Samsung teases Android XR devices coming later this year

Samsung teased its efforts with multimodal AI and new form factors including smart glasses and extended reality (XR) devices.

“We can’t wait to share more details later this year,” said Jay Kim, EVP and head of customer experience at Samsung at the company’s Samsung Galaxy S25 Unpacked event today.

As announced in December, Kim said the company is co-developing Android XR ecosystem with Google to change the way we interact with the physical and virtual worlds. They will define the operating system, user interface and hardware.

But Kim didn’t go into the details on the devices or the ongoing partnership with Google.

“These upcoming XR devices with multimodal AI devices will change the way interface with the phsyical and virtual worlds,” Kim said.

He said Samsung would develop these products with developers and partners.

Google’s Gemini Live AI on Galaxy S25 devices — which have a powerful neural processing unit for on-device AI processing — is a signal of what is coming the future, Kim said. Devices will understand what you see and what you say, he said.
