Sure, let’s talk about Samsung’s mixed reality headset. It’s kinda funny how they didn’t really shout about it at their own Unpacked event or even during Google I/O. It’s like, “Hey, it’s still coming!” but… is it? Samsung says it’ll drop this year. They even mentioned it in some earnings call (let’s pretend we’re all following those). The codename is ‘Project Moohan’—catchy, right? But no official name, launch date, or price tag yet. Classic move.
So, Daniel Araujo from their mobile division just casually drops, “Yeah, we got an XR headset and a TriFold phone coming this year.” Meanwhile, we’re all over here like, “Okay, cool, but when?” But what do I know?
Oh, and about Project Moohan, it’s been kinda shy. You’d think Google I/O would’ve been the perfect stage, right? Get the developers hyped! But no, it was more like, blink and you’ll miss it. Maybe they’re waiting for their own party or something. Or just avoiding commitment issues. Who can say?
And speaking of no-shows, it skipped Samsung Unpacked too, just like that TriFold phone. Maybe both will make a dramatic entrance later. Or not. Who knows these things?
Here’s what we’ve gathered, though: it’s gonna run on Android XR, powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 + Gen 2. Still tight-lipped about resolution details, but it should have these pancake lenses (sounds tasty, huh?), some fancy eye-hand tracking, and a light shield that just snaps on—like magic. Oh, the battery? You can actually take it off, which is neat, I guess.
You’re probably wondering about controllers, right? They’ll support VR motion controllers, but nobody’s seen them yet. Spooky.
Want the nitty-gritty? Check out our hands-on from last December. We cover comfort, display clarity, and how Android XR seems a bit like Horizon OS snuggling with VisionOS. But hey, enough of my rambling. Let’s just wait and see, shall we?
