- Google and Samsung are working together to build an immersive XR platform.
- The platform is for Samsung’s XR headset.

Despite multiple companies shifting their focus from extended reality (XR) to AI, Samsung is still charging full steam ahead with its XR ambitions. And after Google’s I/O event, we now know a little more about the upcoming Samsung XR headset.
Back in February, during Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event, the company teased that it was working on XR devices. Outside of announcing that the hardware is in development, minimal details were given at the press conference. However, the tech giant did reveal that it was forming partnerships with a handful of companies to support the device, including Google.
