Based on everything we know, the Quest 3S will boast the Quest 3’s Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset, but a bulkier body and lower-spec displays so it can target a lower price tag – hopefully, somewhere around the Meta Quest 2 ’s $299 / £299 / AU$479.

We see a controller that looks to be the same Touch Plus controller that is available with the Quest 3. It has been suggested that Meta might not ship the headset with the controllers to get to a lower price at retail, but based on this leak, it may come with the Touch Plus controller.

Photos of Meta Quest 3S have leaked ahead of its launch, and it will be following a controversial smartphone trend.

Keep in mind however, that the Meta Quest 3S is expected to use more energy than the Quest 2 thanks to the higher resolution colour passthrough. It also shouldn't need as much brightness as the Quest 3 though, opting for Fresnel lenses over pancake lenses. All in all, there's a good chance the battery will be similar to the Meta Quest 3.

A new leak regarding the upcoming Meta Quest 3S virtual reality headset indicates that it's missing a feature every other Quest includes.

VR headsets, smart glasses, and groundbreaking AR wearables are expected at Meta Connect 2024. Here's everything we know so far.
