From https://www.samsung.com/us/xr/galaxy-xr/galaxy-xr/ :

"4K Micro-OLED display with 4,032 PPI and 109°(H) and 100°(V) Fields of View"

Wow. Did not expect higher ppi that Apple Vision Pro.

Lower refresh though, 90Hz at max. Though the device is about hale the price of an Apple Vision Pro.

Vision Pro has been out for almost 2 years now, so I'm not surprised. It's also worth noting that the lenses and engineering decisions around the optics can have way more influence on perceived image quality than just the specs would imply. Here's just one discussion around the challenges and decisions made around optics: https://kguttag.com/2024/03/01/apple-vision-pros-optics-blur...

I'm actually more surprised that Apple's update to Vision Pro was just a CPU bump that failed to address the criticisms people had - namely weight, price, and content/lack of a killer app. The Vision Pro's M5 is roughly 4-7 times faster in Geek Bench than the Galaxy XR's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 so it'll be interesting to see whether the Galaxy XR will be hindered in any way.
