"Samsung XR" is a VR headset running "Android XR". Being called "XR" I would expect it would have AR abilities but the website makes no mention of it, or even passthrough, that I could see.
We also have a number of XR widgets which are not enabled by default (Holodeck for example).
They will be turned on soon in a pro version so if thats what you're looking for I am delighted!
Thank you! I believe you. If you work at Samsung, maybe you can get them to make the "Galaxy XR" landing page mention passthrough then? Because if it does, I missed it.
While we're at it, Samsung may have its reasons to mention "Google Photos" prominently as the first concrete application, but to me as a user that decoded as "ok they have no games to speak of." (I don't know if that's true, but that's how it comes across).
Its is a fully networked PC it even runs ROS and AI just like a normal computer. It has OpenGLES acceleration so can run 3D graphics or AI stacks. Its main use is for in-world robotics simulations. We have holodeck and NPC components as extensions which allow a complete sim for Robotics.
Some of this you can see in my X posts (old twitter)- we have emulated many systems under Linux from IBM 360 through to RiscV verilator. Even drones running Ardupilot. It's incredibly powerful.
For thise who, like me, needed context:

The PC is in a passthrough environment with the screen floating in mid air. I use it on a daily basis.
This is our promo video and its very clear it's in XR with passthrough. https://studio.youtube.com/video/At7KdrGfTTg

Try the download if you don't believe me.

OP, this is a neat tech demo, but I'm curious what the practical use would be?

better yet download it, it speaks for itself.
FYI- If you look very closely at the video tile on the bottom left you will see XR inside XR. You can't get that capability anywhere else.
XR means "VR or AR". Having a passthrough window inside of a VR environment has been done before.
If you meant something else then I apologize for the misunderstanding (on phone, not going to be able to see fine detail in a video).
