Thinking of investing in the Meta Quest but unsure on which device is best suited to you?
With the launch of Meta Quest 3, it’s important to know the difference between the two popular devices and understand which is going to serve you in the best way.
From the overall spec to key features, we’ve compared the two devices to help you make the right decision.
Product Specifications
Understanding the key spec of each product is critical to knowing which is going to be the right device for your needs. As expected, the Meta Quest 3 comes with updated features that enable it to stand out from its predecessor...
Meta Quest 3 Updates:
- 4 years newer
- Supports mixed-reality experiences (Quest 2 only supports immersive VR)
- Same 2-3 hr battery life
- Stronger processor (Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor)
- More storage (128GB or 512GB storage)
- More memory (8GB RAM (2x more)
Comfort Comparisons
When it comes to VR headsets, you need to be comfortable when it comes to wearing the device and Meta took this into consideration when creating their newest device. The Meta Quest 3 is a much slimmer device in comparison to the Meta Quest 2, however, there is very little change in the weight of each headset.
The Meta Quest 3 also comes with a new strap design, making it easier to perfect the fit of both the strap and device when on your head.

Controller Changes
Meta have made a few changes to the overall design and performance of the Meta Quest 3 controllers. Intended to provide more comfort and ease of use, the updated controller is a hybrid using computer vision and machine learning tracking.
They've also been designed with TruTouch variable haptics, compared to the basic haptics of the Meta Quest 2 controllers.
Updated Features
As expected, the Meta Quest 3 device launched with updated features to make it stand out from the crowd. For starters, the full-colour passthrough is much better than what the Meta Quest 2 had to offer. This upgraded element enables users to have a clear, high-quality view making the overall experience more enjoyable.
With the Meta Quest 3 device being fully mixed-reality, it changes the whole dynamic. This opens you up to more of an enhanced interactive experience.
Unlimited App & Gaming Access
With the Meta Quest 3 comes access to a number of new apps and games that are exclusive to the mixed-reality device.
It's worth noting that all apps and games available to use on the Meta Quest 2 are still accessible with the Quest 3, however, you won't be able to use some of the newer releases with the older headset.
Pricing
When it comes to pricing, the Meta Quest 3 comes out higher and will set you back around £479.
