Samsung presents its Galaxy XR headset with swappable battery
Samsung has officially entered the extended reality market with the launch of the Galaxy XR, a device that promises to compete directly with the sector's leading manufacturers. The confirmed availability date is October 21, 2025, giving developers and enthusiasts plenty of time to prepare content and applications. 🚀
Advanced visual technology
The Galaxy XR incorporates micro-OLED displays with independent 4K resolution for each eye, virtually eliminating the screen door effect that affects many current devices. The eye tracking system enables more natural interaction and foveated rendering that optimizes performance by rendering at maximum quality only in the area where the user is looking. Complementing this experience, hand gesture tracking facilitates interaction with the virtual environment without the need for physical controllers in many applications. 👁️
Main features:- Micro-OLED displays with 4K resolution per eye for exceptional visual clarity
- Eye tracking system for foveated rendering and intuitive interaction
- Hand gesture tracking for controller-free control in many applications
This practical approach shows that Samsung has listened to common complaints about other devices on the market and has sought concrete solutions.
Revolutionary battery life
One of the standout features is the swappable battery, a feature that solves one of the main drawbacks of extended reality devices: limited battery life. Users will be able to carry spare batteries and swap them easily, extending usage sessions virtually indefinitely. 🔋
Advantages of the swappable battery:- Ability to carry additional batteries for extended sessions
- Quick and easy swapping without interrupting the user experience
- Practical solution to battery life issues in XR devices
Final considerations
The only question left hanging is the price of spare batteries, hoping they don't cost as much as the full headset. As users comment, in that case it would be more practical to buy two headsets and use one while the other charges. At least we can blame the battery and not ourselves when we lose in multiplayer games. 😄 The Galaxy XR represents a significant step in the evolution of extended reality, combining advanced technology with practical solutions for users.
