Pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy XR have begun in the UK, following a limited rollout in the US. This headset, which utilizes the Snapdragon XR+ Gen 2 chip and features a 4K micro-OLED screen, is priced at £1,699 and is scheduled for shipment starting July 8, 2026.
While its initial release has not garnered significant acclaim, Samsung has introduced multiple updates aimed at improving user experience, whether as a standalone device or in conjunction with Windows PCs, with potential future support for MacOS. The hardware remains unchanged from its US version, maintaining the same specifications and capabilities.
To promote the Galaxy XR, Samsung UK is organizing a series of experience events in major locations, including Manchester and Westfield London, offering fans an opportunity to interact with the headset starting today.
