Samsung is said to be working on a yet-to-be-named VR (Virtual reality) headset to take on the likes of the Meta Quest lineup and Apple Vision Pro. 91mobiles has spotted the said device on the Geekbench website.

From the listing, we learn the device runs on Android 14 and has a hexa-core processor with a base clock speed of 2.36 GHz. From the looks of it, this could be the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 SoC (launched at the beginning of this year). As per this chip’s product page, it has 4 + 2 performance cores with a frequency of up to 2.4 GHz and an Adreno 740 GPU.

Previously, noted tipster Roland Quandt had revealed the Samsung VR headset could carry the model number SM-I130. Meanwhile, there’s some speculation that the full-blown headset could have the model number SM-I610 and SM-I130 may be its controller. This speculation doesn’t make sense in this context as the Geekbench posting tells the device has 16GB RAM. A controller wouldn’t need this much memory.
