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

Calendar 10/28/2025

Samsung and Google unveil Galaxy XR – a headset powered by Android XR and Gemini AI. A new era of spatial work, entertainment, and discovery begins.

Samsung and Google have officially entered a new era of spatial computing. Their joint creation — 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 Android XR, a new spatial system from Google that bridges 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 “an infinite screen for discovering apps, with Gemini by your side” – and it’s not just marketing. In practice, Gemini not only answers questions but “sees” what you’re doing.

• Are you watching a movie on YouTube? Ask about the actor who just appeared on screen.

• Are you exploring a city in Immersive View on Google Maps? Look at the landmark and say: “what is this?”.

• Are you working in Chrome, Meet, and Docs? Just use the command: “organize 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 solid hardware

For Google, it's more than just hardware – it's a vehicle for artificial intelligence that is no longer confined to the phone. 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 pack “Explorer Pack” with a one-year subscription to:

  • Gemini Advanced (Google AI Pro),

  • YouTube Premium,

  • Google Play Pass,

  • NBA League Pass.

It's a strategy in the style of Apple: not just to sell hardware but to keep the user in the ecosystem.

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

Galaxy XR shows that "augmented reality" is no longer a gadget for geeks. It’s a new way to work, watch, and search for information in the AI era. Gemini is becoming part of everyday life — literally within reach of sight.

Summary

Galaxy XR is the first device that realistically shows where Google is headed: 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 actually replace a monitor, laptop, and smartphone.
