I bought Samsung's $1,800 XR headset to get work done - and it's already paying off
"While hand tracking works for me about 70% of the time, when I'm focused on efficiency and getting work done, I need the headset to be as reliable as my laptop. Therefore, pairing the headset with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse is my preferred method for navigation until Samsung can improve the reliability of its hand and eye tracking. The availability of apps like Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Microsoft Office is strong, and they perform as expected."
"After purchasing an Apple Vision Pro, I was initially impressed by its capability to create an immersive, multi-screen environment when paired with my MacBook Pro. However, after just a couple of weeks, the $3,500 price tag proved too steep for the marginal boost in productivity, leading to its return. When Samsung announced the at half the cost, I was immediately intrigued."
The Galaxy XR costs about $1,800, roughly half the price of the Apple Vision Pro, and supports native Android XR apps plus Virtual Desktop multi-screen experiences. Hand and eye tracking remain inconsistent, so pairing with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse provides a more reliable productivity workflow. Native apps like Google Docs, Sheets, and Microsoft Office work well for writing and spreadsheets. Direct PC connectivity is limited to Galaxy Book devices for now. The headset offers strong immediate value for travel and multitasking, but lingering tracking issues and limited PC support reduce its utility for some professional users.
