Meta has unveiled the latest addition to its lineup, the Meta Quest 3S, in line with previously released news. The key selling point is its reduced price of $299.99, while delivering performance comparable to the Meta Quest 3, making it a solid choice for those considering an upgrade from the Meta Quest and Meta Quest 2.
Equipped with the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, the Meta Quest 3S boasts the same Touch Plus controller. The main differences lie in the design of the front camera sensor, featuring a 3-hole setup. The display resolution has been slightly reduced to 1832×1920 pixels per eye, with a field of view of 96 degrees horizontally and 90 degrees vertically. The 4,324 mAH battery offers a runtime of up to 2.5 hours.
The Quest 3S starts at $299.99 for the 128GB model and $399.99 for the 256GB model, while the Quest 3 has been repriced with only the 512GB variant, dropping from $649.99 to $499.99. Pre-orders for these products are now available.
