Quest 3S Is $250 From Amazon & Walmart Today, $50 Off

Wondering whether you should opt for a Quest 3 or a Quest 3S?

Quest 3S is Meta’s budget headset option. It has all the same VR and mixed reality capabilities of Quest 3, and has the same chipset and RAM inside, but it uses older, lower-quality fresnel lenses that aren’t fully adjustable, so may not be suitable for everyone’s eyes.

Quest 3, on the other hand, uses Meta’s advanced pancake lenses. They’re clearer, sharper, wider, and fully horizontally adjustable, suitable for everyone’s eyes. These pancake lenses also enable Quest 3 to be thinner, which makes the headset feel less heavy.

Quest 3 also has 512GB storage, whereas Quest 3S is only available in 128GB or 256GB.

If you have the funds, you should always pick Quest 3. But if you don’t, Quest 3S can still run all the same content.
