Samsung ready to challenge Apple: Get ready for their XR earbuds in 2025
Samsung is gearing up to launch its own XR (extended reality) headset, with a focus on improving connectivity between products. This move will likely introduce a competitor to existing devices like the Meta Quest and Apple’s rumored headset.
Samsung is now in a rush to release its XR headset, especially after LG’s premium headset plan fell through and Apple shifted focus to a more affordable version.
Partnering with Qualcomm for the chip and possibly using Google’s platform, Samsung is revamping its XR headset design to compete with the Meta Quest. Google is expected to host apps specifically for XR headsets, indicating Samsung’s strategic plans in the Android-based XR market.
While details on the features and pricing of Samsung’s XR headset remain scarce, reports suggest it could be priced between $1,000 and $1,500, offering competitive features compared to Apple’s more expensive headset. With promises of a release before the end of 2024, we eagerly await further announcements from Samsung and Google in the XR space.
