Samsung has equipped the Galaxy XR with a Micro-OLED display with a resolution of 3,552 x 3,840 per eye, totaling 27 million pixels. This represents enormous visual fidelity, and the 6.3 micron pixel pitch should result in incredibly sharp visuals. The screen supports multiple refresh rates, including 60Hz, 72Hz and 90Hz by default, giving you a smooth and comfortable experience.

For color accuracy, the display achieves an impressive 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, which is excellent for media consumption. The field of view is also quite generous, offering 109 degrees horizontally and 100 degrees vertically.

Samsung bundles an incredible amount of premium services and full-featured games with the purchase of the Galaxy XR, and the total value is substantial.

You get 12 months of Google AI Pro for home, with a declared value of almost $240. If you’re a sports fan, you get the full NFL PRO ERA game, and perhaps even more impressive, the NBA League Pass for the entire 2025/2026 season, worth $109.99.

Beyond sports, productivity and entertainment subscriptions are covered. You get 12 months of YouTube Premium, worth almost $168, and 12 months of Google Play Pass, ideal for games and mobile apps. Creative buyers will enjoy 12 months of Adobe’s Pulsar project. Even wellness is covered with 12 months of Calm Premium. Additionally, there is a deal for YouTube TV, offering three months for just $1 per month. When you add the full ASTEROID game download, this pack is simply huge.

All this visual data is powered by the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform, paired with 16GB of memory and 256GB of storage. This is a powerful chipset that will be able to handle complex spatial computing tasks and high-resolution video decoding. The Galaxy XR can also handle 8K UHD video playback at 60 frames per second, supporting standards like HDR10 and HLG. You also get Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, which is a fantastic inclusion for low-latency streaming and high-bandwidth applications.

The headset comes with two high-resolution pass-through cameras, six world-facing tracking cameras, and four eye-tracking cameras. The device even supports Iris recognition, which allows users to quickly unlock the device and enter passwords in certain apps.

The device weighs 1.20 lbs with the forehead cushion attached. You can expect up to two hours of general use, or up to 2.5 hours if you’re just watching video content. This is the standard for current-generation XR headsets, and luckily you can continue to use the Galaxy XR while it’s plugged in and charging.

You can get it for $1,800 from the official storefront, or $75 per month.
