Samsung Plans 2026 Galaxy XR Launch in the UK, Canada, Germany and France

The company is scaling its first Android XR headset methodically to match production levels, app availability.

Overview

  • Samsung’s mixed‑reality headset is currently sold only in the United States and South Korea for $1,799.
  • SamMobile reports the next markets are Germany, France, Canada and the UK in 2026, with the list described as subject to change.
  • Coverage describes a phased rollout similar to Apple’s Vision Pro strategy to test demand and grow content for Android XR.
  • Optional Galaxy XR controllers remain hard to buy, with select U.S. customers receiving restock emails as supplies stay limited and many immersive games require controllers.
  • Korean distributor IP Mall launched a business‑only rental program priced at 159,000 won (about $110) per day, signaling constrained access in the short term.
