The new device, previously known as Project Cambria, comes with the headset, Meta Quest Touch Pro controllers, stylus tips, partial light blockers, and a charging dock.
The company shared the specifications of the new device:
- The first-ever device powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2+ platform
- 12GB of RAM

- Backwards compatible with the Meta Quest 2 catalog, so you can enjoy a wide range of VR games and experiences on day one
- Two LCD displays that use local dimming and quantum dot technology to provide richer and more vivid colors

- 37% more pixels per inch than Meta Quest 2
- Re-engineered Touch Pro controllers with sensors of their own for more accurate tracking and a full 360-degree range of motion, plus our new TruTouch Haptics system to provide a wider and more precise range of feedback, plus rechargeable batteries
