Another Standalone headset with the same chip than the Play for Dream. So, same limitations to play PCVR (decoding limit of Adreno 740 is just 200Mbps for H265). So, it doesn´t matter how many pixels they put in the physical panel.

It doesn´t look it will support DisplayPort over USB-C.

Basically an Apple Vision Pro but in Android.

It is confirmed, it uses XR2+ gen2 chip, which same bottleneck than Quest3 for PCVR since no DisplayPort option is there. So same 200Mbps bandwith.

4K per eye with 29 million pixels, same resolution than Crystal Super but definetely it will not deliver same image quality.

Why Samsung doesn´t include a DP Alt Mode over USB like the standalone HTC Focus Vision.

And, why they don´t put the battery in the back side to compensate the weight? It is as simple as that!

As said before, with the same 200Mbps streaming PCVR bandwith it is like the PlayForDream headset, high definition 4K panels underutilized if used for PCVR.

The Quest3 offers same bandwith for one third of the price and with controllers.

As with the PlayForDream, I am not interested in try it.

If you count the $250 for the controllers, the Quest 3 is a quarter of the price.

one third of the price for one third of the rendered pixels (at 90Hz) ?
