After a limited launch in the US, the Samsung Galaxy XR is now officially coming to the UK, with pre-orders opening today.
The first Android XR headset hasn’t been a resounding success, but has received a number of updates to enhance the experience as a standalone experience or as the bridge for Windows PC’s and, hopefully, MacOS in the future.
No changes have been made to the hardware; this is the exact same unit that shipped earlier this year in the US. The specs are identical, including a Snapdragon XR+ Gen 2 chip, 4K micro-OLED screen, up to 2.5 hours of battery life, and various tailored experiences that take advantage of the Android XR platform.
While we await news of the next Samsung AR product launch, this tethered experience will be priced at £1,699 and will ship from July 8, 2026. Samsung UK is hosting a series of experience events for fans to get a taster of the Galaxy XR headset in Manchester, Westfield London, Westfield Stratford, and the flagship Samsung KX store from today.
