Meta, Facebook's parent company has been making waves in the virtual reality (VR) industry with its Meta Quest lineup.
Now, rumors are swirling about the potential release of two new additions: the Meta Quest 3 Lite and the Meta Quest Pro 2. It might be overwhelming to talk about these 2 VR headsets so we will only focus on the latter.
While it's intriguing to see how it will perform, it's more intriguing to see if it can fare better than Apple Vision Pro.

Despite no official launch date, Meta Quest Pro 2 appears to be the best Apple Vision Pro 2 competitor in the future. Sooner or later, it could be the best VR headset in existence.
Following the lukewarm reception of the original Meta Quest Pro, Meta is looking to redeem itself with the Meta Quest Pro 2. With advancements in standalone VR technology and the emergence of high-end competitors like the Apple Vision Pro, the tech giant aims to regain its foothold in the premium VR market.
Boasting improved features and performance, the Meta Quest Pro 2 needs to overdeliver to fulfill its promise for fans who are longing to see its performance.
As TechRadar reports, the details about the Meta Quest Pro 2 remain speculative since we haven't heard a word from the VR headset maker. However, there are several features and specifications that fans are anticipating.
With OLED displays developed in partnership with LG, the Meta Quest Pro 2 is expected to offer vibrant colors and enhanced visual fidelity. Powered by the Snapdragon XR2 Plus Gen 2 chipset, this next-generation VR headset is poised to deliver impressive performance and responsiveness.
Additionally, the Meta Quest Pro 2 is rumored to feature full-color mixed reality capabilities, allowing users to seamlessly blend virtual and real-world environments.
With a focus on entertainment and productivity, Meta is also rumored to prioritize improvements in mixed reality passthrough technology, providing users with a more immersive and engaging VR experience.

The 'Quest' for Affordability and Accessibility
While high-end VR experiences like the Apple Vision Pro offer unmatched performance, they often come with a hefty price tag. Meta aims to strike a balance between performance and affordability with the Meta Quest Pro 2.
With an expected price point of around $2,000, Meta hopes to make premium VR more accessible to a broader audience without compromising on quality.
If Meta wants to take Apple Vision Pro out of the picture, it should surprise the customers with never-before-seen features that they can only see on Quest Pro 2.
Should Meta Delay Quest Pro 2's Release
People over Reddit are arguing if Meta needs to rush or delay the launch of Quest Pro 2 in the market.
In a previous Reddit thread, the original poster said that the company should delay its debut until it gets a better chip.
One person thought that the VR headset should have an advanced chipset such as XR2 Gen 2 to attract potential buyers.
Another wrote that Meta should not drop it by 2024 and take more time in its development. Previous rumors claimed that it would arrive in 2025.
Will Meta Quest 3 Lite Still Arrive
Despite the success of the Meta Quest 3, Meta seems poised to introduce a more budget-friendly option with the Meta Quest 3 Lite. This stripped-down version is rumored to offer a more accessible entry point into the world of VR, catering to a broader audience with its lower price point.
While details remain scarce, the Meta Quest 3 Lite could be Meta's answer to competing with other affordable VR options on the market.
