Samsung XR headset reportedly delayed again – I’m starting to worry it’ll never come
Will we ever see the Samsung XR headset? That’s the question I’m left asking after yet another report that the rumored XR hardware collaboration Samsung and Google have been working on is delayed – this time saying it won’t arrive until 2025 or perhaps even 2026.
Samsung Is Reportedly Delaying Its Android XR Headset Even Further
Previous reports paint Samsung's headset as an Apple Vision Pro competitor, and Daily Korea reports that Samsung no longer feels an urgency to release it soon given LG withdrawing from its plan to release a high-end Meta Horizon OS headset in 2025 and Apple reportedly suspending work on Vision Pro 2 to focus on a cheaper headset first.
Daily Korea's report comes two months after Business Insider's Hugh Langley, who previously revealed the existence of the Android XR operating system before it was publicly known, reported that the headset had been delayed to March 2025, with developer kit distribution planned for October. Daily Korea references this early reporting and suggests the headset is now delayed even further.
