Speaking of I/O, AC’s Senior Editor Michael Hicks got to take Samung’s XR headset for a spin. He said he enjoyed wearing the headset ,and it was pretty snug on him. While the exact weight of the device is unknown, “the headset felt well-balanced and securely strapped onto my head, thanks to the back knob,” Hick explained.

As for the lens and display, rumors indicate that the headset uses Sony 4K micro-OLED displays with 3,552 × 3,840 resolution, 1,000-nit brightness at 20% power, 96% DCI-P3 color gamut, and 90 FPS.
“It’s exactly as pixel-dense and colorful as you’d hope for. Some apps (like Maps Street View) can’t live up to the resolution potential and appear a bit blurry, but when I watched 4K nature videos on YouTube, I could sink into the landscapes,” Michael added. Lastly, we know that Samsung will integrate the latest smarts of Gemini within the headset, making the device more intuitive for users.
