Report: Galaxy XR Set for 2026 Launch in Germany, France, Canada and the UK

The staged expansion reflects Samsung’s cautious strategy as it builds the Android XR ecosystem and works through accessory supply constraints.

Overview

  • Samsung’s first Android XR headset is currently sold only in the United States and South Korea.
  • SamMobile reports that the next wave of markets in 2026 will include Germany, France, Canada, and the United Kingdom, with the list subject to change.
  • Galaxy XR controllers that quickly sold out in the U.S. are being selectively restocked, with email alerts going to some customers while the product page still shows limited availability.
  • The headset runs on Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 with 16GB RAM and 256GB storage, features dual 4.3K micro‑OLED displays with full‑color passthrough, and integrates Google’s Gemini for multimodal assistance.
  • Priced around $1,800, the device targets the premium tier and is testing demand with a phased rollout and a still‑growing catalog of XR‑native apps.
