"Samsung made its foray into the premium extended reality (XR) headset market last month with the launch of the Galaxy XR, initially available only in South Korea and the US. A new leak suggests that Samsung plans to expand the headset's availability to additional markets in 2026. The Galaxy XR is powered by the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chipset and runs on Google's Android XR operating system."
"Samsung appears to be adopting a phased approach with the Galaxy XR, launching it in key markets to evaluate market demand and performance before making it available widely. If the rumour holds any weight, then 2026 could mark the Galaxy XR's global debut. The expansion could help the device compete with models like the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest Pro in the broader XR space."
Samsung launched the Galaxy XR as a premium extended reality headset with micro-OLED displays, a multi-camera setup, and both VR and AR functionality. The headset uses the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chipset and runs Google's Android XR operating system. The 16GB + 256GB model is priced at $1,799 and offers roughly two hours of general-use battery life per charge. The device supports eye, hand, and voice input and can provide conversational responses via Google Gemini using contextual awareness of digital and physical surroundings. Samsung plans a phased geographical expansion, targeting Germany, France, Canada, and the UK in 2026.
