Meta may have leaked the first look at its slim ‘Project Phoenix’ headset

Meta may have leaked the first images of its slim Project Phoenix headset shortly before the Meta Connect event on September 23rd. According to UploadVR, these images were discovered within the HorizonOS Prescription Lens firmware package. The design suggests Meta aims to compete with Xreal and Viture by focusing on lightweight, comfort-oriented mixed-reality devices. This strategic shift toward more portable AR technology could potentially redefine current industry standards and user expectations for future wearable hardware.
