Meta Quest 3 vs Meta Quest 3s

Meta is gearing up to launch the Meta Quest 3S, a mixed-reality headset that promises similar performance to the Meta Quest 3 but at a more budget-friendly price. The Quest 3 is priced at $499 for the 128GB model and $649 for the 512GB version, while leaks suggest the Quest 3S could start at $299 with 128GB storage. 
Both headsets will share access to the same extensive library of games and apps, ensuring no divide in content quality. However, the Quest 3S will likely feature some compromises in visual specs and optics, such as using fresnel lenses instead of the superior pancake lenses found in the Quest 3, which could impact image clarity.

Key differences include:

- Design: The Quest 3 is slimmer and features a more refined design with improved audio capabilities.
  
- Optics: The Quest 3 utilizes advanced pancake lenses for better visuals, while the Quest 3S may revert to fresnel lenses.

- Controls: The Quest 3S might ship without controllers, relying on hand tracking, although it will be compatible with the new Touch Plus controllers.

The expected unveiling at Meta Connect 2024 could lead to a rollout in October, making this an exciting option for VR enthusiasts looking for a more affordable entry into mixed reality.
