Samsung announced an upcoming first-party Samsung XR headset at its recent Galaxy S23 family unveiling event. The XR headset is poised as a competitor to Meta’s Rift headsets, as well as Apple’s upcoming mixed reality headset. Samsung is developing its headset in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, with Qualcomm working on the hardware and Google reportedly collaborating on the software side.
The company did not offer specific details on the headset as it is in the early production stages. This means customers will have to wait longer to see information regarding performance, price, ecosystem, and other features. The companies stated that the “Open collaboration” between the three will result in “a whole greater than the sum of the parts” as they work together to deliver next-generation, industry-leading experiences on “new platforms,” as stated in its Galaxy Unpacked presentation.
