Meta is expected to announce the Quest 3S soon. We compare the already available Quest 3 to Meta's expected VR headset.

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.

Meta Connect will air Sept. 25 and 26 from the stage at the company’s headquarters in Menlo Park, California. Meta will (hopefully) reveal exact timing for the event by next week. You can watch it via Facebook or, if you’re all-in on Meta’s vision, through the Horizon Worlds app on a Meta Quest headset.

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.

Meta has leaked an image of the supposed Quest 3S via an update to its PC software, showing off what is likely the upcoming cheaper alternative to Quest 3. As first spotted by Reddit user ‘Gary_the_mememachine‘,

Meta will likely announce its new Quest 3S headset in a little over a week at Meta Connect, but that hasn't stopped leakers from giving us early info.

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