Issue Overview
Since an April update, the Galaxy XR—running on Google’s XR platform—has suffered a critical memory leak. The leak caused memory usage to climb steadily over 20–30 minutes until the device reached its capacity, resulting in severe frame‑rate drops and near‑unusable performance. Google acknowledged the problem and labeled a fix an “absolute top priority,” though no timeline was initially provided.
Fix Details
The patch is now being distributed. Grace from Google’s community team announced on Reddit that version I610UEU2AZD8 is available:
“A series of system stability and performance optimizations based on the feedback we received regarding the latest software update.”
To apply the update:
- Open Settings.
- Navigate to Software Update.
- Download and install the available patch.
User Feedback
Early reports indicate the update resolves the memory‑leak symptoms for many users. One commenter noted that tracking hitches are gone, though a new issue has emerged in Virtual Desktop: moving the cursor on or off a virtual display can produce “corrupted/garbled frames.”
