An ongoing bug with Android XR has left Samsung’s Galaxy XR headsets in rough shape, with serious performance issues that Google is aware of and working to fix.
Reports from Samsung Galaxy XR owners on Reddit have pinpointed severe performance problems that some users describe as “functionally useless.” Frame rates within apps and the general UI slow to a crawl, and the headset can freeze entirely.
Users have noticed that the problem is related to a memory leak, as discussed in a comment on r/AndroidXR.
