The Galaxy S25 will be the star of Samsung’s Unpacked event in mid-January, but the keynote might bring a few more interesting surprises. One is the Galaxy S25 Slim, an ultra-thin version of the Galaxy S25 that will compete against the upcoming iPhone 17 Air. The other surprise announcement that might drop at the end of the main Galaxy S25 presentation is Samsung’s first XR headset, which has been in the making for at least a couple of years.
A report a few days ago said the XR headset will not be the Vision Pro rival we once thought it might be. Instead, Samsung is focused on smart glasses like Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses. We may have even seen a prototype of the Samsung device during Google’s Gemini presentation at I/O in May (pictured below).
We now have a different leak from South Korea that provides a timeline for the Samsung XR headset. The gadget might be unveiled at Unpacked, but Samsung won’t release it until the second half of 2025. More interesting is a claim that the XR headset will feature augmented reality (AR) capabilities.
