The latest batch of Pico 4S leaks includes a multitude of official-looking renders that have emerged over the past year.
Pictures originating from renowned tech leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer, alias OnLeaks, display the headset and its accompanying official carrying case from various vantage points, as reported by Android Headlines.
Here is the rewritten text:
The new headset boasts a visually identical design to the current Pico 4, except for the addition of two passthrough cameras at the front, replacing the single camera found in its predecessor. Although this was previously seen in a picture leaked on Chinese-language social media.
The leak follows closely on the heels of the company’s announcement of an upcoming product launch event set for August 20, which has generated significant buzz on social media platforms and appears to confirm speculation about the release of a novel virtual reality (VR) headset.
New photos shared on Chinese social media in late September reveal the introduction of ringless Pico controllers, a significant development in the tech world.
According to reports in December, ByteDance cancelled its Pico 5 project due to disappointing gross sales of Pico 4, which “fell short” of their expectations; instead, the company plans to release an updated version of Pico 4.
In March, Pico trademarked “Pico 4S”, and images of ringless “4S” controllers were uncovered within the Pico Join PC VR streaming application.
The leak of precise specifications emerged in June through a Geekbench result hinting at its likely utilization of the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset as Meta Quest 3, albeit paired with 12GB of RAM, a notable upgrade from the 8GB featured on Quest 3.
Just a fortnight or so after, South Korea’s Nationwide Radio Analysis Company licensed a cutting-edge Pico headset. The submission reveals that the headset boasts 6GHz Wi-Fi capabilities, effectively supporting Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 protocols.
As we move forward, we will continue to closely monitor Pico’s activity over the next few weeks for any further hints or leaks regarding their planned announcements, and provide comprehensive coverage of their August 20 event as it unfolds.
