Samsung is known to be working on a VR headset for a while. In the latest news, 91 Mobiles have spotted a Samsung device with 16GB RAM on the Geekbench database, which is expected to be the VR headset.
The device is believed to be the VR headset and not an upcoming smartphone because most if not all of the smartphone chips used these days equip a total of 8 cores while the listing reveals that the device runs on a 6-core SoC. Interestingly, the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip that is expected to power Samsung’s upcoming VR headset also comes with a 4+2 CPU cluster.
In addition to that, the Geekbench listing reveals that the device runs on a base frequency of 2.36GHz, which is also close to the 2.4 GHz clock speed of the chipset. While
The model number from the Geekbench listing further suggests that this is indeed the VR headset Samsung is working on. Previously, tipster Ronald Quandt noted that this model number represents the VR headset from Samsung.
While these are just rumors, a Samsung device with a 6-core chipset highly suggests it to be the upcoming VR headset from the company. The listing also reveals that the device runs on Android 14. While we don’t know much about the headset yet, a report from last month speculates that the device could run on Android. Patently Apple also previously revealed that Samsung’s VR headsets will run on the Android XR platform.
Speaking of the features we know so far, the device may come with a feature similar to Persona on the Apple Vision Pro. Not to mention, the device will include multiple sensors to observe the environment around it. The device may also offer some health-tracking features.
