After an hour with Android XR glasses, I understand why Google is betting everything on this

Google is investing in Android XR, a more portable and immersive approach to virtual reality, in the form of glasses. This approach appeals for its enhanced experience.

The company recently released Android 17 QPR1 as part of the September Pixel Drop. According to GrapheneOS, this update includes APIs and changes not available to the wider Android ecosystem at the same time.

GrapheneOS also claims Google is withholding some security fixes for standard Android components from other OEMs until Android 17 QPR2 arrives in December, as per Android Authority.
