Samsung App Update Reveals 3D Capture for Galaxy XR Headset

A Camera Assistant test build exposes phone-based spatial media tools for Samsung’s Android XR device.

Overview

  • Camera Assistant v4.0.0.3 adds a “3D capture” option that, per the in‑app description, creates spatial photos and videos for Galaxy XR headsets.
  • The update is currently available on the Galaxy S25 FE, but the 3D capture toggle only appears when the APK is sideloaded to a Galaxy S25 Ultra, indicating unfinished software.
  • Hands-on testing showed a floating “3D capture” banner in the viewfinder and a prompt requesting more light, signaling early implementation behavior.
  • The app text explicitly references the Galaxy XR name, reinforcing branding for Samsung’s Project Moohan headset running on Google’s Android XR platform.
  • Reports describe dual micro‑OLED displays, an external battery, and hand or pinch input, while unconfirmed chatter points to a possible September 29 debut in South Korea, a mid‑October local launch, and an estimated $1,800–$2,800 price range.
