Galaxy XR

Samsung's Galaxy XR runs Android XR on Micro-OLED displays at 545 g, for far less than a Vision Pro.

Buying call

Buy the Galaxy XR if you want a Vision Pro-style headset for Android, Google apps and media for far less than Apple's, because it pairs 4K Micro-OLED displays at 4,032 PPI (Samsung claim) with Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2, eye and hand tracking and Gemini built into Android XR. Samsung rates the headset at 545 g with its forehead cushion, lighter than the Vision Pro M5's 750 to 800 g, and the battery rides in a separate wired pack rated at 2 hours of general use and 2.5 hours of video. Controllers cost extra, and Android XR's VR game library is far smaller than Meta's. Skip it if you mainly want to play games, since the far cheaper Quest 3 does that better.
