The Meta Quest 3 is definitely the hot VR product right now, and it's not hard to see why. Thinner design, new lens tech, high resolution screen makes this a next gen headset, but the Pico 4 came with all of these 6 months earlier.

I've been using the Pico 4 and Quest 3 since they came out and experienced what they have to offer. In this video I'll show you which headset has the best quality screen, which is more powerful and which has the better VR library.
If you are trying to decide between the Quest 3 or the Pico 4 then this video should tell you everything you need to know.

QUEST 3 VS PICO 4
![10 Must-Try Meta Quest 3 Experiences [Non-Games]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/2Q-PpuPEqY0/mqdefault.jpg)
I had the Pico4 and switched to the Quest 3. But only because I play competitive sports games and I need the 120 hz and always fast updates). The Quest 3 is a bit better everywhere except for the price and the comfort (even with Elitestrap, because it's lighter and the weight is nicely distributed).
There are 3 groups I recommend the Pico 4 to
In PCVR they are almost on par (Quest 3 slightly better), but since the comfort and price is significantly better, I would go for the Pico 4 (+Virtual Desktop) for pure PCVR.
Pure sports gamers (unless you play competitively) will also have more fun with the Pico 4, due to the better comfort and because the graphics are second rate
And casual gamers who don't need a huge game library and have to watch their money when buying.
Ultimately, the Quest 3 is the better, more sophisticated headset and if money is no object, I would always choose it over the Pico 4. If it does, I would recommend the Pico 4 to the groups mentioned above.
i had quest 3 and after 2 months i sold it to a friend of mine. Then after a year i got Pico 4. I have it over a year now and i play allmost everyday. That means a lot.
You didn't buy extra straps for quest 3, do ya? xD
@@grzesiek9229 No unfortunally not cause i had it only 2 months!
Defos the best comparison video between the two headsets ive seen thus far. Feels like an honest and impartial review. Thumbs up!
As someone who used both, if you are someone who would use this mainly for pcvr, then no doubt just get pico 4. It is soo comfortable to wear for longer periods the games also look really good (quest 3 is slightly better but the difference is not that much). But if you want this to be a standalone. Go for quest 3, it has a huge library of games
I had pico 4 and only two times worked fine with virtual desktop...everything was set ok,5ghz wifi or cable connection but always had frame drops from 70 to 42 and i don't know why, so i returned it to amazon because of this and a problem to lenses that had glare right in the middle of them. But now amazon sell pico 4 at 370€ and quest 3 at 550€,i don't know what to buy... quest 3 has full body tracking without extra trackers needed.
@@mirkoguarino4913 i use pico 4 with streaming assistant instead of virtual desktop and it works fine for me. But yes, if you can afford meta quest 3, just go for it. I also suggest getting the elite strap and a battery bank since i feel like quest 3's battery life isnt that good.
I really miss my Pico-4. The comfort was so good. Meta should have taken some design cues from them and put the battery in the back and used less plastic.
That's why I kept the Pico4
Had pico 4 was pleasant to play. No issues with battery charging from strap. now with pico 5 being canceled I went for quest 3 and... BIG MISTAKE. Have issue with eye strain. NONE OF RUclipsRS or reviews mentioned about POOR BO. Binocular Overlap on quest is really bad. Pico is great. Think that no one ever mentioned.
Do your eyes hurt? because of which? binocular?
Meta is full of kids that ruin a lot of games
Why pico 5 was cancelled? lol I was about to change my mind and do savings to buy the pico headset
@@raf.nogueirathey want to rule the market so Samsung pico and even LG HTc are coming with there new vision pro like high end headset 🎉 so don't worry. Although i am excited about the Samsung headset because of they collaborated with google and LG for making vr
@@insanerajput9883 I'm really excited for this!, do you know if Samsung will bring any VR device this year ? Or should I just get the Quest 3 ?
the Screen resolution ion the Pico 4 is actually higher on one axis, and there are more pixels in total, so mileage may vary on which looks better to people :)
I bought my Quest 3 with the Elite Battery strap - and even though it's a significant price increase, I think it's essential. Or a cheaper AMVR strap that adds weight at the back.
I am testing P4 vs Q3. I wish P4 could have Q3 lenses. More FOV, more details, more brightness. But Q3 not comfortable, heave on front. Also P4 has horrible reflection from bright vs darker scene! I guess will return both and will keep P3. Unlucky there won't be PICO5 😕
The normal strap on the meta quest 3 works fine for me I usually just adjust the arms of the headset and it works fine for me
I upgraded from the quest 1 to Pico 4 a few months before the quest 3 came out. I only really use it for wireless PCVR, the only thing I purchased from their store was virtual desktop lol, but never regretted my decision.
Thanks 👍
If you use a Pico 4 with a PC hosting an RTX 4090 you can run everything on Steam VR, the experience is amazing. Especially with MSFS etc.
Quick question; I can see in the comments the Pico 4 is being discontinued, however I am starting to shoot 360 video content of bands and would like to know if you would recommend the Pico 4 just for viewing this? Not for gaming.
Yeah, a good and cheap way of viewing 360 content. Also it's not being discontinued they just aren't making a Pico 5
@@The360Guy Great thanks for that.
It's not being discontinued as far as i know, but the pico 5 got cancelled though
i wanted to ask... im a student, so i need a vr headset for my assignment, which related with game developments. so which headset you prefer is the best one for it?
I am also looking for answers
@@insanerajput9883 If you are able to code your own game like me (for example with free, open source software Godot 4, or not-so-free Unity), Pico4 is the best for the price. Also for consumers, if you play PCVR, it is good too. But Quests 2, 3 get sadly much more software in their stores and on SidequestVR.
