Samsung has introduced the Galaxy XR, a powerful, lightweight, AI-powered XR headset.

Built on an open, scalable platform with multimodal AI at its core, Galaxy XR marks the beginning of the Android XR ecosystem, a new category of AI-native devices designed to deliver immersive experiences optimised for multimodal AI.

As the first product built on the new Android XR platform developed together by Samsung, Google and Qualcomm Technologies, it enables users to enjoy natural, deeply immersive experiences — from daily tasks to bold new frontiers.

All apps built on the Android platform work out of the box on Galaxy XR, ensuring users can enjoy familiar mobile experiences. And, since the platform is built on OpenXR standards, it’s easy for developers using OpenXR, WebXR or Unity to bring their experiences to Galaxy XR.

Galaxy XR has been engineered with a human-centric design to deliver long-term comfort. The battery pack is separate from the headset, making the device more compact, light and comfortable to wear. It also features a detachable light shield, offering comfort when removed and deeper immersion by blocking external light when attached.

Galaxy XR opens entirely new dimensions of discovery, providing a wide array of experiences optimised for XR such as Google Maps, YouTube, Circle to Search and Google Photos.

• Users can use Gemini as a guide to navigate to any place on Google Maps and ask for personalised suggestions about nearby places while exploring the world in immersive 3D maps.
• Users can naturally ask Gemini to find content they want to see in YouTube and get more information about the video they are watching.
• Using Circle to Search, in pass through mode, users can see the physical world around them and draw a circle with their hand to instantly search for information about anything in front of them.
• The gadget brings photos and videos to life by converting 2D images into 3D, turning memories into immersive experiences or reimagining them in entirely new ways.

Thanks to its advanced sensors, cameras and powerful hardware, Galaxy XR can precisely track users’ head, hand and eye movement and make these experiences truly immersive. The device’s microphones are strategically placed and supported by software to filter out external noises and capture the wearer’s voice clearly. Through Galaxy XR, users can explore both virtual and real worlds in XR-specialised apps using natural physical interaction, with assistance from Gemini.

Galaxy XR also opens new levels of immersion in entertainment – including sports and gaming – with its powerful hardware and superior performance.

• Users can stream their favourite shows on a 4K Micro-OLED screen that feels like a personal theatre.
• Sports fans can watch multiple games at the same time, feeling as if they are right in the stadium.
• While playing XR-specialised games, users can chat with Gemini for real-time coaching, tips and enhanced gameplay experiences.
• Project Pulsar from Adobe makes cinematic video edits easy – users can add 3D depth and layer captions or icons behind subjects on a larger-than-life canvas.

Powered by Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2, Galaxy XR delivers next generation immersive experiences with two-and-a-half hour of battery life. ✤
