Supposedly, the Pimax Portal will ship with a heavily customized version of Android too, unsurprising considering the lack of VR features integrated within recent builds. Like the Quest 2, the Portal is said to support wireless display compatibility with PCs via HDMI or a 60 GHz WiGig connection. Meanwhile, the Portal will offer three interchangeable lenses when used as a VR headset with options for 20 pixels per degree (PPD), 27 PPD and 40 PPD with 140-degree, 100-degree and 60-degree FoVs, respectively. Furthermore, Pimax states that the headset supports eye, face, mouth and inside-out motion tracking with its proprietary wireless controllers.
Alternatively, the Portal can be paired with the Mini Station, a mini-PC equipped with the Ryzen 7 6800U and integrated Radeon 680M GPU, 1 TB of storage and 32 GB of RAM. Reputedly, the Mini Station will also feature a 56 Wh battery but can be paired with the Portal Dock for wired power and connection to a TV. Currently, Pimax has only revealed that the Portal and its accessories will reach Kickstarter ‘soon’ at the following prices:
- Pimax Portal (128 GB storage) – US$299
- Pimax Portal (256 GB storage) – US$399
- Pimax Portal View (VR headset/Tablet/Controllers) – US$449
- Pimax Portal (256 GB storage/QLED display) – US$549
- Pimax Portal View (with QLED display) – US$599
