 3 shows that HTC is still the king of VR, not only the PC VR, and the all-in-one VR is not weak.

5. Best Thinnest VR – Pico 4

For Meta, the biggest competitor may not be HTC, because HTC cannot compete in price. Maybe not Apple, because Apple’s products have not been launched yet. Microsoft’s main product is AR. Therefore, Meta’s competitor may be TikTok’s Pico, which has just launched a very competitive product Pico 4 and is also the first mainstream Pancake VR product.

Let’s take a look at the comparison review again:

The strongest VR all-in-one machine comparison review, Pico Neo 4 vs Meta Quest 2 vs Meta Quest Pro

Pico 4 vs Meta Quest 2 vs Meta Quest 2 Pro Features Comparsion Table:

Battery	5300mAh	3640mAh(2-3hrs)	1-2hrs
Launch Price	469USD	499USD	1499USD

Cons:

Mostly Pico only focus on the Chinese Market…

6. Best Connection VR – Lenovo VR700

Lenovo Rescuer VR700 VR all-in-one machine uses Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2, the flagship VR platform, and is equipped with 8G RAM and 256G ROM. The VR700 is equipped with a fast response LCD screen with a resolution up to 3664 * 1920, and supports a 72/90Hz high refresh rate.

The VR700 uses a complete 6DoF design to accurately identify body movements with millimeter level positioning accuracy, millisecond level initialization speed and millisecond level delay speed. In addition, the VR700 also supports wired and wireless streaming, and the built-in app is ready to use.

In terms of design, the VR700 adopts a hat style design, and carefully optimizes the front and rear weights. The official said that wearing it for a long time will not cause obvious drag. The wide and soft mask enables the viewing experience with glasses to be natural and comfortable.

The main features of Lenovo VR700:

Item	Value	Review
Resolution	binocular3664*1920	Normal, same as Quest 2
Display Tech	LCD	Normal, same as Quest 2
Lens Tech	Aspherical	Normal
Refresh Rate	90Hz	A little low.
FOV	93°	A little small.
Positioning Sensor	6DoF	Enough to use
Chipset	XR2	Great!
Memory	8G+256G	Great!
Connection	Support both Wired and Wireless	Good! Support Online, Mobile, PC Stream etc Three Connection Mode.

Looking at the parameters of VR700 repeatedly, there is nothing particularly outstanding, but there is also nothing particularly backward. The parameters are relatively balanced. If the price is appropriate, it is really worth trying. But I think it is not cheaper than Quest 2. So maybe it is only be sold in China again.

7. Best Optics VR – Pimax Crystal

Pimax Crystal is the innovation by Pimax, which can work in both all-in-one PC and PC VR modes. Powerful dual processor chips of Qualcomm XR2 and Pimax customized PCVR engine have consolidated their leading position in performance. The head display has four cameras, which can realize 6DOF tracking in wireless mode, and integrates advanced functions such as eye movement tracking and automatic pupil distance adjustment.

Crystal has achieved disruptive innovation in optics, greatly improving the clarity of the head display. The new head display is the first VR product that supports replaceable lenses. The user can adjust the definition and field angle by changing the lens, so as to meet the differential requirements of PPD and FOV in different scenes. Under the condition of keeping no image distortion from edge to edge, the highest pixel density can be achieved up to 42PPD. This parameter is also the highest angle resolution that has been achieved in the consumer VR head display known so far. The replaceable lens function supported by the head display also brings about the adjustment of the diopter, or enables myopic users within 700 ° to use the VR head display without wearing glasses.

Optically, Crystal uses glass aspheric lens to achieve higher light transmittance, further reduce stray light and achieve low distortion. The glass lens material replaces the resin material, which can increase the light transmittance of 85% – 90% that the resin lens can achieve to nearly 100%.

Crystal’s screen panel combines QLED and Mini LED technologies. QLED has a color gamut about 20% higher than traditional OLEDs. Mini LED provides a better black presentation, which makes colors richer and black more pure. The built-in HDR algorithm makes the color space more accurate and the contrast more comfortable, thus becoming the best VR head display that can’t be missed by video editors, graphic artists, engineers and game players. Even in wireless mode, the professional and consumer high resolution will not be affected.

The main features of Pimax Crystal:

Item	Value	Review
Resolution	binocular5760*2800	Best!!!
Display Tech	combines QLED and Mini LED	Best!!!
Lens Tech	Aspherical	Normal
Refresh Rate	160Hz	Best!!!
FOV	120/140°	Best!!!
IPD	58~72mm	Normal
PPD	42	Best!!! Double than Quest 2
Myopic matching	Below 700°	Best!!!
Positioning Sensor	6DoF, and integrates eye tracking, automatic pupil distance adjustment, etc	Enough to use
Camera Number	4	Good.
Chipset	Qualcomm XR2 and Pimax Customized PC VR Engine Dual Processor Chip	Great!
Battery	6000mAh	Best!!!
Connection	WiFi 6E and WiGig	Very Easy to use

In the past, we can think that HTC is the performance king of VR world, and all parameters are world leading. But when we see Pimax, we find that Pimax is a performance maniac, especially in Optics and processors. Another product of Pimax is Vision, and the FOV even reaches an amazing 200 °. What is this concept? The Fov of our human eyes is not so wide.

