CYWe often say “XR hasn’t reached mass adoption yet.”
But after trying the Galaxy XR, I’m starting to think we might be framing the question wrong.
Because the ecosystem is already here.
Apple, Google, and Meta are all competing for the same user base: smartphone users.
At the same time, Pico and HTC continue to build strong positions in enterprise.
What stood out to me wasn’t just the hardware, but the experience.
It felt familiar:
Simple to navigate. Close to using a phone.
And surprisingly, the presence of 2D mobile apps worked well within XR.
For years, XR has been positioned as a replacement. A leap. Something new users need to learn.
But what if that’s not the path to adoption?
What if XR becomes an extension of the phone instead, something that builds on existing behaviors rather than replacing them?
That’s where it starts to feel scalable.
Curious how others are thinking about this:
Would you use XR as an extension of your phone?
Because with smart glasses, that’s the status quo!
