"The news came as a surprise to many, as it places the headset at half the price point of the Apple Vision Pro. To justify the price point even further, Samsung is including a number of free extras with the purchase. Accessing immersive entertainment experiences, such as watching your favorite show on a screen that mimics the theater experience from the comfort of your living room, is one of the biggest draws to AR/XR headsets."
""I think the immersive entertainment to me is probably the most compelling use case," Drew Blackard, SVP of Mobile Product Management at Samsung, told me. This package gets users over $1,000 worth of subscriptions, including 12 months of access to Google AI Pro, YouTube Premium, Google Play Pass, and an XR Pack, which includes a three-month subscription to YouTube TV, a 12-month subscription to NBA League Pass, NFL, PRO ERA, Project Pulsar from Adobe, Asteroid, and Calm. That's a lot."
Samsung launched the Galaxy XR headset at a $1,799 price point, half the cost of the Apple Vision Pro. The purchase includes The Explorer Pack, which offers more than $1,000 in premium subscriptions such as 12 months of Google AI Pro, YouTube Premium, Google Play Pass, and an XR Pack with YouTube TV, NBA League Pass, NFL, PRO ERA, Project Pulsar from Adobe, Asteroid, and Calm. Samsung positions immersive entertainment and professional spatial editing as key use cases. Demonstrations showed automatically spatialized YouTube playback on a suspended virtual screen with separate comment windows, enhancing viewing immersion.
