Is Quest 3 actually better?

Vrsumo2017 And this shit does suck at charging while using it, it freaking drains while plugged in and i was watching videos.

As long as you use the original power block and a full speed cable it will maintain the battery power. I bought some of the magnetic charging leads from Magnilink to save constantly plugging/unplugging. They’re pretty sweet 👍.

Jeff777LUFC I'll try that, thanks 🥂👍

Short answer...

YES!

Sold Pico 4 and got my Quest 3 this week. Will probably send it back to Amazon because one of the controllers is messed up (squeaky and mushy buttons). Honestly, I was just curious about Q3 and I didn't see a reason to hold onto the Pico 4 for much longer, hoping Pico 5 is released next year.

PQ, SDE, sweet spot, system performance (8K playback, scrubbing speed), FOV ... all this seems about the same.

Pico 4: much better comfort with the stock accessories and for me also better passthrough (unreadable phone and warping on Q3 PT)

Quest 3: much better app store - all essential apps and for those who care - much better game selection, including mixed reality. Also wireless PCVR works great even without Virtual Desktop.

czperv123 for me also better passthrough

Really?, see I think my pico never got that pass through update cuz mine to grainy especially in the low light. also my real environment looks slightly bigger then normal, in q3 the pt is still grainy but looks better and works way better then the pico 4, it works better in low light, and in low light if turn your contrast down alot and turn the brightness down you can mess with it to match your dim room, also im able to use colored light and match the image to the color. so for me q3 pt is way better. But I still use my pico 4 tho, i love that thang 👍

VirtualDesktop is a mandatory purchase, which Brad onwed
Brad has upgraded his strap
Brad lives in Florida, where there's lots of light, so passthrough looks better
There are reflections on some devices, so it's hit or miss if you get a good one.

That should be a feature in DeoVR! "Low light PT" - adjusting the video to be grainy and darker to match the environment. Not joking... could really help with immersion which for me doesn't work at all due to the difference in video vs. real environment visuals.

I just expected better camera quality from Q3 since it was released a year later after Pico 4. That's why I'm excited about the upcoming Pico 5 headsets, hoping they'll set a new standard for PT again.

My two cents. If you get a defective Q3 then it's worse than any Q2. The first Q3 I returned had so many problems it was practically a scam. If you get a Q3 without problems it's a big step up from a Q2 without problems. Like going from Google Cardboard to Q2 almost. I don't use passthrough except when leaving boundary so I can't comment on how good it is. Make sure to check the IPD setting when you turn it back on because it's easy to accidentally roll it to a different setting if you store the Q3 facing forward.

Nevertheless, I would recommend the device to friends. I wouldn't have recommended Quest 2. Depending on your Android phone, you could have a better experience with GearVR or even Cardboard. Quest 3 is a useable and useful device, not a gaming PC accessory like its predecessor...

Unless you live near the earth's poles there is lots of light everywhere

czperv123 you can just get a 6500k 50/100w led flood light. Problem solved, no more grainy passthrough. They are only 20 bucks or something.

Hopefully in the future we will get headsets that copes better with low light scenarios though

Man, does yall face guard on quest 3 keep coming off by the nose curve? Seems like everyday i have push it in.

Also since there a Lil button by the battery cover it kinda feels flimsy sometimes.

This all normal for yall too?

And my pass through works good, better then the pico but I be seeing videos where people's pass through looks better then mine in low light.

It cuz we really can't see that grain in the videos?

Smh 🤦‍♂️

I'm cool with the q3 I like it, but I be thinking about these issues with it. Smh 🤦‍♂️

After using Quest 2 for I think almost 2 years, and now having used Quest 3 for about a couple weeks now, I really can't tell much of a difference, if any. I download to PC and stream over wifi with Skybox, same as I did on Q2. I also don't really care for passthrough, doesn't feel more immersive to me, just less. While I am not going to return it, I would have preferred not spending $500 on it. I do regret it a little bit. I'd personally tell anyone thinking of getting Q3 that currently has a Q2 to just not bother. I'll probably feel different once I start playing VR games again though.

Man I took mine back cuz the right controller kept making this clicking noise by the battery cover got annoying, now ima take this new one back cuz on the outer sides of the lense I notice like a shaded area and it makes the sides look shaded like a white wall will look grey-ish due to the shaded area, also every time I move in pass through its gets dim and brights back up, smh should of just kept my other one 🤦‍♂️ I didn't notice any of this shit on my first one. Smh , also on the left lense on the right I can see the frame and its real noticeable, idk if thats the binocular overlap yall talking about but on my other one that wasn't noticeable or as noticeable just looking straight out, ffs man, my other q3 the frames were good but I had to pull out the face guard to max to get a nice circle frame. Hopefully this third one will be better. Third times the charm. 🤷‍♂️

Fucking meta 😒

Hey have yall tried getting a flashlight and shine it on top, it's weird cuz light gets threw around the arm areas. 🤦‍♂️

Vrsumo2017 Smh , also on the left lense on the right I can see the frame and its real noticeable, idk if thats the binocular overlap yall talking about

This 3rd q3 its less noticeable 👍
So if you think you have to much binocular overlap might wanna take it back, cuz that shit was annoying on my second q3, it was very noticeable.

Vrsumo2017 on the outer sides of the lense I notice like a shaded area and it makes the sides look shaded like a white wall will look grey-ish due to the shaded area

It's there but less noticeable, you have to really look for it, my last one my 2nd q3 omg it was like I had a blurry shadowy spot to my lower right of the frame, maybe my first q3 had it too but I never noticed it.

Pass through seems about the same, when u move its grainger but focuses when u stop moving, my first q3 did the same.

Smh, controllers feel better, not flimsy around the battery cover like my first q3. 👍

Looks good sofar. 👍

Vrsumo2017

Vrsumo2017 Hopefully this third one will be better. Third times the charm

Update
Got threw a long session, went threw a few videos, regular and pt and it was smooth, didn't notice anything, no shadowy spot, lens looked good like a good circle. And controllers haven't felt flemsy around the battery cover. I'm happy with this third q3 so far 👍

Vrsumo2017

Got the third one, hopefully this works out good 🤞🙏

Hey, if anyone still thinking about buying q3 get it at bestbuy, right now returns are available untill January cuz of the holidays. Also if u get
The warranty they'll give store credit to buy another one, but you'll have to buy the Warranty again.

I turned in my q2 and got the store credit and put it towards q3. 👍

Idk why anyone would order it from meta or Amazon if u got a bestbuy available. 🤷‍♂️

Vrsumo2017

Smh check this out

The last two headsets did not have this blue cover.

Man these headset should all be identical and work all the same. Smh 🤦‍♂️
