Samsung headset development kits will be available in October before a consumer launch in March, Business Insider reports.

In early 2023 Samsung officially announced it was working on an XR headset, with Google handling the system software via a new variant of Android, now known to be called Android XR, and Qualcomm providing the chipset, which it later announced as Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2, a higher-end variant of the base XR2 Gen 2 used in Meta Quest 3. Business Insider’s Hugh Langley, who previously revealed the existence of Android XR before it was publicly known, cites “a person familiar with the internal timeline” as saying the headset was originally set to launch earlier this year, but the current launch timeline is now March 2025.

    I think the headset will probably be some quest wannabe that uses camera based inside out tracking alongside a touch-like controllers and software similar to that of HTC. Bur we will have to wait to find out.
