Meta Launches Affordable Quest 3S to Replace Quest 2
Sep. 25, 2024Meta Quest 3S: Specs and Features
The Meta Quest 3S is oriented towards people who want a cheaper mixed reality experience. It features most of the upgrades and hardware specifications, that we got to see with the Meta Quest 3.
It includes Fresnel lenses with an overall narrower field of view and it also doesn’t have the 4K+ Infinite display of the Quest 3, so no 4K content on this one. Other than that, it packs all the upgrades we saw with the Meta Quest 3, including the same Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 chipset.
This allows the Quest 3S to be compatible with the entire AAA gaming library of its earlier model. Including the upcoming Batman: Arkham Shadows. It starts at 128 GB for the base variant replacing the base version of the Quest 3, however, the top variant maxes out at 256 GB of storage. But if that is still not enough for you, then you should get the Meta Quest 3.
The design has also undergone a slight change, with iPhone-esque camera lenses on each side. So it will not be compatible with all the Meta Quest 3 accessories. You will be able to use the Elite Strap, Elite Strap with Battery, the Carrying Case and the Compact Carrying Case, the Link cable, the Charging Dock, and the Active Straps.
