Coming to its specifications, the Samsung Galaxy XR headsets could be powered by a Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chipset. The SoC is said to deliver 4.3K resolution images per lens. It could offer 15 percent better GPU performance and 20 percent higher CPU frequency. The chip is said to be more capable of running spatial audio, gestures, AI, and tracking.

Moreover, the rumoured Samsung VR headsets will reportedly run One UI XR out of the box. The design of One UI XR has also been shared. The user interface is said to support most daily use, social media, and video streaming apps. It could also offer a new native Gallery app.

The Samsung Galaxy XR will reportedly sport 4K resolution micro-OLED displays with 4,032ppi pixel density and 29 million pixels. It is said to feature sensors on the front and on the bottom for hand tracking. While the sensors on the inside might support eye tracking. It is also said to be equipped with four cameras for tracking eye movement with the help of infrared LEDs and AI. The wearable might also support voice controls, thanks to the microphones placed on the bottom.

On top of this, the Samsung Galaxy XR headsets might offer 2.5 hours of video playback and 2 hours of general use battery backup. Samsung will reportedly also bundle a pair of controllers with the Galaxy XR headsets. The controllers are said to feature six DoF, along with analog sticks. They will be able to track a user's movements in a three-dimensional environment.

The Samsung Galaxy XR headsets were initially expected to debut on September 29. However, it was recently reported that its launch has now been postponed to October 21. The company reportedly took the step due to an “internal marketing strategy” coordination and quality assurance. The tech firm could be planning to ship about 1,00,000 units of its first VR headsets. Samsung could price the Project Moohan XR headset between KRW 2.5 million (roughly Rs. 1,56,000) and KRW 4 million (about Rs. 2,50,000).
