Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2

The Meta Quest 3S is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 platform.

It uses the same core chipset and 8GB of RAM as the Quest 3, providing enough performance to run current Quest 3S/Quest 3-compatible standalone VR and mixed-reality experiences.

Compared with the older Quest 2 generation, the XR2 Gen 2 provides substantially improved graphics and processing capabilities.

128GB Internal Storage

This version includes:

128GB Internal Storage

Storage is used for:

• VR Games
• Mixed Reality Games
• Applications
• Downloadable Content
• Media
• Offline Content
• System Files

Available usable storage will be lower than the advertised 128GB because part of the capacity is required by the operating system and system files.

High-Resolution LCD Display

Quest 3S uses an LCD display with:

1832 × 1920 pixels per eye

Display Specifications

• Display Type: LCD
• Resolution Per Eye: 1832 × 1920
• Pixel Density: Approx. 20 PPD
• Maximum Refresh Rate: 120Hz
• Horizontal FOV: Approx. 96°
• Vertical FOV: Approx. 90°

Up to 120Hz Refresh Rate

The Quest 3S supports multiple display refresh rates depending on the application and system configuration.

Supported modes include:

• 72Hz
• 90Hz
• 120Hz

A higher refresh rate can provide smoother motion in compatible VR applications.

Fresnel Optics

Unlike the more expensive Quest 3, which uses pancake optics, the Quest 3S uses Fresnel lenses.

The Quest 3S provides three preset lens/IPD positions rather than the continuous IPD adjustment found on Quest 3.

This is one of the key differences between Quest 3S and Quest 3.

Full-Color Mixed Reality Passthrough

The Quest 3S isn't limited to fully immersive VR.

Its full-color stereoscopic passthrough system allows users to see their physical surroundings and combine real-world spaces with virtual content.

Meta specifies:

• Color Stereoscopic Passthrough
• 4MP RGB Cameras
• Approx. 18 PPD Passthrough Fidelity

This enables supported mixed-reality games and applications to interact with the user's physical environment.

VR + Mixed Reality

Quest 3S supports both:

Virtual Reality

The physical environment can be replaced by an immersive virtual environment for games, entertainment, fitness, and other applications.

Mixed Reality

Virtual objects can be placed within the user's real-world surroundings using full-color passthrough.

6DoF Tracking

The Quest 3S provides six degrees of freedom (6DoF) tracking.

It can track movement including:

• Forward / Backward
• Left / Right
• Up / Down
• Head Rotation
• Body Position Changes

No external tracking base stations are required for normal operation.

Hand Tracking

Quest 3S supports controller-free hand tracking.

In compatible applications and system interfaces, users can interact using their hands rather than holding controllers.

Support and available gestures vary by application.

Meta Quest Touch Plus Controllers

The standard Quest 3S package includes two Meta Quest Touch Plus controllers.

Controller Features

• Wireless Tracking
• Hybrid Computer Vision / Machine-Learning Tracking
• TruTouch Haptic Feedback
• Compact Ring-Free Design
• Analog Sticks
• Triggers
• Grip Controls
• Face Buttons
• Menu Controls
• Wrist Straps

Each standard Touch Plus controller uses an AA battery.

Built-In Spatial Audio

Quest 3S includes integrated stereo speakers, allowing users to experience VR audio without requiring separate headphones.

It also includes a built-in microphone for supported:

• Multiplayer Voice Chat
• Social VR
• Calls
• Voice Functions
• Online Communication

Wi-Fi 6E

The Quest 3S is Wi-Fi 6E certified, providing high-speed wireless networking when paired with compatible network equipment.

This is particularly useful for:

• Downloading Games
• Multiplayer Gaming
• Streaming
• Online VR
• Cloud Services
• PC VR via Air Link

Bluetooth 5.2

Bluetooth 5.2 provides connectivity for supported wireless accessories and devices.

Accessory compatibility depends on Meta Horizon OS support.

Standalone VR – No PC Required

The Quest 3S is an all-in-one standalone headset.

A gaming PC or PlayStation console is not required to play compatible standalone Meta Quest games and applications.

Processing, storage, tracking, displays, and battery power are integrated directly into the headset.

PC VR Support

Although Quest 3S works independently, it can also be used with a compatible gaming PC for supported PC VR experiences.

PC VR Connection Options

• Meta Quest Link Cable
• Meta Quest Air Link over Wi-Fi

PC VR performance and compatibility depend on the connected computer, network configuration, software, and game.

A dedicated Link cable is generally sold separately.

Battery Life

Meta currently rates the Quest 3S at approximately:

~2.5 Hours Typical Battery Life

Actual runtime varies depending on:

• Game / Application
• Mixed Reality Usage
• Display Brightness
• Refresh Rate
• Wireless Activity
• Volume
• Battery Condition
• Environmental Conditions

USB-C

Quest 3S includes a USB-C connection used for functions including charging and compatible data/PC connectivity.

Quest 3S vs Quest 3

Both Quest 3S and Quest 3 use the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor and 8GB RAM, so they share the same core generation of processing hardware.

However, there are important differences:

The Quest 3S therefore delivers the Quest 3 generation of processing performance while using a simpler optical system.

Important Quest 3S vs Quest 2 Note

The Quest 3S shares the 1832 × 1920-per-eye physical display resolution associated with Quest 2, but it is not simply a Quest 2.

Quest 3S upgrades the platform with:

• Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2
• 8GB RAM
• Full-Color Passthrough
• Improved Mixed Reality Capabilities
• Touch Plus Controllers
• Wi-Fi 6E
• Current Quest 3-generation software compatibility

Important Storage Note

This listing is specifically for:

Meta Quest 3S – 128GB

It should not be confused with other storage configurations.

Actual available user storage will be less than 128GB after system software and required files are installed.

Important 3.5mm Headphone Note

Unlike Quest 3, Meta's current Quest 3S device comparison does not list a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack for Quest 3S.

The headset has built-in stereo speakers, and compatible USB-C or wireless audio solutions may be used where supported.
