It will likely be called the Meta Quest 3S.
Some leaks have come from developers and some indirectly from Meta.
However, aside from all but confirming the existence of the product, there is little reliable information.
If Meta is taking suggestions, I have a few!
Many were priced out of the Quest 3.
However, my family has never had a problem with battery life on the Quest 3.

The Quest 2 lenses (Fresnel lenses) are curved and this takes up more space.
They work like a satellite dish to bounce light to a single point.
The Quest 3 has flat lenses (Pancake lenses) that repeatedly fold light instead of bouncing it.
They allow for a 40% slimmer design.
Pancake lenses are the current best available option for VR.
All the controllers work on the Quest 2, but Quest 2 controllers only work on the Quest 2.
Phase out the Quest 2 controllers, and ship the Quest 3S with the Touch Plus Controllers.
The new controllers coming into the household should work on both devices.
Do not introduce another “special” controller that only comes with the 3S.
New Quest 3S owners will want to play their old favorites as well as the hottest new games.
However, I will hold my breath until the official announcement!
Here’s hoping my wishlist can become a not-so-virtual reality.
