![]() ![]() ![]() If a Samsung headset can offer many of the Vision Pro’s features at a fraction of its cost – with rumors teasing it might cost closer to $1,000 / £1,000 / AU$1,500 – then it could be onto a winner. Sure, borrowing some of its cues could be smart, but mimic it too heavily and you’ll end up copying its biggest flaw – the sky-high price of $3,499 (around £2,800 / AU$5,300). Not being a Vision Pro rival isn’t necessarily a bad thing, however. After seeing the Vision Pro announcement we can see why Samsung might want to go back to the drawing board. The specs are fine, but not in the same league as the Apple headset, and the design is significantly more bulky. This leaked Samsung prototype isn’t close to being a Vision Pro competitor. No controllers are included with the images so it appears that much like the Vision Pro the Samsung XR device would use hand and eye-tracking controls by default. The images it posted look a lot like a typical VR headset – such as the Oculus Quest 2 – with it apparently featuring four tracking cameras, dual RGB cameras, and a depth sensor for full-color passthrough. The only way to view the original is using the Way Back Machine which has archived the original. The leak was first posted by the Chinese publication Vrtuoluo, but the article has been deleted (via Android Authority). Instead, this is what Samsung was working on until it saw the Apple Vision Pro and decided to start over. This new leaked prototype (assuming it’s real) gives us an insight into Samsung’s design philosophy, though according to the leaks it’s not an in-development prototype. Very little is know about Samsung’s latest XR efforts, though it’s expected to be a standalone device rather than something powered by smartphones like its old Gear VR headsets. ![]()