On the other hand, a new game on Pico is way more noticed than on Meta.
It depends on your budget
I can play half life Alex on Pico 4 wireless with no issues ?
Yes you can with Virtual desktop, I played it myself. I think you can also use the free steam wireless.
i just sold my quest 2 for 200€ and bought a used pico 4 for 200€... nice upgrade... i only use pc vr anyway 🙂
Where did you get the used pico 4?
Nice Deal Bro👍
Hey! Is there a difference in compression?
@@przemoskyy1230 the pico 4 is better in many ways when it comes to pc vr
Have both and my winner is..... the Quest3! But that doesn't mean that I don't use the Pico4... it's great for gaming and watching movies as well.
Why is the Quest 3 beter in your eyes?
@@bullshark1152 It has the better picture quality in stand alone as well in PCVR, however in PC mode just slightly, to me hardly noticeable. And Meta has more and better games. Plus passthrough is in 3d.
FYI i play my steam library wirelessly via steam link to my PC with my quest
quest three is obvious winner, but pico 4 really isn't far off, the main benefit at least where i live is that there is a cheaper used market, i got my pico 4 near new condition for 220 USD, which an insane deal, but i have never seen such prices with the quest 3
How the pico get discontinued the day he drops this video?
i am that powerful
@@The360Guy🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Standalone software is the big one for me... and EVERYTHING looks barren compared to the Meta Quest family.
Even Apple Vision Pro looks weak by comparison when it comes to immersive experiences.
I like your earring
Still using pico 4...waiting for other version from pico
I had Pico 4 and the displays there were badly calibrated and had different contrast/brightness. It was quite a bad VR experience because in dark scenes i could see everything but only with one eye, while my second eye saw just a blackness.
The official support said it is totally fine lol. Not gonna buy anything from that company.
they want to rule the market so Samsung pico and even LG HTc are coming with there new vision pro like high end headset 🎉 so don't worry. Although i am excited about the Samsung headset because of they collaborated with google and LG for making vr😅
Pico isn't dispanding,there making a headset to rival apple's next year !
'Meta'-fanboys rumors! No official 'Bytedance'/Pico statement. 'Bytedance' dumped some employees, but 'Meta' and other IT-companies did that before too.
I have both, I absolutely loved my Pico 4, but the Quest 3 is better in a lot of ways and I find it hard to go back to it. Not least of those things is having a headphone socket, haha. Pico 4 is hugely more comfortable out of the box, but once you put an aftermarket strap on the Quest 3 (which you can't do with the Pico) it's a winner there too. I do, however, really, really miss the incredibly binocular overlap of the Pico, they really knocked it out of the park there. Visually for PCVR they are very close indeed, if I was looking for a headset purely for that, it would be a hard choice.
Just bought the Meta 2 and I can’t use it because of connection error. Sending it back.
Ugh, pico is so overpriced in my country...
Will be stuck with my quest 2. 😢
Amazon JP
Nobody cares about the tech inside .... if you play stand-alone VR, you might as well just not play at all... Never have I ever played a game on standalone VR... we are talking about graphics and images, you can't get that in the stand-alone game.... RIFT S in my opinion is really good, its light, no battery, no fans, its lightweight, it has an amazing head strap, and its on cable - no latency - best possible image... Obviously, the image is not as sharp and good as on Quest 3 but I think they should make another wired vr...
Pico fov is better
Pico got disbanded now..... Meta quest 3 back on top ...
Don't belive childish 'Meta'-fanboys talk! Pico got not 'disbanded'. And 'Meta' was always 80% of headsets. But still more ppl buy the Q2 for 300$, not the Q3 for $700 (need to add the price for a decent 'Strap' on both). The Q3 is a flop, like the 'Pro' before, will never reach the Q2-numbers because of bad headache 'strap', bad balancing, too small accumulator for the CPU, too expensive. Even the Pico4 has a slightly higher display, that darkens not like the Q3 on the borders. 😂
pico 4 is better then quest 3 and also 150 € cheaper lol
Bahahaha this aged well.
Pico was discontinued son.
Not 'discontinued' but there will be no Pico5 and 'Bytedance' dumped some employees, like 'Meta' and others IT-companies did before. The rest is 'Meta'-fanboys rumors playing the 'is death'-game to flatten a strong, partly better competitior. 'Meta'-fanboys should be happy that there are competitiors, else Meta will have no need to give good prices and development.
@@cyber_habanero did you write this extended reply with ur pinky up?
@@cyber_habanero bro is chinese pico fanboy to get +1000 credit
Noone should buy a pico now, it's discontinued and will lose all software support.
Anyone with a Pico sould sell it now before thay become almost worthless.
Thanks for the info!
Its not worthless. I use it for PCVR, i dont care about the store whatsoever. It is priced well for what it is. I am getting a Quest 3 soon and will use that for standalone and mixed VR. The Pico 4 is just really comfortable and the internal fan keeps it cool and stops me sweating buckets.
That is not true the Pico 4 is being supported and still in shops. The Pico 5 has been cancelled as they are looking at a vr to rival apple's that comes out soon.
@@Alecksander Don't belive childish 'Meta'-fanboys talk! But of course it depends where you want to use the Pico4 for: Pico has slightly higher display, is more comfortable, better balanced because accumulator is behind, and not so heavy like the Q3. Also for the Quest3 you need to buy and add the cost of the 'Elite Strap' unless you want to get headaches. So if you want to spend 200$ more then the Q3 has more Games at store and a depth-sensor, better CPU, but draining the power more faster, micro is also bad, no 256GB version, overpriced 512GB. And the diplay of the Q3 darkens on the borders. 😄
which software support? SteamVR will always work lol
Yeah meta is goateed
pico is worse I have a meta quest 3😂
