I’ve been testing Samsung Galaxy XR — and this is the one feature that makes it stand out

Samsung Galaxy XR.

Some day we might all be walking around wearing smart glasses, and now that I’ve been testing the Galaxy XR, I have a pretty good sense of how they might work. This mixed reality headset has been a mixed bag so far (full review to come), but it has a secret weapon no other device can match right now. And it actually changes the way I think about AI and AR and how they’re colliding — in a good way.

I’m talking about Gemini Live, which is the AI assistant that’s built right into the Galaxy XR. All you have to do is long-press the top right button on the headset (or say “Hey, Google) and you can start chatting with Gemini. Even better, you can share your screen with Gemini so it can “see” whatever you see. And it’s a potential game changer for how this category evolves.
