Samsung Galaxy XR Headset: Launch Timeline and Price (Expected)
Industry reports suggest that Samsung may launch the Galaxy XR headset first in South Korea on October 21, though it is unclear whether a global rollout will follow immediately. Pricing is still uncertain, but estimates suggest it could range between 2.5 million and 4 million Korean won (approximately $1,800 to $2,900). This pricing would position the Galaxy XR below Apple’s $3,500 Vision Pro but well above the Meta Quest 3, which retails for about $500.
