Meta Quest 3S
Standalone VR and MR headset
Meta Quest 3S is a standalone virtual and mixed reality headset. After the initial setup, you can play games, watch films on a virtual screen or use educational apps, without a computer or a permanent cable connection. With the right apps, you can use it at home, at school or at work.
Put it on and play
When running standalone games and apps, Quest 3S does not need to stay connected to a computer or phone, and it does not require external tracking sensors. Before first use, you need to set up the headset and install the apps you want.

Sharp images, smooth motion
The headset offers a resolution of 1832 × 1920 pixels per eye and refresh rates up to 120 Hz. Available refresh rates and smoothness depend on the app and its settings.

Performance you can feel
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2, the same chip used in Quest 3. Performance and smoothness depend on the requirements and optimisation of each app.

Control with your hands
The box includes Meta Quest Touch Plus, and you can also control the interface with your hands using hand tracking. Hand-tracking support in games depends on the app. Built-in speakers and a microphone let you use audio and voice chat in compatible apps without additional headphones.

For home, school and business
Uses depend on the apps you choose. At home, the headset works well for games, films and fitness. At school, you can use it for VR lessons, virtual field trips or presenting 3D models. At work, it can support training, presentations and product demonstrations at real-world scale.

Comparison and alternatives
Choose Quest 3S for its lower price. Quest 3 is the better choice if pancake lenses, a wider field of view and continuous interpupillary distance adjustment are priorities.
For businesses and schools
Before a larger purchase, it is worth testing the app on one device, deciding how accounts will be managed and selecting washable covers, charging equipment and a case.
