Google to hold the next Google I/O Developer Conference on May 14. Recently, the company posted on the social platform. The company is cooperating with Qualcomm and Samsung to develop Samsung’s upcoming XR head display, the information related to the AR head display released by Google is likely to be directly related to Samsung’s new products. In other words, Google may reveal some of the features of the Samsung XR headset at the Google I/O 2024 conference.
Samsung announced the news of cooperating with Google and Qualcomm to develop XR headsets as early as February 2023. Since then, there have been constant rumors about this upcoming product, including that Samsung has set up a special team for this purpose. And the headset may be released together with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 in July this year.
It is reported that Samsung’s XR headset may use Google ’s Android -based XR operating system, Qualcomm’s latest flagship XR processor Snapdragon XR 2+ Gen 2, and Sony’s micro-OLED display.
It is widely expected that Samsung’s upcoming XR headset will be priced much lower than Apple’s Vision Pro, which may mean that its price will be similar to Meta Quest 3.
Therefore, the main competitor of Samsung’s new product should be Meta Quest 3 rather than Apple Vision Pro. But even so, people will still compare these two products, even though their selling prices will be very different.
