The new Meta Quest 3S (starting at $299) delivers a premium VR experience at an affordable cost. Like the Meta Quest 3, this device has excellent AR capabilities that overlay virtual elements over your surroundings. It also gives you access to the hundreds of games and apps available for the Quest 3. For what it offers, it’s one of the best VR headsets you can buy.
The Quest 3S packs several Quest 3 components, most notably, a Snapdragon XR2 Gen2 processor and 8GB of RAM. Because of that, the new headset has excellent performance when playing video games. And thanks to the variable 90 to 120Hz refresh rate, everything you see runs buttery smooth. Performance-wise, there’s no apparent difference between the Quest 3S and Quest 3.
