Samsung Galaxy XR Evolves Work in the AI Era With New Enterprise Capabilities and Everyday Features

Samsung Electronics today announced a key software update for Galaxy XR, adding enterprise-ready capabilities through Android Enterprise and improving everyday user experiences with several usability upgrades. With this latest firmware release, Android XR will now receive regular software updates, including security patches, for up to five years¹ — underscoring Samsung and its partners commitment to long-term performance, security and innovation on the XR platform launched in October 2025.

Advancing XR With Android Enterprise Support

Starting from Galaxy XR, Android XR now supports Android Enterprise, extending the trusted management framework used across millions of Android devices into immersive environments. This update brings enterprise-grade control and efficiency to Galaxy XR, creating a scalable foundation for real-world deployments across industries including training, manufacturing, healthcare and retail. With Samsung Knox on Android Enterprise, it also guarantees strict device security. Features include:

• Support for fully managed and dedicated device use cases, giving organizations greater control of Galaxy XR devices in corporate owned deployments.
• Device enrollment methods including Android zero-touch, QR code setup and Device Policy Controller (DPC) identifier provisioning, simplifying large-scale rollouts from day one.
• Enterprise app management using Managed Google Play and support for direct installation, making it easy to deploy and update XR applications.
• Core device management features including setting password policies, network configurations, device restrictions and remote lock or wipe, which help devices remain protected in any environment.
• Hardware-level protections to meet relevant compliance and security standards on safeguarding sensitive enterprise data.

“Our vision for XR extends beyond hardware — it’s about building a secure, scalable ecosystem informed by our users,” said James Choi, EVP and Head of XR R&D Team, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “With Android Enterprise support and ongoing platform upgrades, Galaxy XR demonstrates how real-world use cases across work, discovery and play influence our direction.”

“The expansion of Android Enterprise to Android XR brings the trusted security and management framework IT professionals rely on for millions of Android devices to the new era of spatial computing, starting with Samsung Galaxy XR,” said David Still, VP in charge of Product & Engineering, Android Enterprise at Google. “This standardized foundation is what organizations need to confidently secure and scale XR deployments.”

New Enhancements for Everyday Users

Alongside new enterprise capabilities, the latest Android XR update brings thoughtful improvements to everyday experiences — enhancing comfort, preserving workflow continuity, expanding accessibility and unlocking more immersive ways to view content. Features include:

• Enhanced virtual keyboard positioning to let users save alternate keyboard positions at their chosen vertical position and depth for a more personalized experience.
• Desktop session restore which automatically reopens up to three previously used apps in their original layout after rebooting, helping users seamlessly jump back into work or entertainment.
• Expanded accessibility features like single eye tracking² and pointer customization, making Galaxy XR more inclusive and adaptable for a wider range of users with varying sight or mobility needs.
• Wall panel alignment,³ an on-screen guide that makes it easier to accurately line up content within a user’s space, smoothly integrating the screen into physical surroundings.
• Auto Spatialization,⁴ now available in Google Chrome and YouTube, effortlessly converts 2D content into immersive 3D photos and videos.
