Samsung's Android XR headset will launch in South Korea on October 13, NewsPim reports, with a "sequential" global rollout.

The South Korean news outlet claims preorders will open at a Samsung Unpacked event in South Korea on September 29.

The report comes a week after a Samsung-focused leaker strongly hinted that the headset would launch in July at a New York Samsung Unpacked event, also saying it would ship to South Korea first. NewsPim says that the July event will feature prototype demos of the headset as well as "teaser video", but that it won't see the headset actually launched.
