The Meta Quest 3 Lite gets another image ***** – and a new name

Nothing is official yet, but it seems increasingly likely that a cheaper version of the Meta Quest 3 is on the way. Now we have a freshly leaked image of the headset – which apparently isn’t called the Meta Quest 3 Lite.

That’s the name we’ve used for previous leaks, but as per a now-deleted

As for the design of the headset, it has a slightly unusual camera configuration on the front – this was missing in an earlier image *****, and given the importance of passthrough tech for mixed reality applications, there are probably going to be cameras somewhere.

The design looks a little thicker, probably due to the cheaper components inside, and is reminiscent of both the Oculus Go and the Oculus Quest 2. Specs-wise, the resolution is listed as 1832 x 1920 pixels, compared to 2064 x 2208 pixels on the Meta Quest 3.

It would certainly make sense for Meta to want to put out a cheaper model to appeal to a broader range of consumers, and it’s apparently something Apple is thinking about for its Vision Pro too. Watch this space.
