Last year, Chinese VR company, Pico, released the Goblin 2 standalone VR headset with a 3K display. It has now followed it up with the Pico G2 4K headset, which as the name says has a 4K display.
While the display is sharper and there have been some changes in the design, some things have remained the same. It is still powered by a Snapdragon 835 processor and it comes with 4GB of RAM and 32GB UFS 2.1 storage. There is a MicroSD card slot for up to 256GB of extra space. It runs Android 8.1 Oreo and packs a 3,500mAh battery that charges via a USB type-C port and should last up to 3 hours on a single charge. The 5.5-inch 4K display has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 and a PPI of 818. It uses a modified Fresnel lens to control edge distortion.
The Pico G2 4K now comes in black but keeps the battery at the back of the strap for better weight distribution. The strap is adjustable and the headset can be worn with prescription glasses. It also has a 3DoF controller that comes in the same matching color.
The VR headset has a dual-platform store. There is the Pico Store and the VIVEPORT store, so you should have a wide variety of apps to choose from. It also supports casting to screen so others can watch you play.
