A dedicated, VR enthusiast, Webb is in the know about new budget meta-PC-based gearing. Photo leaks (not sure where they are from) point to “Meta Quest 3S“, which is a very unusual name without “Improved Edition” that is known for its letter “S”. While the latter is still priced at $299, it could be an excellent Mr. Hyde for the Meta Quest 2 that has been ruling the market lately.
Leaks suggest it goes for a chunkier look, resembling its predecessor – the bulky Quest 2 – as a way of keeping costs down. While the overall body is on the Oculus Go edge, it is, in fact, an older shape. So far, Meta has not publicly stated whether or not these leaks are true, but gossip about a 2024 launch suggests that the older Quest 2 will be removed entirely.
However, the leaked product image graphically highlights the area where not only are the power button and volume controls present but there are no lens adjustment features as their more expensive brothers have. Furthermore, reusing old lenses constantly raises suspicions about the lenses being recycled.
However, for VR followers like you, please rein in this statement! However, the validity of the leak is even less clear. The initial Reddit poster has now been removed, and the leaker declined to say whether he or anyone else “missed” or “never knew” that the face was still visible in the slides. You undoubtedly know the ultimate fake Valve Iskra fake. Upon being deceived, many of them were duped by a fake site being run to give the impression of an independent Valve headset.
Regardless of the veracity of this specific leak, one thing seems certain: MetaQuest 3 is Meta’s next product at a budget-friendly price. Originally a China-focused joint venture through a Tencent partnership, Quest 2 launched globally after a failed attempt to justify the purpose of its local release. Here’s the exciting fact – the Quest 3 series can retain the same powerful processor as its higher-price tag models, mixed reality color functionalities, and can move beyond the Quest 2 color limiting black and white limitations. Keeping the spirit of excitement intact, VR enthusiasts, the market for affordable VR is due for disruption from META!
Meta Quest 3 Lite may actually be “Meta Quest 3S”
u/LuffySanKira on Reddit claims they were shown these graphics in what was likely a Meta User Research Zoom meeting.
I can’t verify them, but I CAN verify Meta does feedback sessions like these. pic.twitter.com/DjkZnVMP6b
