Despite a lower price tag than competitors, Samsung’s Galaxy XR headset includes a full set of in-box accessories, including a charger, battery pack, and comfort-focused extras.
Galaxy XR Includes Charger and Full Accessory Set
Samsung’s new Galaxy XR headset, priced at £1,799, arrives with a surprising twist—it includes a 25W charger in the box.
- This marks a notable exception to Samsung’s recent trend of removing chargers from smartphone packaging.
- Even though the Galaxy XR costs half as much as the Apple Vision Pro, it offers a comprehensive set of accessories to support usability and comfort.
The move demonstrates Samsung’s intent to offer a complete out-of-box experience for early adopters of its extended reality platform.
Here’s What’s Inside the Galaxy XR Box
The Galaxy XR headset comes bundled with several essential and comfort-enhancing items:
- Galaxy XR headset
- 25W USB-C PD PPS wall charger
- USB Type-C to Type-C cable
- Battery pack (used to power the headset)
- Power cable
- Lens cleaning cloth
- Light shields (left and right)
- Forehead cushion
- Cushion size adjusters
- Protective cover
- Quick start guide
These items ensure that users can immediately power, wear, and maintain their headset without needing to purchase additional accessories.
Power Setup: No Internal Battery, External Pack Included
Unlike some VR devices, the Galaxy XR doesn’t have a built-in battery. Instead, it runs off the included external battery pack.
- A single full charge provides approximately two hours of mixed-use time.
- This is comparable to battery life on the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3S.
- Power is delivered via the USB-C cable and 25W charger, both provided in the box.
Samsung’s design ensures lightweight comfort by offloading the power source externally while still offering portability.
Free Explorer Pack for Early Buyers
Customers who purchase the Galaxy XR before the end of 2025 will receive the Explorer Pack—an exclusive bundle valued at over $1,140.
- Includes a 1-year subscription to:
- Google AI Pro
- YouTube Music
- YouTube Premium
- Adobe Project Pulsar (AI-powered video editing tool)
This offer adds significant value to the headset, enhancing both entertainment and productivity.
Samsung Takes a User-First Approach
By including all essential accessories—and even luxuries like a lens cloth and comfort cushions—Samsung signals a user-focused approach in its entry into the XR space.
- While phone buyers now expect to bring their own chargers, Galaxy XR users will appreciate a ready-to-use experience.
- This may help Samsung differentiate from Apple and Meta by delivering more value out of the box.
Samsung’s Galaxy XR headset includes a charger, battery pack, and comfort accessories in the box—despite costing half as much as the Vision Pro. Early buyers also get the $1,140 Explorer Pack with access to Google AI, YouTube Premium, and Adobe’s Project Pulsar.
