Samsung Galaxy XR to offer 3-button navigation
Samsung’s new XR headset, Project Moohan, is ready to compete with Apple’s Vision Pro. Earlier this month, Samsung revealed its first Galaxy XR, powered by Google’s new Android XR platform. A piece of new information shows that the Samsung XR headset could feature three-button navigation.
Google recently showed that Android XR features gesture navigation. This system combines Android’s usual three-button controls with a new, button-free approach. It is also expected to feature in the Samsung XR headset.
When you raise your hand, a diamond-shaped button appears. To press it, you pinch your thumb and forefinger together. After doing this, three buttons show up – a circle for the launcher, a triangle for the back, and a square for recents. You simply slide your hand over a button to select it and release the pinch.

Aside from this, Google to offer Find My Device support for Android XR devices and other Better Together features. Following Samsung’s Galaxy XR reveal, Google announced the launch of Android XR, developed in collaboration with Samsung and Qualcomm.
