Samsung has officially entered the extended reality (XR) arena with the launch of its much-anticipated Galaxy XR headset, a device designed to challenge Apple’s Vision Pro — but at nearly half the cost. Teaming up with Google and Qualcomm, Samsung aims to redefine the XR experience by combining cutting-edge hardware with AI-driven software innovation.
Sleek Design with a Practical Edge
At first glance, the Galaxy XR mirrors the Vision Pro’s premium design but introduces thoughtful improvements for comfort and usability. The top of the headset features a raised contour, potentially easing long-duration wear. Like Apple’s device, Samsung’s headset uses an external battery pack connected by cable, ensuring balanced weight distribution.
Notably, the Galaxy XR is lighter, weighing 545g compa
