Meta Quest 3 vs Meta Quest 2 : Which one ?
Meta Quest 3 vs Meta Quest 2 : Which one ?
A more powerful processor
With the success of the Quest 2, Meta had to offer an even more advanced, high-performance product. Meta and Qualcomm are partners in the integration of Snapdragon processors into the range's virtual reality headsets. The Meta Quest 3 is equipped with the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, which is significantly superior to the Quest 2, offering higher graphics fidelity and 2.5 times the processing speed of the Meta Quest 2. These performance enhancements will enable the creation of more immersive and realistic stand-alone virtual experiences. Gamers will be able to enjoy more detailed graphics, as well as improved overall power.
New screen resolution
The Meta Quest 3 offers a slightly higher screen resolution than the Quest 2, 2064 x 2208 pixels per eye versus 1832 x 1920 pixels per eye. This translates into slightly improved visual sharpness, from 17.6 pixels per degree on the Meta Quest 2 to 19.8 pixels per degree on the Meta Quest 3. However, the difference is minor and will only be perceptible to the most meticulous observers. In fact, the field of vision of both headsets is identical, at 97°. What really sets the two headsets apart is the quality of the graphics, which is enhanced by the Meta Quest 3's more powerful processor.
Ergonomics and comfort
In terms of dimensions and comfort, the Meta Quest 3 is 40% thinner and easier to wear. Bear in mind that the Meta Quest 2 is only 12 grams lighter, which is hardly noticeable. Weight is more evenly distributed on the user's head with the Meta Quest 3, but the differences seem slight, with a wide range of accessories available for both models on our site.
