Samsung is stepping boldly into the world of extended reality (XR) with its highly anticipated Galaxy XR headset, built in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm. Priced at $1,799, the headset aims to rival Apple’s Vision Pro by offering premium performance at nearly half the cost.
Running on the new Android XR operating system, the Galaxy XR integrates cutting-edge AI features from Google and is powered by Qualcomm’s XR2+ Gen 2 chip, enabling advanced mixed-reality experiences and seamless multitasking.
The device promises an immersive experience through Google’s AI-driven tools — including object recognition, spatial computing, and immersive video rendering — making it a strong contender in the fast-growing XR market. Experts suggest that this collaboration could give Samsung a significant edge, enhancing both software capabilities and user engagement.
Although the XR industry faces challenges, with slower-than-expected growth, analysts believe Samsung’s competitive pricing and powerful partnerships could help the company capture both consumer and enterprise segments.
With the Galaxy XR, Samsung signals a new era in wearable technology — one where AI, innovation, and affordability come together to redefine the future of immersive computing.
