Source: varjo.com (verified 2026-07-10) · corroborated by roadtovr.com. Varjo's official XR-4 Series product page confirms the base XR-4: 3840 x 3744 per-eye mini-LED displays, 120° × 105° FOV, 200 hertz eye tracking, dual 20 MP passthrough cameras, inside-out plus optional SteamVR tracking, and PC-tethered operation (Windows + NVIDIA GPU, so not standalone; no internal storage). Road to VR's dated announcement/spec article (Nov 27, 2023) corroborates the 90Hz refresh rate and 665g headset weight, and explicitly separates the $4,000 standard XR-4 (33 PPD passthrough) from the $10,000 Focal Edition (51 PPD auto-focus), confirming this entry is the base XR-4 and not the Focal or Secure variant. Road to VR states the XR-4 "will begin shipping by the end of 2023," which sets release to 2023-12.
