Samsung Confirms ‘Project Moohan’ XR Headset Launching This Year

Oops, Samsung kind of ghosted us on their mixed reality headset, didn’t they? So, no grand reveal at Unpacked last month. Google I/O before that? Nope, nada. But don’t freak out just yet—apparently, it’s still happening. Their new Android XR-based gizmo is dropping… sometime this year. Maybe.

So, yeah, during some earnings call (half paying attention here, to be honest), they mentioned this XR headset, catchy name ‘Project Moohan’, is still in the works. But we’re still in the dark on what it’ll actually cost or when we can actually buy it. Classic, right?

Daniel Araujo from Samsung’s ‘MX’ division tossed a bone our way, saying they’ve got some next-gen stuff in the pipeline—like that, um, TriFold smartphone along with the XR headset. But seriously, can we get a date here?

Fun fact: They had this image floating around, all professional-like with credits to The Verge. Thought I’d mention it just so you know I’m not pulling this out of thin air.

It feels like Samsung is doing that thing where they don’t want to share their snack. Not reassuring, eh? Google I/O could’ve been a stage to wow Android developers with Project Moohan, but guess what? They stayed hush-hush.

Unpacked in July came and went without a peep about it, and the TriFold too. Are we betting on a surprise launch party later this year? Maybe.

Anyway, let’s talk deets—what tiny crumbs do we actually have? There’s this Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 + Gen 2 thing going on. The headset rocks some fancy Sony micro‑OLED panels, but details are as scarce as my patience. Slim pancake lenses, IPD stuff, hand-tracking, eye-tracking—wow, that’s a lot of tracking—and a clip-on light shield thingy. And guess what, the battery is removable! Wheee. Maybe there are some VR controllers too? Who knows, they didn’t show ‘em yet.

If you’re curious, there’s more info from December 2024, where someone apparently tinkered with Project Moohan. Kinda like Horizon OS meets VisionOS or something like that. It’s a whole jumble—but hey, at least we know a tiny bit more than before.
