Samsung and Google have officially launched their collaborative mixed-reality headset, the Galaxy XR, positioning it as a direct competitor to Apple’s premium Vision Pro. Priced at $1,800, the device enters the market at roughly half the cost of its Apple counterpart, aiming to make advanced mixed-reality technology more accessible to a broader audience. This strategic pricing reflects a clear effort to attract consumer interest in a product category that has historically struggled to gain mainstream traction.
Previously known under the development codename “Project Moohan,” which was first hinted at last December, the headset has now been fully unveiled with its official branding, final specifications, and comprehensive feature set. The launch represents a significant move by Samsung Electronics and Alphabet’s Google to challenge Apple’s dominance in the high-end mixed-reality space, offering a comparable experience at a much lower price point.
