  The #GalaxyXR launch event has finished. To be honest, it has been pretty underwhelming. I'm happy for the launch of a new headset and a new platform, but the pace was very boring, the use cases shown already known, and the attention was more on AI than XR. Some bright moments [i…

  So, another two things I noticed on the specs page for the Galaxy XR page is that the refresh rates are lower than the #AppleVisionPro, and that the Galaxy XR only supports 256GB of space. Please tell me that they offer larger storage sizes on this headset. That would be

  Last week, I spent some time with the Galaxy XR and was very impressed with what Samsung had to offer. Unlike Vision Pro, Galaxy XR is much lighter weight. It's only 545g versus the 748g of the M5 Vision Pro. Android XR is incredibly smooth, Google and Samsung have brought [image…

  Samsung launched Galaxy XR! $1,799 but includes like $1000+ worth of services I haven't had a chance to try it, but heard great things. Seems like a great Android XR device at a good value compared to other premium headsets. [image]

  I didn't think I'd be receiving two brand new XR headsets this week... from the largest hardware manufacturers in the world I think after I get my Samsung Galaxy XR, the question I'll ask myself: Do interested enthusiasts buy this OR a used Vision Pro M2 for about the same price …

  For those who don't want to scroll through the image, here's the early review for Samsung Galaxy XR summarized: 1️⃣ First Impressions The Galaxy XR is Samsung's big move into spatial computing. Sleek design, excellent comfort, and a more “gadget” feel than Apple's luxury

  Samsung have apparently run out of stock for their optional Galaxy XR controllers and carrying case accessories in the USA This is confirmed by customer support chat, as well (must have been a very low volume that they made of those) [image]

  Note the “$250” controllers for Samsung Galaxy XR are 70% off I guess? And you get $100 off if you reserved a spot in the livestream. Pricing is a little confusing in the end but here it is: [image]

• @benz145 Ben Lang on x

  Galaxy XR is pretty similar to Vision Pro, but only $1,800. Granted, Vision Pro launched nearly two years ago. Tim Cook's “tomorrow's technology today” claim doesn't feel to far off.

  Congrats to Google and Samsung on the launch of the Galaxy XR! I think you're all going to love this headset and the apps coming to it. Bringing @fluid_xr to AndroidXR has been a pretty wonderful experience. We're excited to have you try it soon! [image]

  Samsung Galaxy XR is here! Price wise it is actually not that bad, but will it keep up features wise with Apple Vision Pro? Well, I will find out soon. Review incoming [image]

  Samsung and Google's headset - the Galaxy XR - is now official. $1800, way lighter than the Vision Pro. The OS isn't as polished though. First impressions from @HeySamantha and @chriswelch https://www.bloomberg.com/...

• @josethevrtech @josethevrtech on x

  the idea of thinking the samsung galaxy xr headset is competing with the Apple Vision Pro is unfair lol, they're genuinely not even in the same category, they're built on completely different hardware/software architectures and philosophy. one runs everything on a single chip

• @workaholicdavid Amir on x

  Apple released Vision Pro only to be DOA. Galaxy XR has: -A native YouTube App -A native NetFlix app -HBO -VR games from noteworthy developers from Meta Quest -Plenty of apps for different sports - An actually usable AI -200g lighter And is 51% less expensive than Vision Pro [ima…

  The Samsung Galaxy XR event feels more like a cheap poorly produced infomercial. Not the launch of the next Galaxy product.

  The Samsung Galaxy XR while its an innovative product and more affordable than the Apple Vision Pro. However it also shares a significant issue for most consumers What is the use case for most consumers? and does it offer real value for the money spent

  Samsung Galaxy XR is here, and I have to ask: why should I buy one? What's the killer app? Sports? Who wants to watch sports using a headset rather than with friends on TV? Or even if you're alone. Google Earth/Maps? Cool, I guess, but not a killer app. Video apps? Meh. Why

• @heaney555 David Heaney on x

  Samsung Galaxy XR is half the price of Apple Vision Pro, but its controllers too are a $250 optional extra.

• @scottstein Scott Stein on bluesky

  Quick comparison thoughts:  —  M5 Vision Pro has the most powerful processor by far and a good head start on OS, capabilities, but price and weight are high  —  Samsung Galaxy XR is lighter, displays still look great, less expensive, runs Android and also has multimodal Gemini Li…

  @deusPaul Good question. @XREAL_Global makes a cool pair of cinematic glasses, but they have a different use case and design. They allow you to mirror a phone or laptop display in a pair of normal-ish-looking glasses - no big face-covering headset, but also no eye- and hand-track…

  The AI native experience of Galaxy XR takes this product category to a whole new level. And the explorer pack includes over $1000 of services from Google and other partners.
