Samsung and Google join forces: Galaxy XR for 8,299 PLN is set to replace everything!

Samsung and Google have officially entered a new era of spatial computing. Their joint offspring — Galaxy XR — costs 1,799 USD and has one goal: to replace every screen you know. This is not just another VR headset. It is the first device with the Android XR system, a new spatial system from Google that merges the real world with the digital. The Galaxy XR features built-in Gemini artificial intelligence, 4K micro-OLED displays, and supports gestures, voice, and eye movement.

Android XR – a new chapter in Google’s history

Google calls the Galaxy XR a “limitless screen for exploring apps, with Gemini by your side” – and this is not just marketing. In practice, Gemini not only answers questions but also “sees” what you are doing.

• Watching a film on YouTube? Ask about the actor who just appeared on screen.

• Exploring a city in Immersive View on Google Maps? Look at the monument and say: “what is this?”.

• Working in Chrome, Meet, and Docs? Just say the command: “organise this”, and Gemini will arrange the windows in space.

This is an example of contextual computing, which Apple dreamed of at the launch of Vision Pro – only this time with the full power of the Android ecosystem and Google services.

Samsung is back in the game – Google finally makes decent hardware

For Google, this is more than just hardware – it's a vehicle for artificial intelligence, which is no longer confined to phones. For Samsung, on the other hand, the Galaxy XR is an opportunity to return to the top in a category it hasn't dominated since the Galaxy Gear VR. The Galaxy XR is meant to be more than just competition for Apple Vision Pro or Meta Quest. It offers full access to Android applications, integration with Google services, and a starter kit “Explorer Pack” with a year's access to:

• Gemini Advanced (Google AI Pro),

• YouTube Premium,

• Google Play Pass,

• NBA League Pass.

It's an Apple-style strategy: not just to sell hardware, but also to keep the user within the ecosystem.

XR is no longer VR. It’s a new definition of work and entertainment

Galaxy XR shows that “augmented reality” is ceasing to be a gadget for geeks. It’s a new way of working, watching and searching for information in the age of AI. Gemini is becoming part of everyday life — literally within reach.

Summary

Galaxy XR is the first device that realistically shows where Google is heading: AI not just in the phone, but in the space around us. Samsung provides the hardware, Google – the software and intelligence. Together, they create something that could genuinely replace a monitor, laptop, and smartphone.
