JAKARTA - Samsung plans to dive into a special chip market for Extended Reality (XR) devices. Diklam, as a rare to challenge Qualcomm and Google.

It is known, XR is a general term for all immersive technologies that combine the physical and virtual world. This includes Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR).

According to reports, the Samsung LSI System Division that created the Exynos processor and ISOCELL camera sensor has started making processors for XR devices.

The Exynos processor itself acts as the Central Processing Unit (CPU). However, its System-on-Chip (SoC) series is not designed for XR devices.

Therefore, Samsung plans to design a new chip or modify the existing Exynos line, to match the XR device.

The chip will later be said to be able to provide high performance and low power consumption on devices. Currently, the development of XR devices chips is still led by Qualcomm.

Late last year, Qualcomm just launched a new series of its XR chip, Snapdragon AR2, which is designed for AR glasses, as quoted by GizmoChina, Thursday, June 1.

Qualcomm stated that more than 10 XR device makers are developing their products based on these chips. Obviously, Qualcomm is quite tough to become Samsung's competitor later.
