XR headset from Samsung to challenge Apple Vision Pro
A premium XR headset from Samsung is likely to challenge Apple’s Vision Pro with superior resolution and colour accuracy.
Samsung’s upcoming XR headset is expected to feature a 4K micro-OLED display from Sony, according to recent reports.
The 1.35-inch screen is slightly smaller than Apple’s Vision Pro but offers a higher resolution and a wider colour gamut.
The Vision Pro has struggled to gain mass appeal due to its high price, leaving space for rivals to introduce alternatives.
Samsung’s device is likely to be positioned as a direct competitor, offering premium features at a potentially more accessible price point.
Other companies are also preparing to challenge Apple in the XR space. Sony’s high-end model is already available, and Meta is reportedly expanding its Quest lineup. Samsung has hinted at additional smart glasses, though details remain scarce.
Apple may respond with an updated Vision Pro, adding to the competition in the XR market. With several key players developing new headsets, 2025 could be a defining year for immersive technology.
