It is worth remembering that the South Korean had already decided to modify some features of the so-called Galaxy XR due to the model presented by Apple during WWDC23. Now, with this decision, the launch should happen much later than what has been talked regarding lately.

Still in the field of mixed and virtual reality devices, things are not very good for Apple either. This is because the company has faced problems in the production of the device. Including, the situation caused the company to make a cut in manufacturing, reducing it to 400,000 units.


With that, recent news showed the company’s supposed intention to release product sales at a slower pace, even changing the way the item is marketed. As for Samsung, new details regarding the brand’s plans with the Galaxy XR should emerge in the coming weeks.

A new rumor reveals that Samsung is rethinking the specifications of its Galaxy XR headset. For years, the South Korean would be developing the device with a pixel density of 2,000 PPI. However, following seeing the Apple Vision Pro with 3,500 PPI, the South Korean decided that the display of her headset will come with 3,000 PPI.

New samples of the improved display might be manufactured in November, according to tipster @OreXda. A change of this size in the Galaxy XR headset is not simple and if true, Samsung will need to review its supply chain strategy and even postpone its launch.

Another informant claims that Samsung will not be able to launch the Galaxy XR before the end of 2023. If samples of the 3,000 PPI display are not available by November, the South Korean will need to schedule the launch for next year.

Some are betting that a small demo of the Galaxy XR might be revealed at the Unpacked event in July in South Korea, along with the Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Tab S9 and Galaxy Watch 6.
