Samsung Galaxy XR: Everything from today’s big launch

Samsung finally made Galaxy XR a reality after teasing the headset for a couple of years. The company’s efforts and its hard work in partnership with Qualcomm and Google may finally pay off. Galaxy XR was announced at a virtual event earlier today.

Galaxy XR is the first Samsung headset in a decade. It was announced ten years after the introduction of the Gear VR, but needless to say, Galaxy XR is a different type of device and far more advanced than its spiritual predecessor.
