Open Collaboration Brings a Scalable Android XR Ecosystem<\/p>\n

As part of a long-term vision for XR, Samsung has built a new XR ecosystem in partnership with Google and Qualcomm, opening new possibilities for the industry.<\/p>\n

Co-developed with Google and Qualcomm, Android XR is a powerful platform that puts AI at the center of the experience. It is designed to scale across a variety of form factors, from headsets to AI glasses and beyond, and Galaxy XR<\/a> benefits from the strength of its open, scalable ecosystem. All apps built on the Android platform work right out of the box[4]<\/a> on Galaxy XR<\/a>, ensuring users can enjoy the familiar mobile experiences they already love and making the device as useful day-to-day as it is groundbreaking. Since the platform is built on OpenXR standards, it\u2019s easy for developers using OpenXR, WebXR, or Unity to bring their experiences to Galaxy XR \u2014 offering them more ways to scale and giving consumers more choices.<\/p>\n

Discover, Work, and Play Without Boundaries <\/p>\n

Galaxy XR<\/a> has been carefully engineered with a human-centric design to deliver long-term comfort. Through a combination of its shape, advanced materials, and the structural optimization of each component, Galaxy XR achieves an optimal balance between lightweight design and robustness for daily use. The headset\u2019s ergonomically balanced frame distributes pressure across the forehead and the back of the head, minimizing facial discomfort while providing steady support. The battery pack is separate from the headset, making the device more compact, light, and comfortable to wear. Galaxy XR<\/a> also features a detachable light shield, offering comfort when removed and deeper immersion by blocking external light when attached. These thoughtful innovations allow Galaxy XR users to fully engage in XR experiences with ease.<\/p>\n

Galaxy XR<\/a> opens entirely new dimensions of discovery, providing a wide array of experiences optimized for XR such as Google Maps, YouTube, Circle to Search, and Google Photos.<\/p>\n