I can’t wait to own Pimax Crystal. I hope to be launched as soon as possible.

8. Best Cinema VR – Goovis Lite

Goovis is an alternative company. They believe that their products are not VR or AR, but Head Mounted Display, which is specially used for watching movies. It is a personal 3D mobile cinema.

GOOVIS Lites pushed the edge of the industry and took it to the next level. Using GOOVIS Lite you will see a taller, sharper, smoother image with more vivid details.

Goovis Lite does not work independently. From this point of view, it is not a real all-in-one machine, but with a dedicated wireless adapter, it is a all-in-one machine.

The main features of Goovis Lite:

Item	Value	Review
Resolution	monocular1920*1080	1080p, need to upgrade. The new Product G3 Max has support 4K
Display Tech	0.49″ Micro OLED	Normal
Lens Tech	Aspherical	Normal
Refresh Rate	60Hz	Basic Level
FOV	42°	Too small, But Goovis said it equivalent to a 600 inch screen 20 meters away.
PPD	53	Best!!! 2.5times than Quest 2.
IPD	56~72mm	Normal
Myopic matching	from +2D hyperopia to -7D myopia	Good.
Weight	200g	Lightest!!! Suitable for long time watching movie.

It can be seen from the above parameters that Lite has a high PPD, but a small FOV and Refresh Rate. This design also shows that this head display can only be used for watching movie, and is not suitable for playing immersive games.

9. Best and Latest Cinema VR – Goovis G3 Max

G3 Max is the latest product launched by goovis, and is an upgraded version of Lite and Pro.

The GOOVIS G3 Max High Altitude Conference made a stunning appearance, creating a HD head display benchmark with high image quality throughout the world.

G3 is a top class product in terms of 3D movie performance. Besides going to the cinema to see IMAX Hall or Dolby Hall, watching 3D movies with G3 is the best solution. Some experienced people said that the visual effect of G3 was irresistible.

Let’s see how much the performance parameters of G3 Max have improved:

	Goovis G3 Max	Goovis Lite	Goovis Pro
Resolution	monocular2560*1440	monocular1920*1080	monocular1920*1080
Display Tech	Micro OLED	2×0.49″ Micro OLED	2×0.71” Sony OLED
Refresh Rate	120Hz	60Hz	60Hz
FOV	65°	42°	53°
PPD	45	53	42
IPD	58~74mm	56~72mm	56~72mm
Myopic matching	from +2D hyperopia to -7D myopia	from +2D hyperopia to -7D myopia	from +3D hyperopia to -8D myopia
Weight	300g	200g	200g
Price Level	$1299	$499	$799

As can be seen from the above table, G3 Max has improved mainly in terms of resolution, FOV and refresh rate, that is, the image quality has been comprehensively upgraded to make it clearer, wider and more delicate.

10. Best Game VR – Sony PlayStation VR2

On the evening of November 2, Sony officially announced that it would launch PlayStation VR2 on February 22, 2023, and start pre ordering on November 15. Since Sony released the PS5 at the end of 2020, this late PS5 accessory product has finally ushered in an accurate release date.

As a VR accessory launched by Sony on the next generation of consoles, this generation of PS VR2 almost carries the expectations of all players and game developers. After all, VR has been deeply bound to games since its birth, but well-known VR games have not exploded as a result.

There is no doubt that Sony has devoted a lot of efforts to the PS VR2. The hardware configuration it brings is not only enough for the next generation, but also can undertake more complex VR games in the next few years. PS VR2 adopts OLED screen and provides single eye 2000 × 2040 resolution and 90hz/120hz refresh rate will support 4K HDR and 110 ° wide viewing angle, as well as central rendering technology. In addition, it is equipped with a six axis motion sensing system, including a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer, and an infrared sensor. At the same time, it is equipped with four cameras for earphones and controllers, while the infrared tracking camera will be used for eye tracking, which may bring eye control function.

In addition to games, PS VR2 also supports VR cinemas, which can watch VR game content or movies in a virtual environment at 360 degrees, supporting 4000 × HDR movie format for 2040 (Monocular 2000 × 2040), the frame rate is 90Hz/120Hz or 1920×1080 24Hz/60Hz/120Hz HDR.

The main features of Sony PlayStation VR2:

Item	Value	Review
Resolution	monocular2000*2040	Great!
Display Tech	OLED	Sony OLED is always great.
Lens Tech	Fresnel	Normal
Refresh Rate	90/120hz	Good.
