Samsung looks to have used Apple&#8217;s product as an example of what not to do, as many of the critiques of the Vision Pro seem fixed\u2014on paper, at least.<\/p>\n<p>The pricing, for one. At $1,800, the Galaxy XR is still a bit of a teeth-clencher, but it&#8217;s still nearly half the price of Apple&#8217;s initial offering. It&#8217;s also a good-looking device, with an outer screen that doesn&#8217;t appear to display your bugged-out eyeballs to all and sundry.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d be quite brave enough to wear one in public, but its got futuristic vibes that dip into the stylish, in my book. I reckon I&#8217;d still get my lunch money stolen if I wore one in my local park, but still. Progress.<\/p>\n<p>It also runs <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.android.com\/intl\/en_us\/xr\/\" target=\"_blank\">Android XR<\/a>, which is where I should probably start explaining the difference between VR, AR, and XR. VR, as I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re already aware, stands for Virtual Reality, ie complete immersion in a digital environment, while AR, or Augmented Reality, sticks digital elements on top of the world around you. Think Ray-Ban Meta glasses. <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/its-all-good-its-all-good-says-mark-zuckerberg-as-his-catastrophic-live-demo-of-metas-new-smart-glasses-goes-horribly-wrong-you-spend-years-making-technology-and-then-the-wi-fi-on-the-day-catches-you\/\" target=\"_blank\">When they work, that is<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery carousel-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 1 of 3<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"hck6ptvQ3HBchLkcmLb4aK\" name=\"GalaxyXR1done\" alt=\"The Samsung Galaxy XR headset, shot from various angles\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/samsung-has-launched-an-1800-xr-headset-and-if-you-listen-very-carefully-you-can-hear-the-pained-wailings-of-the-apple-vision-pro.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Samsung)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 2 of 3<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"VaPMWSUrTaAbbtNrdxCpZK\" name=\"GalaxyXR3done\" alt=\"The Samsung Galaxy XR headset, shot from various angles\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/samsung-has-launched-an-1800-xr-headset-and-if-you-listen-very-carefully-you-can-hear-the-pained-wailings-of-the-apple-vision-pro-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Samsung)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 3 of 3<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"ejamA4N8cnEuJfB32zmVaK\" name=\"GalaxyXR2done\" alt=\"The Samsung Galaxy XR headset, shot from various angles\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/samsung-has-launched-an-1800-xr-headset-and-if-you-listen-very-carefully-you-can-hear-the-pained-wailings-of-the-apple-vision-pro-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Samsung)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>XR is a combination of the two, and includes MR, or <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/mixed-reality\/discover\/mixed-reality\" target=\"_blank\">Mixed Reality<\/a>, because we live in a complicated world expressed primarily in initialisms now for some reason. In essence, XR headsets can do all three, which Samsung has achieved by covering the Galaxy XR with 12 different cameras, along with five inertial movement sensors and a flicker sensor.<\/p>\n<p>All this data is then pushed through a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qualcomm.com\/products\/mobile\/snapdragon\/xr-vr-ar\/snapdragon-xr2-plus-gen-2-platform\" target=\"_blank\">Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip<\/a>, complete with a Qualcomm Hexagon NPU, before the output is sent to two 3552 x 3840 resolution Micro-OLED internal displays and beamed through the lenses within.<\/p>\n<p>Apple&#8217;s software implementation left a lot to be desired in the OG Vision Pro, whereas Android XR looks to be a whole lot more customisable thanks to its open ecosystem. And as you might have guessed with the addition of the NPU, the Galaxy XR is promising a plentiful array of AI software features, complete with an app that allows you to draw circles around real world objects to search for information about anything in front of you. Which will make you look debonair and dashing, I&#8217;m sure.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"j7QzJuKNiVWkmJdsRpEZkX\" name=\"GalaxyXRview\" alt=\"A view of what the world looks like through the Samsung Galaxy XR headset\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/samsung-has-launched-an-1800-xr-headset-and-if-you-listen-very-carefully-you-can-hear-the-pained-wailings-of-the-apple-vision-pro-3.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Samsung)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Finally, just to stick the boot in, it appears that Samsung has fixed one last complaint about the Vision Pro for good measure\u2014the reported feeling of claustrophobia when you wear one.<\/p>\n<p>Verge reviewer Victoria Song has <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/qq7YVwl11vY?si=44-dVHxtjitOx-KK&#038;t=30\" target=\"_blank\">already tried out a pair<\/a>, and reports that not only is the Galaxy XR much lighter and better fitting than Apple&#8217;s original set, but there&#8217;s an option to detach the light shield in order to leave the bottom of the goggles open, so you can get a sense of the outside world in your periphery while you use it.<\/p>\n<p>Which will likely help those who find traditional VR headsets a little nauseating, like myself. It&#8217;s also worth pointing out that the new M5-chipped Vision Pro is even heavier than the original, which suggests some of the right lessons are still yet to be learned at Apple HQ.<\/p>\n<p>So, will all this convince me to buy a Galaxy XR? I doubt it. For a start, that price tag is still mahoosive, and when I could pick up several outstanding <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\">gaming monitors<\/a> for the same price, I&#8217;m happy to leave my virtual experiences on a flat, desk-based plane for the most part, thanks very much.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:66.67%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"VPwZLxnLJuYgT7LxhbsyWD\" name=\"apple_vision_pro01.jpg\" alt=\"A person wearing an Apple Vision Pro headset\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/samsung-has-launched-an-1800-xr-headset-and-if-you-listen-very-carefully-you-can-hear-the-pained-wailings-of-the-apple-vision-pro-4.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The aforementioned Apple Vision Pro eye-bulging issue. <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Apple)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But, I still think Samsung might have a winner on its hands. It seems like a well-thought-out device overall, and the price is low enough that a few of the more well-heeled among us might be tempted.
