Based on the rumors, I find it funny they are calling it "lite" or "S" (which usually means "small") when it's supposedly a bit bulkier than than 3. The leaked specs make it seem like it's just a Quest 2 except for having the same CPU as the 3. Bulkier lenses, smaller resolution, same price as the 2. Is the CPU really that much better that it would be worth getting over a Quest 2 (which they probably will stop selling)?

Of course those are just "leaks" and rumors, so maybe it's not actually that bad. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

The processor in 3 is a pretty sizeable improvement over 2. A quick and dirty a/b test I did found frames rendered in 13ms on q2 would render in 9-10ms on q3, so that's a good 20 - 30% faster, even though it's rendering a lot more pixels.

I think the important bit for meta though is making sure their range of headsets all have decent passthrough. No one is going to develop MR apps, and it'll never take off, unless the whole user base can use them.

Personally I'd take the better lenses and resolution of the q3 over better passthrough though.
