A newly spotted battery could be intended for the Extended Reality device that Samsung is working on.
If you watched Samsung Unpacked 2023 earlier this week, you’ll know that the company announced a new initiative in the field of Extended Reality, or XR. What we didn’t get were any details of an actual physical product – which is where a new leak comes in.
As spotted by GalaxyClub (opens in new tab) (via SamMobile (opens in new tab)), a battery that has just passed through regulatory certification in South Korea matches up with a particular model number that the rumor mill associated with an upcoming Samsung device last year.
That device, with the model number SM-I120, was thought to be some kind of AR/VR wearable. Add in the announcement at Samsung Unpacked, and the appearance of this battery module, and it looks likely that this hardware product is on the way.
We can’t glean all that much information from this battery leak – we don’t know the capacity, for example – but it points to a standalone device that can work independently, without a connection to a computer or a smartphone.
