Samsung said at the time of the report that it would “improve connectivity between products, including future mixed reality devices.” From the report and some leaks, it is known that Samsung ordered the processor for the headset from Qualcomm, and the software part is handled by Google: the headset will run on the Android XR operating system.
Google wants to collaborate with Samsung to develop apps for XR headphones (eXtending Reality), and the first such Android device will be a headset from Samsung since LG abandoned a similar project.
Analysts say that Samsung can compete with Apple in the headphone market, as Apple has abandoned the development of the new “expensive” generation Vision Pro 2 and is only working on the budget version. As Google’s Senior Vice President of Hardware Rick Osterloh stated at the Galaxy Unpacked 2024 presentation, collaboration with Google will bring its own advantages.
