Meta Quest 3S vs Meta Quest 3; What are the differences?
Meta Quest 3S vs Meta Quest 3: What's the difference?
A more affordable equivalent
With the success of the Meta Quest 3, Meta surprises us with a new mixed-reality headset, which establishes itself as the mid-range between the Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3. The Meta Quest 3S is equipped with the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor as the Quest 3, and features 8 GB RAM to maintain the same performance as its big brother. This retention of performance means that stand-alone virtual experiences are as immersive and realistic as ever. Gamers can continue to enjoy detailed graphics and unchanged overall power.
Modified screen resolution of the Meta Quest 3S
The Meta Quest 3S offers a lower screen resolution than the Meta Quest 3, at 1,832 x 1,920 pixels per eye, in exchange for a reduction in the product's price. The headset therefore retains the performance of the Meta Quest 3, but the visual quality of the Meta Quest 2. There's also a change in the lenses, with a return to Fresnel lenses compared with the Pancake lenses of the Quest 3. Meta nevertheless claims a 4.5-fold increase in resolution, for greater clarity and color compared with the Quest 2.
Ergonomics and comfort of the Meta Quest 3S
Weight and thickness The Quest 3S is slightly thicker than the Meta Quest 3 (11.6 mm thicker), making it slightly heavier at the front. However, it is actually a gram lighter than the Quest 3 (514 g vs. 515 g), but this difference is negligible in terms of overall comfort. In terms of facial interfaces: the Quest 3S features a facial interface called the “Breathable Facial Interface”, designed to offer greater comfort during long or intense sessions, particularly for users who engage in physical activity. However, this interface is not compatible with the Quest 3.

The two datasheets show that the Meta Quest 3S shares many features with the Meta Quest 3, making it Meta's most versatile and affordable version.
The team's opinion:
The Meta Quest 3S is presented as the new consumer version of virtual reality headsets, enabling a wider audience to try out mixed reality, while offering modern performance with unbeatable value for money. To take the experience to the next level, the Meta Quest 3S is the ideal headset for discovering virtual reality, with all the benefits of the Meta Quest 3 at a lower price. Depending on your budget and your level of virtual reality experience, if you're a beginner on a tight budget, the Meta Quest 3S is the perfect solution. Note that the Meta Quest 3S is available in two storage versions, 128GB or 256GB. If you're looking for performance and an enriched experience, the Meta Quest 3 will be the right choice, as it will only be available with 512GB of storage.
