Overview
- Project Aura, co‑developed with XREAL, uses a wired split design with a pocketable computing puck, optical see‑through viewing with a 70° field of view, and the same Android XR software and Snapdragon XR2 Plus Gen 2 chip as Galaxy XR, with a 2026 release window and no pricing disclosed.
- The 2026 lineup includes audio‑only smart glasses with a camera that tap Gemini AI for visual assistance plus a single‑eye microdisplay model that offloads compute to a phone, with dual‑eye XR glasses targeted for 2027.
- Travel Mode for Samsung Galaxy XR stabilizes windows and UI during motion by compensating for vibration and acceleration on planes and trains.
- Likeness introduces hyper‑real avatars for Galaxy XR in Beta, created from a quick smartphone face scan for more lifelike video calls.
- System Autospatialization will convert 2D content to 3D at the OS level starting next year, with Samsung planning integration into One UI XR.
