The almighty Meta Quest 3: Specs, price and release date
If the rumored Meta Quest 3 specs are true, the new AR headset of Meta is poised to make its mark in the tech world with its impressive specifications and immersive experiences. With an official announcement from Meta, the Meta Quest 3 has garnered significant attention.
Priced at $499, this cutting-edge device is set to hit the market this fall, offering a range of exciting features and advancements in virtual reality and mixed reality.
Meta Quest Youtube channel has shared this trailer where they introduced us to a little insight on eagerly awaited Meta Quest 3 specs:
Rumored Meta Quest 3 specs and its revamped design
Although specific Meta Quest 3 specs remain somewhat elusive, CEO Mark Zuckerberg's Instagram announcement offers some key insights. The base storage option for the Meta Quest 3 will be 128GB, with the potential for an additional storage option to accommodate users requiring more space.
While the exact storage capacity and pricing for this option are unknown, it is likely that Meta will offer models with higher storage capacities, such as 256GB or even 512GB.
The Meta Quest 3 will incorporate a next-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, optimized specifically for the Quest 3. This enhancement translates to a significant boost in graphics performance, providing users with visually stunning VR gaming experiences.
While specific details regarding resolution and refresh rate are yet to be disclosed, it is anticipated that the Quest 3 will offer a higher resolution compared to the Quest 2, potentially reaching 4,128 by 2,208 pixels or 2,064 by 2,208 pixels per eye. The refresh rate is expected to start at 120Hz, with the possibility of reaching 144Hz through future updates.
The Meta Quest 3 showcases a refreshed design, distinguishing itself from its predecessor. With a slimmer profile, approximately 40% sleeker than the previous model, the Meta Quest 3 aims to provide users with a more comfortable and immersive virtual reality experience.
The improved design contributes to the device's sleek aesthetic, and the inclusion of a new Snapdragon chipset ensures superior performance in rendering virtual environments and mixed-reality content.
Here is a summary of rumored Meta Quest 3 specs:
- Meta Quest 3 is rumored to feature a slimmer design compared to its predecessor
- The headset may come equipped with a new Snapdragon chipset for improved performance
- The base storage option is expected to be 128GB, with the potential for higher storage capacities
- The Quest 3 might offer enhanced graphics performance, delivering higher-quality visuals in VR games
- Resolution details have not been confirmed, but a significant increase is anticipated
- The refresh rate is expected to start at 120Hz, with the possibility of reaching 144Hz
- High-fidelity Color Passthrough feature could allow users to view the real world in full color
- The redesigned headset is anticipated to be more comfortable for extended usage
- The Touch Plus controllers may feature improved ergonomics and TruTouch haptics
- No information on eye-tracking technology has been revealed
Meta Quest 3 price and release date
The Meta Quest 3 comes with a price tag of $499, positioning itself as a premium VR headset within its segment. While this does require a $100 premium compared to the Quest 2, potential buyers seeking a more budget-friendly option can still opt for the Quest 2, which will receive a price reduction.
The release date for the Meta Quest 3 is yet to be officially announced, but Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has hinted that further details will be revealed during the Meta Connect conference scheduled for September 27. Based on previous release patterns, it is reasonable to expect the Quest 3 to hit the market around that time, potentially following the October release window of its predecessor.
As the Meta Quest 3 prepares to enter the market, it shows great promise as a significant upgrade over its predecessor. With a range of technological advancements and a growing library of VR games, the Meta Quest 3 has the potential to enthrall both new and experienced virtual reality enthusiasts.
While the higher price point may be a consideration for some, the impressive Meta Quest 3 specs, combined with its commitment to building a vibrant VR ecosystem, position it as a formidable contender in the all-in-one VR headset market but can Meta Quest 3 really beat Apple Headset? Only the time will tell.
As we eagerly await further updates and the official release, the Meta Quest 3 has the potential to drive the VR industry toward the metaverse, revolutionizing the way we experience virtual reality.

Missing from the “story”: Ukraine’s agreement to never use Starlink for military purposes. This is why.
Ghacks quality is AI driven and very poor these days since AI is really artificial stupidity.
“Elon Musk biographer Walter Isaacson forced to ‘clarify’ book’s account of Starlink incident in Ukraine War
“To clarify on the Starlink issue: the Ukrainians THOUGHT coverage was enabled all the way to Crimea, but it was not. They asked Musk to enable it for their drone sub attack on the Russian fleet. Musk did not enable it, because he thought, probably correctly, that would cause a major war.”

I posted above comment to:
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/09/08/elon-musk-turned-off-starlink-during-ukranian-offence/
Not to the following article about Geforce where I currently also can see it published:
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/29/how-to-fix-geforce-experience-error-code-0x0003/
Well, using Brave, I can see Llama 2 being decent, but it is still not great?
All these AI stuff seems more like a ‘toy’ than anything special, I mean, it is good for some stuff like translations or asking quick questions but not for asking anything important.
The problem is Brave made it mostly for summarizing websites and all that, but all these Big tech controlled stuff, won’t summarize articles it doesn’t agree with, so it is also useless in many situations where you just want it to give you a quick summarization, and then it starts throwing you little ‘speeches’ about how it doesn’t agree with it and then it never summarizes anything, but give you all the 30 paragraphs reasons why the article is wrong, like if I am asking it what it thinks.
SO all this AI is mostly a toy, but Facebook with all the power they have will be able to get so much data from people, it can ‘train’ or better say, write algorithms that will get better with time.
But It is not intelligence, it is really not intelligence all these AI technology.

