News & Reviews:   XR headset

Did you know that it's possible for some phones to be modded? Modding can change the looks and functions of a phone's UI, so you could even avoid bloatware. Samsung isn't a fan of this, but its new Galaxy XR headset could allow custom ROMs.

Most folks might not remember, but Samsung used to make VR (virtual reality) headsets back in the 2010s. In December 2024, we finally heard news of a new Samsung XR (eXtended Reality) headset. However, it's only now that we have a likely release window for the product.

In an era with brands that love copying others, when is something not worth copying? Obviously, the answer is likely "when it's not profitable". For Meta, it dropped a planned headset like a hot potato.

With the Apple Vision Pro soon to be released, you may wonder, "What exactly can I do with this?" Previously, you'd mostly get the broad strokes of what the device can achieve. But now we have news on specific apps it supports.

If you looked at the Apple Vision Pro and thought, "I need an alternative", you're probably not alone. But besides the Meta Quest series headsets, the other option would be the Samsung Extended Reality (XR) headset, which might not arrive on schedule.

Apple's first mixed reality (XR) headset could see the light sooner than we thought. According to the latest report, the device would enter mass production in March 2023, with the launch scheduled for April.
