During Meta’s conference today, the company revealed the next headset. It’s the Meta Quest 3S, and it’s only $299.
This is the company’s answer to a cheaper version of the Quest 3. Like it, the Quest 3S will have the same mixed-reality options. However, it will have a narrower field of view and a different design. What’s cool here is you also get better battery life. Meta says the Quest 3S gets 2.5 hours of use, versus the 2.2 hours on the original.
The real differences here include a slightly larger headset, and it’s front senors look different. It also doesn’t have a depth sensor. The resolution is also lower, with only 1832 x 1920 per-eye.
If you are interested in pre-ordering, the Meta Quest 3S starts at $299.99 with 128GB and a 256GB model for $399.99.
Now is a great time to get into VR. It can offer great experiences, in terms of both social and gaming.
