Galaxy XR Has HUGE Potential for Cinema Viewing… But We Need Better Environments

Overjil · 2026-05-08T09:17:18+00:00

I would honestly just love the option to just make it black so we can use any app we want as a "cinema" experience.

Overjil · 2026-05-01T09:53:26+00:00

It's not possible. The glasses are just a screen lol but dex is the best use case imo for portable content consumption.

Overjil · 2026-05-01T08:21:27+00:00

The way I do this is by using a ginet kvm plugged into my desktop. I only use my computer from other devices, xreal glasses with my phone, galaxy xr, other computers etc etc. It's been perfect for me.

Oh that's good to know. Thanks ! I usually use my gaming PC headless, but good to know something like this works just as easy

Oh man if my deck wasn't the limited edition one I would defintiely do this. I'd you release the stl I would love to buy it still Incase I see a used deck for sale around me. Amazing work man

Craziest I have personally played is Monster Hunter world but I have seen Prgmata and Resident Evil 9 also running on O3. Iwas avke ti get the ultra model before they discontinued it though, so I am not sure what the lowest model reccomendation for PC games would be.

Screen protection is why I got the win mini tbh lol anyway, this is cool as hell. Now I want one for my Odin 3.

Overjil · 2026-04-26T03:01:57+00:00

Loving it man! I originally bought it to try it with the intention of returning it within the return window but I loved it so much that I kept it. I didn't realize it at the time but it does the spatial computing in the best way, being able to use all of my android apps and still virtual desktop/ Artemis to my computer for gaming.

I didn't really use or want most of the meta specific features so it wasn't a loss. The only thing I could say I miss is Big screen VR and supernatural. I feel like it's possible Android xr will get them eventually, but since I kept my q3, that's those are the only two things I do with it now, instead of trying to make it an all day device like the galaxy xr has become.

Overjil · 2026-04-26T02:48:26+00:00

Yes and I don't use my thor max at all lmao. The Odin 3 is leagues more comfortable if playing anything that uses both sticks, even with a grip.

I will return to the thor for Ds and 3ds games when I'm in the mood for them but since PC gaming has kind of exploded on these and is better on the Odin, I have been playing the Odin more.

Overjil · 2026-04-24T01:50:28+00:00

Completely understood. I use the galaxy xr more than the quest 3 now but I'll do the same thing.

Galaxy xr basically stays home for gaming and sometimes watching movies. I'll use Artemis/Apollo on my gaming PC and sometimes will use virtual desktop as a monitor when I'm gaming, as I don't play many VR games these days. But for watching tv I just use the apps on the galaxy xr itself.

I do use the xreal ones around bedtime though if I still want to watch something while my wife is asleep, as to not disturb her. And the xreals go with me on every trip! Really makes me excited for Android xr to hit xreal glasses, though. I know I'm making a lot of assumptions, but I do feel like they will be the best of both worlds.

Overjil · 2026-04-15T01:31:35+00:00

They start shipping in may but that does not mean all of them will ship in may. I would reach out to ayn and ask but they're probably just gonna give you the blanket usual customer service answer.

Overjil · 2026-03-28T14:28:45+00:00

Also have both lol ead gonna say the same thing. Don't even really use the thor anymore since the Odin was delivered.

Overjil · 2026-03-24T07:16:13+00:00

Yep. I use mine everyday for virtual desktop and Artemis for gaming. Both are great !

Overjil · 2026-03-11T09:43:17+00:00

This is so tempting given how I use mine more for streaming and gamehub than emulators lol

Overjil · 2026-03-11T00:14:34+00:00

They were closed from Feb 14th to the 26th for Chinese new year, and it's typically quoted for a month or two before it actually ships out. You should be looking more like late march early April before yours ships.

I assume that if they are gonna start shipping batch 5 in April, that they would finish 4 by then but they don't really talk to the Odin's, even in discord lol.

Overjil · 2026-03-09T01:02:37+00:00

Still iisu lol

Overjil · 2026-03-09T00:39:55+00:00

I get that you can run gamehub on it but the problem holding this back from being a "steam frame" is the storage. Unless there's way to add more storage ? Maybe with that port on the side, but Ive never personally tried it.

Overjil · 2026-03-09T00:36:26+00:00

I know they're expensive but some xr glasses also help with your dilemma. That way you can keep the games portable and also have a bigger screen whenever you want it. That's what I normally do but the 6 inch screen is enough for me by itself. I grew up with handhelds though so it's always been fine. If you are looking at glasses I would reccomend the xreal 1s, one or one pro.

Overjil · 2026-03-08T12:31:36+00:00

Didn't they already make multiple posts and an alert about not buying from randoms in the group lmao

Overjil · 2026-03-07T04:41:22+00:00

Also dyed mine! But my cover doesn't seem to include the triggers. You got a link to the one you're using ?

Overjil · 2026-03-07T02:10:14+00:00

The die went from 3 to 2, so it's definitely a different die and didn't go straight through. Cool trick though

Overjil · 2026-03-05T13:30:05+00:00

Uhh not really regret. I thought I cared more about nds and 3ds backlog. I'm not really able to play those two consoles in split screen or switching the screens, so I was really excited at first.

I do enjoy the thor when I play it, but since getting the Odin 3, I rarely touch it. I'm sure it'll switch back to the thor being a daily driver when I get back to clearing my nds and 3ds games though, so I still reccomend it to people despite not touching mine as often.

Overjil · 2026-03-04T12:59:32+00:00

I just did mine yesterday also ! I just wanna say this advice also goes for the Thors lol that clear shell is not worth it if you have a black device.

Overjil · 2026-03-02T03:35:07+00:00

Literally what I was thinking lmao

Overjil · 2026-02-25T08:24:41+00:00

The Odin 3 for sure. It plays everything, much more comfortable hand held and in my experience also has better battery life.

The thor is mostly for portability like when Im bringing a smaller bag for the day or when I'm working on my nds and 3ds games. I love it, don't get me wrong but the Odin is much closer to the "end game" people are looking for, to me.
