Samsung launches Galaxy XR headset at $1,799, the first Android XR device
Samsung released the Galaxy XR mixed-reality headset on October 21, 2025 for $1,799 (controllers sold separately for $250), the first commercial device running Google's Android XR platform. The headset runs Android apps and integrates Google Gemini AI. Samsung bundled an 'Explorer Pack' of subscriptions worth over $1,140 for early buyers. It positions Samsung as a lower-priced rival to Apple's Vision Pro roughly six months after Vision Pro's own hardware refresh.
