The Quest 3S surpasses the Quest 2 in all aspects, remarkably without a price hike. It also boasts many features from the higher-priced Quest 3, including improved Touch controllers, an upgraded Snapdragon APU, and full-color AR passthrough. IGN's 9/10 review highlighted its raw power, full-color passthrough, and responsive controllers, making it an exceptional standalone VR headset and a groundbreaking entry-level mixed-reality option.
This deal stands out due to the Quest 3S's completely untethered gameplay. Enjoy titles like Beat Saber and Pistol Whip without needing a powerful PC or PlayStation 5. Finding a comparable standalone VR headset at this price is virtually impossible.
Even at full price, the Quest 3S is significantly more affordable than the Quest 3 ($200 or 40% cheaper). This price difference results from some spec compromises:

Differences:
Essentially, the Quest 3S offers nearly identical functionality with slightly downgraded optics. The lower resolution, however, may actually improve performance and battery life due to reduced processing load.
The Quest 3S offers superior value compared to both the Quest 3 and the Quest 2, making it an excellent choice for most gamers, especially those on a budget.
