Tech giant Samsung's upcoming extended reality (XR) headset will reportedly be a stand-alone device.

The XR headset's battery carrying product code EB-BI120ABY was spotted, reports Sam Mobile.

The battery measures around 45 by 45 mm, but the capacity is unknown.

At the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco on Wednesday, the company announced that it has partnered with Qualcomm and Google to build an ecosystem for XR.

"We will transform the future of the mobile industry by building the XR ecosystem together with Qualcomm and Google," TM Roh, president of Samsung Electronics' Mobile eXperience business, had said at the event.

XR is an umbrella term covering virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).
