Huawei’s Vision Pro rival rumored to be nearly half the weight and half the price،
Like the Apple Vision Pro, the Huawei Vision will be equipped with Sony 4K micro-OLED panels. There will be significant differences between the two headsets, as Huawei's will not have functionality similar to Apple's EyeSight, which allows those near a VisionPro the user to see a representation of their eyes. And while Huawei managed to shock the world by launching the Mate 60 series last August with its first 5G chip since 2020, Apple VisionPro will inevitably have a huge advantage in terms of performance with its M2 and R1 chips.

The current rumor is that Huawei will rely on its own chips (likely developed by its HiSilicon semiconductor unit), although it is difficult to see how Huawei will be able to obtain cutting-edge chips. China's largest foundry, SMIC, is unable to obtain an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine due to US sanctions and the tool is needed to produce cutting-edge SoCs. Nonetheless, SMIC will reportedly be able to produce 5nm chips for Huawei later this year using its deep ultraviolet lithography machines it currently owns.
How Huawei manages to get the chips needed to make Huawei Vision a VisionPro “rival” will probably make for an interesting story once the word becomes known. But for now, Huawei is reportedly close to offering its own space computer that's nearly half the weight and expected to cost half the price of this one. VisionPro. At an expected price of around $1,750, if it turns out to be half as efficient as Apple's VisionProHuawei may be onto something.
