HTC has officially introduced the Vive XR Elite, a new virtual and augmented reality headset. The XR Elite is, as expected, designed to compete with Meta’s Quest headsets and, reportedly, Apple’s AR/VR headset.

HTC Vive XR Elite introduced

HTC has set an ambitious price of $1,099 for the Vive XR Elite. The product, which is currently open for pre-order, will be brought to those who are waiting at the end of February. In addition, those who pre-order will get Green Hell VR​, Les Mills Bodycombat​, Unplugged: Air Guitar, Figmin XR​ and Glimpse games and content for free.

The Vive XR Elite is a product for consumers who want gaming, passive media, and productivity tools in a relatively lightweight package. The Vive XR Elite weighs in at 625 grams, making it heavier than the Meta Quest 2, but significantly lighter than the Quest Pro at 722 grams. This leaves the Quest Pro with mixed reality, which comes with color cameras and a depth sensor for additional situational awareness. Meta was originally going to offer this feature in Pro but had removed it from the product.

XR Elite features 2K pixel resolution per eye, 110-degree diagonal field of view, 90 Hz refresh rate, 12 GB RAM, 128 GB internal storage and Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 chip. In general, it is quite powerful in terms of hardware, but it is not groundbreaking either. However, the XR Elite has four wide-angle cameras capable of hand tracking and the dual motion controller found in the Vive Focus 3. It should be noted that the product also has a removable battery chamber and a headphone attachment.
