Based on some rumors and leaks that came from Meta itself and other sources, it is expected to see a Meta Quest 3S headset at a Meta Connect event. The headset seems like Quest 3 but with a bulkier body and a low-resolution display. A South Korean forum site, Arcalive, which is similar to Reddit, has exposed some images of the headset. The images show the headset from the front, top, bottom, and both sides. One of the images also shows its regulatory label, which reveals its battery capacity is rated at 16.74 Wh.
The view also confirms that it’s the first Meta headset to lack a 3.5mm headphone jack. This means to get higher quality and private audio without risking latency, Quest 3S owners will have to purchase USB-C audio solutions that do not support charging while playing.
One more rumor about the Meta Quest 3S is that the headset will be without a controller that will rely on the improvement of hand tracking. Moreover, some Chinese sites have also started to sell protective covers for the new headset with the camera cutouts.
The Quest 3S will probably cost less than the previous headsets and will be a great option for all because of its affordability. The Meta Quest 3S headset is also expected to offer more features and replace the Quest 2 and Quest 3.
