Samsung Galaxy XR Headset Launched, but UK Consumers Left Waiting
Samsung has finally revealed its long-anticipated Galaxy XR headset, positioning itself as a competitor to Apple’s Vision Pro. After the initial unveiling of Project Moohan in January, tech enthusiasts were eager to experience the Android XR technology firsthand.
The Galaxy XR boasts impressive features, including two 4K screens and a sophisticated tracking system comprising 10 cameras. Powered by Qualcomm’s XR2+ Gen 2 chip, this headset promises compatibility with a wide array of Android applications, offering users a versatile and immersive experience.
Despite the excitement surrounding the Galaxy XR, Samsung has decided to launch it exclusively in the US and Korea initially, with no confirmed plans for a UK release. Priced at $1,800, the headset presents a significant investment, albeit more affordable than its Apple counterpart.
It remains unclear whether Samsung will extend the availability of the Galaxy XR to other markets, such as the UK. However, the company has hinted at the development of AI glasses, which could offer a more accessible alternative with broader global reach.
While enthusiasts await further updates on the Galaxy XR’s potential expansion, Samsung’s foray into wearable XR technology sets the stage for a new era of immersive experiences.
