In a groundbreaking announcement at this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024, Samsung, in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, revealed their highly anticipated XR headset set to release in 2025. Aptly named "XR" for now, the device promises to revolutionize the world of augmented, virtual, and mixed reality (AR/VR/MR) experiences.

Although details are currently scarce, early reports suggest that the Samsung XR headset will feature cutting-edge technology, including a microOLED display, eight tracking cameras, a Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor, voice commands, eye tracking, and hand tracking. These features, alongside Qualcomm's recently launched XR2+ Gen 2 Platform, developed in partnership with Samsung and Google, are expected to deliver an unparalleled XR experience.

Qualcomm's XR2+ Gen 2 Platform, known for its ability to unlock 4.3K resolution, offers crystal-clear visuals for immersive experiences, such as room-scale screens, life-size overlays, and virtual desktops. The chipset also boasts significant improvements in GPU performance, enabling AR/MR devices with advanced camera tracking capabilities and enhanced AI features for smart glasses and headsets.

The collaboration between Samsung, Qualcomm, and Google holds great promise for the Android ecosystem, enabling developers to leverage the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 capabilities and create groundbreaking immersive and spatial XR experiences. With Samsung's expertise in mobile technology and the joint commitment of the partners, the upcoming Samsung XR headset aims to deliver a best-in-class XR experience for Galaxy users.

While further details about the Samsung XR headset are yet to be revealed, the features of the XR2+ Gen 2 Platform provide valuable insights into the device's usability and performance. As anticipation builds, users can expect a more comprehensive reveal later in the year, offering a closer look at what promises to be a game-changing XR device.
