Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2 Gen 3-based chipset built for mixed-reality headsets and smart glasses, handling on-device AI and graphics processing.
Meta VR Glasses go on sale in Spring 2027 at $1,300 with the densest display the company has shipped, a horizontal view 40 degrees narrower than Quest 3's, and no controllers included in the box.

Xreal opened preorders for Google's Aura glasses at $1,279, $20 under Meta's VR Glasses. Both run the same Snapdragon chip in a corded puck, so the purchase comes down to an app library and a lens type more than a 1.5% price gap.

Meta's VR glasses weigh 100 grams to the Quest 3's 515 and run the full Quest catalog off a phone-sized compute puck, Gizmodo reports. XR teams keep their Quest apps but now have to design for a 70-degree field of view and for input by hand and eye.

Meta's spring launch price of $1,299 puts 100 grams on the face and a 300-gram compute puck on a cable, and the published evidence for wearing it through a working day is one 30-minute hands-on by PCMag.

Meta's new VR Glasses leave the display and sensors on the face and move the processor, the memory and the battery onto a wired puck in the pocket. The Verge tried them at Meta's campus this week.
