Pico recommends that Pico 4 buyers not cancel pre-orders placed with Pico distributor shops (three online sales sites in France), knowing that these will be served first when restocking the headset. As a reminder, the Pico 4 created a surprise during its presentation in mid-September, the technical sheet of the headset far exceeding what we were entitled to expect for a device offered at a base price of 425 euros.
Large Pancake lenses, front panel weighing no more than 300 grams, definition of 2160 x 2160 pixels, vertical and horizontal FoV of 102 degrees, camera pass-through color and 16 megapixels, joysticks with raised hoops, XR2 processor operating at full clock speed, nice design, the Pico 4 is a concentrate of technologies at an ultra competitive price. Faced with a more expensive and less well-equipped Meta Quest 2, it was almost certain that the deal might change in Europe (the Pico 4 is not sold in the USA).
