Samsung’s Galaxy XR headset has entered the UK market after earlier releases in Korea and the US. The model is now available from Samsung’s online store, with pre‑orders opening in mid‑June. Retailers list the device at £1,699. A limited‑time offer includes an “Explorer Pack” valued at £665, which bundles 12 months of Google AI Pro, You Tube Premium, Google Play Pass, Calm Premium, Project Pulsar by Adobe, NFL PRO ERA, and the Asteroid immersive experience.

The headset delivers up to 2.5 hours of battery life on a single charge. It runs on a Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chipset and shows scenes on 4K Micro‑OLED screens, offering sharp detail and low latency for mixed‑reality applications.

Optional accessories—Galaxy XR Travel Case and Controllers—sell for £249 each, but shoppers receive a 30 % discount until September 30. Buyers can also secure a 10 % discount on the headset when pairing it with any Galaxy smartphone before August 4, and similar savings on Galaxy Watch or Buds through September 30.

The UK launch positions Samsung against Meta and Apple in the VR space, bringing a premium price point into a market that has largely favored lower‑cost headsets. By bundling subscriptions and offering accessory rebates, Samsung aims to justify the £1,699 price and attract early adopters willing to pay for high‑resolution displays and a robust software ecosystem.
