The Valve Steam Frame’s launch price is $1060 USD for the 256GB model and $1300 for the 1TB model. Our review and benchmarks primarily compare the Valve Steam Frame vs. the Meta Quest 3 headsets, including sections on privacy and data security, latency benchmarks, thermal benchmarks from a comfort (worn) standpoint), battery life testing, charge time testing, software quality, bugs in software, camera quality comparison, control quality, foveated streaming, and more. These devices are complicated and we’re starting from scratch with our VR testing, as it’s been a long time, so we decided to lump it all into one huge technical review; however, VR is very subjective and personal, so we added a section for some subjective opinions from the team.
