    4K in a VR headset is wild and amazing! I fell in love with the tech once I put it on. Pictures are clear and life like the movie playback is crisp and clear. I'm so happy I got this

    Truly deserves all the praise and love. Everything about this headset is well built, without compromising on a lighter design. The 4k displays make a huge difference and is insanely noticeable if you have used other headsets. I have used the Index, Quest pro, quest 2, odyssey.... great addition!

    The Galaxy XR has incredible potential, and there’s a lot to love about it — especially the design and performance. The headset looks and feels premium, and overall performance is smooth and responsive. The image quality is excellent, and watching content in full VR mode is truly impressive. The passthrough video is outstanding — it’s so clear that you can see your hands naturally and almost forget you’re wearing a headset. Being able to see my phone and tablet inside the headset is also very cool. However, several limitat...

    I chose the Samsung Galaxy XR because I wanted a VR experience that could do more than just gaming, and it has definitely impressed me. The visuals are incredibly clear and immersive, and the ability to use eye tracking, hand gestures, and voice makes everything feel much more natural. I use it for gaming, watching movies and videos, exploring different environments, and even getting work done with multiple virtual screens. The mixed reality features are also really cool because I can switch between seeing my surroundings a...

    I'll compare this based on experience with Quest 3 and Vision Pro. 🔴I like it! Going to keep it with the knowledge that the software will improve. I think the hardware is pretty much there with some exceptions. 🔴Samsung straight up lied, Gemini is not at the core of this, it can't open apps, close apps, call people, text people, it doesn't even know anything about the device; the Only thing Gemini can currently do is google search and organize your windows. I'm sure it is at the core they just haven't opened it up to doin...

    As my first VR headset device ever, I enjoy using it a lot. Setup was easy, loved how easy it was to interact with apps and content. No stutter or lag. The Iris recognition is an amazing thing to have in adding that security and not worry over someone getting on and messing with things. One thing that needs improvement is working with Steam VR and Game Link as there's always the issue of SteamVR bot recognizing the headset and controllers sometimes. Take notes from the Virtual Desktop app as it performs so much better on that front, especially with being able to view and use my PC. I 100% support this device even w...

    Received the device about 36 hours ago, so these are just general first impressions. Unboxing was beautiful lol. Everything was packaged nicely and rather easy to take out of the box and put together. Set up was fairly simple especially with a Galaxy device (I have a S25 Ultra). Loving the quality of the display so far and the ease of use. Multiple windows for multitasking is pretty cool so far. Also, I was able to check out some 8k content on YouTube and it looks amazing. I wear glasses and I tried them on with the headset...

    Best lenses and displays. On par with Pimax Crystal Super OLED. But useless for me because it doesn't work well with PCVR. You must make it work with Steam VR 2.0, you must make the Gemini stoppable from background and you should IMMEDIATELY upgrade it's CPU to XR3, just like Valve did. Then this will win over the Play For Dream, because that has bad FOV. Then you will sell 5000 units to PCVR gamers, because that should be your main target.
