Multiple outlets report that images of Meta’s upcoming “Project Phoenix” mixed-reality headset have surfaced ahead of Meta Connect, slated for September 23. UploadVR says the images were found in a HorizonOS “Prescription Lens” firmware package, and Engadget describes the device shown in the images as a new form factor.
The reported design is notably slimmer than many current headsets, and the leaks position Project Phoenix as a device that could compete in the category of lighter mixed-reality displays sold by companies such as Xreal and Viture. Across the coverage, the main details focus on what the leaked images appear to show about the headset’s look rather than on confirmed specifications or pricing.
Because the images come from firmware packaging and have not been officially presented by Meta, outlets treat the information as unverified and subject to change. Still, the timing—just weeks before Meta Connect—frames the leak as an early preview of what Meta may announce at the event.
