Wait if you can - Quest 3S has same SoC as Quest 3, but same lenses and display as Quest 2. This is by no means bad and you will enjoy both Quest 3S in standaloine and connected to PC for PC VR, but Quest 3 has 30% more total pixels, over 50% more pixels per inch and 20% more pixels per degree, as well as ~15% better horizontal field of view. I'm expecting Quest 4S to have same SoC as Quest 4, but with lenses and display as Quest 3.

Though, full Quest 4 will probably have eye tracking, and 4S probably still won't.

Comparison of Quest 2/3S/3 through the lenses

OMG, thank you so much for this video! I like it a lot!

So, it seems like there's quite a difference from Quest 3s to Quest 3. But the Quest 3s is already a nice improvement over Quest 2.

Maybe waiting for the next-gen devices I can get a Quest 4s with the original Quest 3 quality and a reasonable price (I like techs, but I'm a budget guy and those things are very expensive around here).

Yeah, Quest 3 has much better display and lenses than 3S, while both have same CPU/GPU combo.

Technically, if you want only to play PC VR games, Quest 2 might be your best bet due to how cheap it is (if you can still find it somewhere), but then you are limited to Quest 2 library when you want to use it standalone, which is not small and has lot of really good games, but new games haven't been supporting it for a while now.

Personally, I'm waiting for Quest 4, I liked Quest 3 display/lenses/FOV improvements, but felt that jump in processing power from Quest 2 was not nearly enough (only 2-2.5x), and lack of eye tracking was major disappointment (it would've alleviated some of that very modest jump in processing via foveated rendering), so these days my Quest 2 is often connected to PC.
