Finding a price balance between one of the best VR headsets on the market - the Quest 3 - and the expensive luxury of the Apple Vision Pro, the Samsung Galaxy XR is an exciting new mixed-reality device. While it has plenty of games to enjoy, it also balances productivity and entertainment. If you're looking to grab your headset soon, here's where to buy it and what deals are currently available.
While it will take a while (if ever) for the best VR games to finally make their way to the Samsung Galaxy XR, it's still great to see competition. Samsung has been a mainstay on our best gaming phones list for years, with excellent hardware that puts performance above its rivals, and I'm hoping the same can be done with a true Meta Quest competitor.
Where to buy the Samsung Galaxy XR and the best deals
The Samsung Galaxy XR is available to buy on the Samsung store, but it is currently only available in the US and South Korea. It retails for $1,799.99 for the base model, making it a fairly pricey headset, but one that still beats out the Apple Vision Pro's higher price tag.
While there are no current deals on the Galaxy XR, you can pair it with other offers to get a better deal on accessories. For example, the best earbuds for Samsung - the Galaxy Buds3 Pro - are just $174.99 with the headset, and the additional controllers are $175 as opposed to the usual $250 that they will be outside of the bundle.

As the Galaxy XR grows with more users, developers will start porting their games or developing with the headset in mind. As such, I expect this to grow over time.
