Here's 3000 words on my brief time with Samsung Galaxy XR at the launch event. Samsung isn't providing UploadVR a review unit, so we've now ordered our own. We'll have a full review of the headset in November, and the controllers in December.
UploadVR's David Heaney briefly tried Samsung Galaxy XR and its Android XR operating system at the launch event in New York. Read his impressions here:

I know this sounds like hyperbole but the dual strap band alone makes the M2 Apple Vision Pro feel like a brand new headset.

I briefly tried Samsung Galaxy XR at its launch event in New York last week, and I have mixed initial thoughts about the first Android XR headset.

âThe strangest thing about Android XR is that by default, it doesn't use the gaze-and-pinch interaction system.â This is what puzzles me the mostâthey even kept it turned off throughout the entire demo at the press conference.

My guy @Heaney555 always has amazing write ups. Seems to be a lot of interesting design decisions with this hmd. Can't wait to test it myself.

David is a very clear and level head in the industry. Direct and honest impressions of a device are important.

Just after Apple & Samsung announce controllers for their headsets are $250, Meta offers an entire standalone headset with theirs for the same price.
Quest 3S is on sale for $250 today from Meta, or you can grab the 256GB storage model for $330: https://t.co/6Z8LNtq3IN

A very good game and a good alternative for #VR players of Magic/Hearthstone fans. It's been a long time since I've played it on my #Quest3, but I'm delighted to see that new expansions have been released recently.
Cards & Tankards recently expanded the free-to-play title with a new social hub, further board games, and more in a major update. Details here: https://t.co/crJ9wKAeit

Turns out people like controllers. Who knew?

Quest Pro just came out at the wrong time. Just 3 years later, $1500 is now a far more palatable price point, provided it had the XR2+ and the better passthrough expected in 2025.

I admit that I went in for a quick impulse buy but that sobered when I saw the controllers were sold out.

An avoidable consequence of not including the controllers in the box.
