Editor’s Intro
If you thought spatial computing was destined to stay expensive and experimental, Samsung just moved the goalposts. The new Galaxy XR brings Android XR, Gemini AI, and enterprise-ready pricing into the same sentence – and suddenly mixed reality looks less like a novelty and more like a strategic investment.
Following the Galaxy XR’s success, all eyes now turn to the next battleground: Android XR smart glasses. Google, Samsung, and Qualcomm are leading a new wave of AI-enhanced eyewear that’s set to blend fashion, function, and enterprise readiness.
Meanwhile, over at Meta, Mark Zuckerberg seems determined to prove that smart glasses are the next smartphone. His Reality Labs division may have racked up $70 billion in losses, but the new Ray-Ban Meta Display glasses suggest he might be closer than it looks.
Lenovo is quietly doing what buyers actually need: making content creation and deployment less painful. Their European push with Hevolus means teachers, trainers, and field teams can build usable XR in minutes, not months.
All that (and more) below – curated for people who care about efficiency, growth, and the business case, not just the gadgets.
Enjoy!
