Qualcomm also announced that the first compatible phones will be made by Xiaomi, HTC, OnePlus, Oppo, Asus and Vivo. Cellular operators supporting Qualcomm's initiative so far include Sprint, LG U+, TIM, KDDI, SK Telecom, Swisscom and KT.

Qualcomm's planning on creating its own "XR Optimized" badge to indicate which phones and headsets will work together. The company also wants to keep referring to the world of AR and VR headsets as "XR." While that's an accepted term for what's also known as "mixed reality," it's totally confusing for anyone outside the industry.
