Through this system, enterprises can utilize various initial configuration methods such as Android Zero-Touch Enrollment and QR code recognition, which allow for easy and fast device setup without complicated procedures. This enables companies to quickly configure and manage multiple Galaxy XR devices.

Corporate administrators can remotely control password policies, Wi-Fi settings, and device usage restrictions from a central location. They can also lock or wipe Galaxy XR devices when necessary, further enhancing security levels.

The Managed Google Play, which allows corporate apps to be distributed easily to multiple devices, is also available. With this, companies can implement customized work solutions on the Galaxy XR, and users can work in a stable and secure environment.

In addition to enterprise features, Samsung Electronics will update functions that improve the general user experience. First, to provide an optimized working environment for users, it will support the ability to save the height, distance, and position of the virtual keyboard in the desired form. A new feature has also been added to restore the desktop working environment, so that even after rebooting the Galaxy XR, up to three previously used apps will be retained on the same screen as before.

The usability of the pass-thru environment, which allows users to view both the real-world surroundings and virtual screens simultaneously, has also been improved. With the screen alignment assistant feature, users can align virtual screens to the wall. Accessibility features have been enhanced as well, with the addition of single gaze tracking and pointer customization functions.

The "Auto Specialization" feature, newly added to the Labs section where users can test new features in advance, converts 2D content from Chrome browser and YouTube into immersive 3D videos and photos.

Choi Jaein, Vice President and Head of XR Research & Development at Samsung Electronics' MX Division, stated, "XR is not just hardware, but a platform that creates a new experience ecosystem." He added, "Through Android Enterprise support, Samsung Electronics will help companies scale up their XR-based solutions reliably, while continuously advancing diverse user experiences in work, exploration, entertainment, and more."

David Still, Vice President of Product and Technology for Android Enterprise at Google, said, "The introduction of Android Enterprise for XR expands the robust security and management capabilities built over millions of Android devices into the new era of spatial computing," and added, "Starting with the Galaxy XR, this standardized system will help expand the use of XR in enterprise environments."

Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics announced that, starting with this update being rolled out sequentially from April 8, it will support software updates for the Android XR platform for up to five years.
