Samsung to Unveil Apple Vision Pro Competitor Tomorrow

[rbbloom99]

Samsung is ridiculous. Xiaomi too. They just sit around and wait for Apple to start making something, and then they just copy it and tweak it slightly.

Apple already spent millions to 'test market' this product and the results: the market overwellmingly rejected it. The real question is why is Samsung is going down a dead rabbit hole?

 

[contacos]

Rofl. That looks nothing like the AVP nor anything Apple would ever take inspiration from

It's over 8 years old ... You think Apple could have released a AVP in 2016? I am just saying a VR headset is a VR headset. Just with glass instead of plastic on the front nowadays.

This has a higher resolution display compared to Vision Pro, the new m5 should of had a higher resolution display to complete

 

[Macalicious2011]

Hopefully it can be used as a display for PC gaming and supports vrr.

 

[MRSugarD]

DOA

Large displays, OLED screens and more. I could go on. I prefer Apple’s implantation but in most areas Samsung leads and Apple waits to perfect it or implement it in a more useful way. But let’s give Samsung credit where it’s due.

I completely agree with that, I appreciate how Samsung gives users far more options, even more than on stock android in many cases. I find myself using my Galaxy more than my iPhone nowadays.

I'm still waiting on Samsung to unveil its iPhone competitor.

They did it’s called the fold 7 as apple got a foldable phone out yet?

 

[Bigbuddy1]

Really?

Apple sold around 400,000 AVPs. Which yielded around $1.4 Billion in additional revenue for Apple.

If so where is that number published regarding 400,000 AVP sold

There is very good reasons for that from
One UI to quality of their flagship phones and other factors when you compare the longevity over both devices released at same time the Samsung devices hold better performance wise

It was DOA because of its price point not its design or function. Most consumers can’t shell out $4000 for this type item, but most would if they were $1000…

But then it’s a crap device that doesn’t make profit. Meta. We’re definitely not at that point. Competition will help. Everyone should be praising this.

 

[cardfan]

It's not a competitor if it doesn't have the same apps.

The ignorance here. Google makes the vr os. They’re on board.

 

[tomtad]

I'm not sure it needs a competitor

I'm not sure. Even with Meta's discount models this form of computing doesn't appear to be something many people want.

AR headsets will take off most likely once they are portable.

 

[max2]

Headsets remind me of a smartwatch.

"Vision Pro Competitor"...

I don't think anyone is actively trying to compete with the Vision Pro, which is essentially a failed product at this point.

 

[clg82]

Competition is the best thing for consumers

It’s what drives innovation and allows for prices to become more affordable over time - so this is definitely welcome news👌😎

It's wild people downvote this comment lol, it's true, but if it's anything BUT Apple they don't like it.

Still remember palm pdas. It’s early days. People want more content. Having Google on board helps a lot. Forget Samsung. Google is being exclusive for now but that won’t always be the case. That’s not their business

 

[throAU]

Can Samsung do like, anything, without copying it from Apple?

Unless its like a thousand bucks this thing is dead.

 

[Corefile]

That's like saying:

They are completely different product categories.

No it's not. The iGoggles are like binoculars with no long term use case when iGlasses are released. It's common sense evolution.

 

[cardfan]

Unless its like a thousand bucks this thing is dead.

Google vr won’t be limited to one device. Again Samsung is so irrelevant here. People miss the real story

 

[jdawgnoonan]

Samsung copying at this level makes me think I may have been incorrect saying that the VP appears to have been a flop.

 

[tridley68]

Hopefully it will be a bust just as it its was for Apple that will teach them to copy.

 

[mentaluproar]

As much as I'd like competition here, I really dont want it from samsung and google. Their privacy stance is offensively bad.

 

[zilchfox]

I think it’s great to have competition. Competition shows interest in the industry and market, and it will also force companies to not only innovate, but to also keep exploring the AR/VR world.