The eternal problematic of regulating, here applied to AI. Should regulations (interventionism) have interfered in the course of mankind ever since Adam and Eve where would we be now? Should spirituality, morality, ethics never have interfered where would we be now? I truly have always believed that the only possible consensus between ethics and freedom is that of individuals’ own consciousness.
Off-topic : Musk’s beard looks like a wound, AI-Human hand-shake is a quite nice pic :)
Haha, oh dear, Tom.
I thought that the comments system issue where comments shows up under a totally different article was fixed. But seeing your comment here, the “error” is clearly still active. Hopefully it is sorted as soon as possible.

Hi Karl :) Well, let’s remain positive and see the good sides : one’s comment appearing within different articles (the one it was written form and for, another unrelated one) brings ubiquity to that comment : say it once and it’s published twice, double your pleasure and double your fun (“with double-mint, double-mint gum” and old ad!). Let’s forget the complications and inherited misunderstandings it leads to. Not sure the fun is worth the complications though. Which is why, with a few others here, I include Article Title & URL with comment, to ease a bit the pain.
This said, I’m trying to find a logic key which would explain the mic-mac. One thing is sure : comments appearing twice keep the same comment number.
For instance my comment to which you replied just above is originally :
[https://www.ghacks.net/2023/09/14/artificial-intelligence-regulation-tech-leaders/#comment-4573676]
It then got duplicated to :
[https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/29/how-to-fix-geforce-experience-error-code-0x0003/#comment-4573676]
Same comment number, which let’s me imagine comments are defined by their number as before but now dissociated in a way from their full path : that’s where something is broken, as i see it.
First amused me, then bothered, annoyed (I took some holidays to lower the pressure), then triggered curiosity.
I’m putting our best detectives on the affair, stay tuned.
Hehe, yes indeed, staying positive is what we should do. Good comes for those who wait, as the old saying goes. Hopefully true for this as well.
Interesting that the comments number stays the same, I noted that one thing is added to the duplicated comment in the URL, an error code, the following: “error-code-0x0003”.
Not useful for us, but hopefully for the developers (if there are any?), that perhaps will be able to sort this comments error out. Or our detectives, I hope they work hard on this as we speak ;).
Cheers and have a great weekend!
Whoops, my bad. I just now realized that the error I saw in your example URL (error-code-0x0003) was part of the linked article title and generated by Geforce! Oh dear! Why did I try to make it more confusing than it already is lol!

@Karl, you write,
“I noted that one thing is added to the duplicated comment in the URL, an error code, the following: “error-code-0x0003”.”
I haven’t noticed that up to now but indeed brings an element to those who are actually trying to resolve the issue.
I do hope that Softonic engineers are working on fixing this issue, which may be more complicated than we can imagine. Anything to do with databases can become a nightmare, especially when the database remains accessed while being repaired, so to say.
P.S. My comment about remaining positive was, in this context, sarcastic. Your literal interpretation could mean you are, factually, more inclined to positiveness than I am myself : maybe a lesson of life for me :)
Have a nice, happy, sunny weekend as well :)
Correct: AI is certainly overhyped, it’s also advertised by some shady individuals. It’s can also be misused to write poor quality articles or fake your homework.

“How much radiation is dangerous?
Ionizing radiation, such as X-rays and gamma rays, is more energetic and potentially harmful. Exposure to doses greater than 1,000 millisieverts (mSv) in a short period can increase the risk of immediate health effects.
Above about 100 mSv, the risk of long-term health effects, such as cancer, increases with the dose.”
This ban is about NON-ionizing radiation limits, because there is too much radio wave power from the iphone. This has nothing to do with the much more dangerous ionizing radiations like X-rays, that are obviously not emitted at all by mobile phones. I invite you to correct your article.
“Aaro.mil makes history as the first official UFO website”
I wonder if it’s just smelly crowdsourcing for the spotting of chinese balloons or whatever paranoia they’re trying to instigate, or if they are also intentionally trying to look stupid enough to look for alien spaceships, for whatever reason. Maybe trying to look cute, instead of among the worst butchers of history ?
“The tech titan’s defense”
“Whether he provides a clear explanation or justifies his actions”
“the moral compass”
You take it for granted that this company should agree being a military communications provider on a war zone, and so directly so that his network would be used to control armed drones charged with explosives rushing to their targets.
You don’t need to repeat here everything you read in the mainstream press without thinking twice about it. You’re not just pointing interestingly that his company is more involved in the war that one may think at first and that this power is worrying, you’re also declaring your own support for a side in an imperialist killfest, blaming him for not participating enough in the bloodshed.
Now your article is unclear on how this company could be aware that its network is used for such military actions at a given time, which has implications of its own.
Reading other sources on that quickly, it seems that the company was: explicitly asked ; to extend its network geographically ; for a military attack ; at a time when there was no war but with the purpose of triggering it, if I understood well. You have to be joking if you’re crying about that not happening at that time. But today you have your war, be happy.
