- A developer version of Google and Samsung’s XR device might launch in October, while a consumer model might only launch in March 2025.
- It’s believed Google won’t make first-party XR glasses, but there is speculation Samsung will launch glasses featuring Google software.
Google, Samsung, and Qualcomm have been working on an XR platform for a while now, with Samsung recently noting that it was “coming this year.” Unfortunately, it looks like we’ll need to wait a while for broad availability.
Business Insider reports that Google and Samsung are building a mixed-reality headset that’s similar to Apple’s Vision Pro device. The outlet claims a developer version will be released in October while a consumer model will be released in March 2025. The website adds that the device was initially planned to launch in Q1 2024 before it was delayed. This lines up with previous reports on the release schedule.
