That’s because the patent describes “electronic devices” which “may be AR glasses and/or a head-mounted device.” This suggests that at this time Samsung is either unsure what kind of XR device it should release, or that it is working on both a Samsung XR headset as well as AR glasses to compete with the likes of the Meta Orion AR glasses.

Samsung's upcoming mixed-reality device, which it is developing alongside Google and Qualcomm, might come in multiple form factors

Samsung has filed a new patent for what appears to be an Augmented Reality (AR) headset. It hints at the design, purpose, and even use cases.

Samsung has seemingly confirmed that its XR hardware was delayed after all, but simultaneously revealed that its long-awaited VR/AR device will still land “in the future” – with its inclusion in Samsung’s 2025 outlook suggesting a launch sometime next year.
