In early 2023 Samsung officially announced it was working on an XR headset, with Google handling the system software via a new variant of Android, now known to be called Android XR, and Qualcomm providing the chipset, which it later announced as Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2, a higher-end variant of the base XR2 Gen 2 used in Meta Quest 3. Business Insider's Hugh Langley, who previously revealed the existence of Android XR before it was publicly known, cites "a person familiar with the internal timeline" as saying the headset was originally set to launch earlier this year, but the current launch timeline is now March 2025.

I'm so excited to see it and how it works!

Samsung was the maker of the first headset I bought after my CV1. I am super excited to see them back in VR/XR.

I'm torn if i'd get one if it doesn't do PCVR. I still work on a virtual screen in VR everyday so it could be a good monitor replacement but the quest pro was already fine for that and the quest 3 is also good for that and it does PCVR so it would need to be truly incredible for me to drop $2K+ for it.

I am hoping some of these new headsets come in at $1500, but $2k is more likely.
