The 3S has lower resolution than the more expensive Meta Quest 3, and a slightly narrower field of view when used in augmented reality mode, but is otherwise equipped with the same processor and has access to the same library of titles available via the Quest App store.

Right now, Meta's virtual reality hardware pretty much rules the roost, balancing performance, comfort, and cost that other manufacturers have yet to match. The Quest 3S is the successor to the popular Quest 2 and blends some of the best aspects of the $500 Quest 3 with the nice parts of the older model, all for a very reasonable price.

To do this open the app, tap the three-line menu button at the top of your feed on the home page, look under Device management and choose Devices, then finally select Add device at the bottom of the page – which will then let you choose if you want to add a Meta Quest 3 or Meta Quest 3S (or any other Quest headset).

Plus, HMD’s Barbie flip phone, Ugreen’s MagSafe power bank with a face, and the Amazon Fire 7 tablet are cheaper than ever.

As of Jan. 14, the Meta Quest 3S (256GB) has dropped to $349 at Amazon. This is 13% off its list price of $399.99. The new year has kicked off with some great deals already, and the latest is worth checking out for gamers.

Amazon and other online retailers have discounted the Meta Quest 3S headset by $51, allowing those interested in the offer to grab the VR headset for $349 instead of $400. The Meta Quest 3S offers buyers an amazing opportunity to experience mixed reality with an entry-level VR headset.
