- A prototype of Samsung’s upcoming XR headset has leaked, giving us a good look at one possible version scheduled to launch in 2024.
- The prototype has four tracking cameras, dual RGB cameras for color passthrough, and a depth sensor. It also does not rely on any controllers.
- With its XR headset, Samsung could target a price range of $1,000-$2,000. However, some reports suggest that this prototype has been canceled in favor of a better product.
Samsung has had a few tries in the AR-VR space, with devices like the Samsung Gear VR once considered one of the best mobile VR headsets. Samsung has ambitions of taking this one step forward with extended reality (XR), with the company officially announcing it is working on a Samsung XR headset at Samsung Unpacked in February 2023. Now, a prototype of the Samsung XR headset has leaked, and we have our first look at the device.
Chinese news website Vrtuoluo posted the specs and images of a Samsung XR headset prototype, but the site has since deleted its report. You can still find the content on Web Archive, though.
