Overview
- SamMobile reports that Germany, France, Canada and the UK are next for Galaxy XR in 2026, with timing within the year unconfirmed and subject to change.
- The headset is currently sold only in the United States and South Korea at about $1,799 as Samsung staggers distribution.
- Galaxy XR is the first commercial Android XR headset, combining a Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip, 16GB/256GB, 4.3K micro‑OLED displays with full‑color passthrough, and Gemini AI integration.
- Optional motion controllers sold separately have been difficult to obtain in the U.S., with selective back‑in‑stock emails going out even as the product page still lists them as unavailable.
- Without controllers, many VR and PC‑VR titles do not work, pushing users to rely on hand tracking, eye tracking and voice input.
