Huawei Vision Rumored To Be An Upcoming Apple Vision Pro Competitor At Half The Price & Weight, Same Sony 4K micro-OLED, More
The mixed-reality headset market is rumored to add another member to the list called the Huawei Vision, as the former Chinese giant is said to take on the Apple Vision Pro with a future launch. To raise the bar and get more customers interested in picking up this head-mounted wearable, the rumor claims that there will be some similarities between the two products, but the Huawei Vision is not only said to be significantly lighter but sport half the price of the Apple Vision Pro.

The Huawei Vision is also said to feature 4K Sony micro-OLED panels, potentially delivering the same immersive experience as the Apple Vision Pro. On paper, both headsets appear similar in hardware specifications, but an in-depth comparison shows that this is not the case.

The rumor claims that Huawei intends to use its self-developed chips for the AR headset, but we do not see how the company will move beyond the Kirin 9000S.
The Chinese firm and its foundry partner, SMIC, are pushing towards 5nm chip production as early as later this year, but we do not believe that this technology will be ready in time for the Huawei Vision launch. The future Apple Vision Pro
