Next week's Meta Connect 2024 will see a host of announcements from the big Zuck, and we're expecting to see a lite version of the Meta Quest 3, already one of the best VR headsets. With Meta's big event right around the corner,

Keep in mind however, that the Meta Quest 3S is expected to use more energy than the Quest 2 thanks to the higher resolution colour passthrough.
