Subj : New Meta VR headset in FCC certification teases an imminent Quest To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Mon Sep 02 2024 18:00:06 New Meta VR headset in FCC certification teases an imminent Quest 3S launch Date: Mon, 02 Sep 2024 16:51:06 +0000 Description: The Meta Quest 3S will probably get revealed at Meta Connect 2024, and this FCC certification seemingly seals the deal. FULL STORY ====================================================================== Meta Connect 2024 is fast approaching, and one of the announcements well almost certainly get on September 25 will be for the Meta Quest 3S . We not only saw a batch of details from regular leakers, Meta itself leaked the headsets existence twice in recent months, and now FCC and Dekra certifications have further cemented the idea that well see a new VR device soon. Dekra is an independent product certification company, while the FCC is the United States Government's Federal Communications Commission, and its normal for both to check out and certify tech before its released to the public. 91Mobiles has shared details of certifications from each awarded to a new Meta device named P97 with Dekras document adding that its a VR headset. Even if P97 is somehow a previously unheard-of Meta gadget, given the companys usual announcement cycle which involves revealing and releasing new hardware at its annual Meta Connect showcase in late September/early October these details seemingly confirm well see something on September 25. So if you planned to finally buy a VR headset you might want to wait a little longer to see what Meta showcases. The VR headset you've been waiting for (Image credit: Meta) Its easy to get hyped for high-end hardware which is why you might be sad to see reports of the Meta Quest Pro 2s cancellation , and then happy to hear separate leaks that the Quest Pro 2 has maybe instead morphed into a very different kind of headset but for me the Quest 3S announcement has me super excited. I love the Meta Quest 3 if I didnt think it was fantastic I wouldnt have awarded it five stars in our Meta Quest 3 review but while its great value for money it is still a lot pricier than its predecessor the Meta Quest 2, costing $499.99 / 479.99 / AU$799.99 instead of the earlier version's $299 / 299 / AU$479 at launch. Rumors suggest the Meta Quest 3S will more closely match the Quest 2s price, while still packing essential Quest 3 specs like its Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset. If these reports are correct then the next-gen VR and MR experiences the Quest 3 offers like the exclusive Batman: Arkham Shadow game launching later this year could be a lot more accessible than they have been. And more people being able to afford great VR experiences is never a bad thing in my book. Obviously well have to wait and see what Meta announces if anything at all. While Im feeling confident somethings on its way theres always a chance the leaks have it wrong and the Quest 3S is a myth. I seriously hope it isnt but we wont know for sure until September 25.
