The PICO 4 VR headsets with a 4K+ screen and 90Hz refresh rate have been unveiled in China. The new virtual reality headsets are incredibly thin and light. The PICO 4 weighs about 295g without its strap and batteries, which is significantly lighter than some of the common models on the market.
The PICO 4 lineup of VR headsets comes with a balancing design that reduces the pressure on the face when wearing the device. The rear battery compartment and anti-slip PU leather mean that the PICO 4 can be worn for extended periods without stress. The device runs on the Snapdragon XR 2 platform with two 2.56-inch screens. The screens support binocular resolution up to 4K+ and a maximum pixel density of 1200.
The new series of VR headsets have a Pancake optical path design and an optical resolution of 85.7%. The PICO 4 squares up nicely with the Neo 3 across several areas. It has a maximum field view of 105º with support for step-less electric interpupillary distance adjustment.
The PICO 4 has a 16MP RGB camera which provides a more picturesque view of the real world. There are four environmental tracking cameras on the fuselage which are precision cameras. The device features the HyperSense vibration handle and is equipped with a 50-500Hz broadband linear motor. The new SuperSkin foam of the VR headset closely fits with the user’s face and absorbs sweat for a more exciting user experience.
The PICO 4 has a 5,300mAh battery that can deliver up to three hours of usage and it is built into the back strap of the headset. The device comes with the PICO OS 5.0 operating system with several impressive features and a rich collection of VR applications.
The models are available as 8GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, and 8GB+512GB options. Their prices are 2,499 yuan (~$347), 2,799 yuan (~$389) for the PICO 4, and 3,799 yuan (~$528) for the PICO 4 Pro VR headset. The top model in the lineup is the PICO 4 Pro which is expected to arrive later in the year.
