We know that the company is preparing a relevant batch of announcements for the next edition of Meta Connect, which will take place on September 27.

Regarding technical aspects, we know that the lenses will be “pancake style”. Being smooth, it eliminates the diver effect that we had up to now. The muscle of this autonomous device will have the latest generation Snapdragon chip, capable of processing a higher graphic load at a higher resolution than up to now.

The controllers are also redesigned by removing the ring so characteristic of the latest versions while adding haptic feedback. On the other hand, we know that it will be 40% lighter than its predecessor without the facial interface.
