Meta (recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation and banned) The affordable mixed reality headset Quest 3S is introduced.
The new product is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip, like the older model. In addition, it received the same controllers. However, in terms of dimensions, the Quest 3 turned out to be slightly larger, but this did not affect the ease of use.
Unlike the Quest 3, the Quest 3S does not have directional sensors. The viewing angle (96 by 90 degrees) is slightly smaller (110 by 96 degrees). There is a special button for switching image modes.


The image resolution on each eye is 1832×1920 pixels, like in Meta Quest 2. The helmet works for about 2.5 hours without recharging.
Pre-orders are already open. The Meta Quest 3 is scheduled to go on sale on October 15. The new product costs $299.99 for the 128 GB version, $399.99 for 256 GB, and $499.99 for the 512 GB model. For comparison, the Apple Vision Pro will cost you $3,500. [The Verge]
