Samsung’s “Project Moohan” XR Headset Set to Launch in September

Samsung is about to make a major leap into the world of mixed reality with the unveiling of its Android XR headset, codenamed “Project Moohan,” which has been developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm. After teasing the product in 2024, this headset has been making waves at various tech events like Galaxy Unpacked, CES 2025, and Mobile World Congress 2025. Now, it’s clear that this device will soon hit the market.

The latest report from Korea confirms the much-anticipated announcement of Samsung’s Android XR headset will take place at the Unpacked event on September 29th. Sales will kick off in South Korea on October 13th, followed by a global release shortly after. This news follows months of speculation, with no clear release window until now. With this confirmation, users are eager to see how Samsung’s first-ever Android XR headset performs in the increasingly competitive mixed reality space.

In addition to the XR headset, Samsung will hold a keynote event in July, where prototypes of the “Moohan” headset will be showcased, alongside the debut of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. While there is still some uncertainty about whether the final release date for the headset will be revealed at this event, it’s clear that Samsung’s intentions are firmly focused on the XR market.

The headset will run on Google’s Android XR platform and be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip, featuring a high-resolution micro-OLED display and integration with Gemini AI. The device promises to offer a solid experience in the XR realm, but it remains to be seen if it can meet the growing demands of users in a space that’s already been dominated by powerful PCs and gaming consoles.

Ultimately, the arrival of Samsung’s Android XR headset marks a pivotal moment in the XR landscape. Whether it will live up to expectations is still to be determined, but the excitement is palpable.
