It adopts many of the same features of the Quest 3, like the new Touch controllers, the upgraded SnapDragon APU, and full color AR passthrough.

That&#8217;s not a small amount, considering that price difference is 40% of the cost of the Quest 3S, but in my opinion it&#8217;s worth it. The spec comparisons are listed below:<\/p>\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">Quest 3S vs. Quest 3 <u>Similarities<\/u><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor<\/li>\n<li>Touch Plus controllers<\/li>\n<li>120Hz refresh rate<\/li>\n<li>Mixed reality passthrough (same cameras, different layout)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">Quest 3S vs. Quest 3 <u>Differences<\/u><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Lower per-eye resolution (1832&#215;1920 vs 2064\u00d72208)<\/li>\n<li>Fresnel lens vs. pancake lens<\/li>\n<li>Lower FOV (96\u00b0\/90\u00b0 vs 104\u00b0\/96\u00b0)<\/li>\n<li>Smaller storage capacity (128GB vs 512GB)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Longer<\/strong> battery life (2.5hrs vs 2.2hrs)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In essence, the Quest 3S has very similar internals, and the same Touch controllers, but with downgraded optics. That&#8217;s more significant than it reads on paper. How much enjoyment you get from VR headset is largely determined by the visual quality of the display. If the image that you see is blurry, or distorted, it takes you out of the immersion.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In his <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/meta-quest-3-review\">Quest 3 review<\/a>, Eric Song (yes that&#8217;s me!) wrote that &#8220;The Quest 3 continues Meta\u2019s legacy of offering a cost-effective headset that doesn\u2019t require an expensive gaming PC, but can still benefit from one if you have it. That\u2019s a unique feature that sets it apart from almost every other VR headset out there, other than its own predecessors. The sheer amount of upgrades are well worth the $200 generational price increase. For everyone else is willing to make the splurge, the Quest 3 sets the new standard for VR and mixed reality gaming.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-1339469126 jsx-1178573261 box jsx-525414596\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Why Should You Trust IGN&#8217;s Deals Team?<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">IGN&#8217;s deals team has a combined 30+ years of experience finding the best discounts in gaming, tech, and just about every other category.
