Quest 3 Resolution Seemingly Confirmed By Best Buy Listing

Quest 3 is now listed on Best Buy, and the description may confirm its rumored resolution.

Quest 3 was officially announced earlier this month. Meta hasn’t yet detailed the full specifications, but said the visor is 40% thinner thanks to pancake lenses, the GPU is more than twice as powerful, and it has dual 4 megapixel color cameras and a depth sensor for scene understanding and mixed reality.

Meta also revealed its new Touch Plus controllers, and explained how they’re tracked without rings or onboard cameras.

Meta said Quest 3 will have its “highest resolution display yet”, but didn’t say the exact display type nor resolution.

But almost one year ago, Quest firmware dataminer Samulia discovered a headset codenamed ‘Eureka865’ in the Quest firmware with a single 120Hz 4128×2208 LCD panel, equating to 2064×2208 per eye.

When Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported trying out a Quest 3 developer kit last month, he said the headset was codenamed ‘Eureka’.

The Best Buy listing for Quest 3 that appeared today states it has “a nearly 30% leap in resolution from Quest 2”. What’s interesting about that number is that the datamined 2064×2208 figure is exactly 29.6% more pixels than 1832×1920, Quest 2’s resolution per eye.

This would seem to confirm Quest 3’s resolution as 2064×2208 per eye. And given the datamined resolution seems correct, that could suggest the 120Hz refresh rate is accurate too.

Full details of Quest 3 should be officially confirmed at Connect 2023 on September 27.
