Samsung has officially announced the highly anticipated Galaxy XR, its groundbreaking mixed reality headset built for the new Android XR platform. Retailing at USD 1,799.99, the Galaxy XR marks Samsung’s strongest step into the next generation of immersive, AI-driven spatial computing.
For those outside the initial launch regions, Big Apple Buddy, an established New York shopping concierge, is helping international tech enthusiasts get early access to the device directly from America.
The Samsung Galaxy XR: Expanding Reality
Built in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, the Galaxy XR runs One UI XR on top of Android XR, featuring Google’s Gemini AI for multimodal interaction via eye, hand, and voice control. It is powered by the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 processor with 16 GB RAM and 256 GB storage, delivering fast, responsive performance across augmented and virtual reality applications.
The Galaxy XR features dual Micro OLED panels (3,552 × 3,840 per eye), producing a total of 27 million pixels with 95% DCI-P3 color coverage, HDR10, and refresh rates up to 90 Hz. It includes two high-resolution passthrough cameras, six world-tracking sensors, and four eye-tracking cameras, enabling precise spatial awareness and blended reality experiences.
Audio is delivered through dual two-way speakers with Dolby Atmos and a six-microphone beamforming array for 3D spatial sound. The tethered battery pack weighs 302 grams and offers up to 2.5 hours of video playback. Connectivity features include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and optional Galaxy XR Controllers, available separately for USD 250.
