Samsung Confirms ‘Project Moohan’ XR Headset Launching This Year

Oh boy, Samsung’s been all hush-hush about their mixed reality headset, huh? It’s called Project Moohan, by the way, but if you guessed that name, well, you’re probably spying on their meetings or something. Or maybe you just really like tech gossip. But yeah, even though they didn’t chat about it at Unpacked or Google I/O, they’re still saying it’s gonna hit stores this year. When, you ask? No clue. I guess they like to keep us on the edge of our seats. And the price? Your guess is as good as mine.

So, in this earnings call—one of those boring ones where you nod off halfway through—Daniel Araujo from Samsung’s mobile squad casually dropped the bomb: they’re cooking up new stuff, like this mysterious XR headset and a TriFold smartphone. Honestly, it sounds neat, but where’s the deets, Samsung?

There was this big shiny picture moment, too. A snapshot of Project Moohan that looks all fancy—if that’s your thing. Maybe it’s supposed to make us drool? Anyway, I digress. Samsung’s been oddly shy about Moohan. They had a chance to show off to all the Android nerds at Google I/O, but nope, they kept it mostly hidden. C’mon, Samsung! Missed chance or what?

Oh, and the TriFold wasn’t at Unpacked either. Hmm. Maybe there’s another sneaky event coming up? Who knows. It’s like waiting for a mystery box to show up at your door with no tracking number. Exciting? Maybe. Frustrating? Definitely.

But here’s the tidbit buffet for tech lovers: Project Moohan will strut in with Android XR on some snazzy Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 + Gen 2. The screen magic is happening thanks to Sony micro‑OLED panels—though Samsung’s keeping those resolution digits in a vault somewhere. Pancake lenses, eye and hand-tracking, some magnet magic with attachable light shields, and a battery you can swap out. Just make sure not to lose it.

Oh! Controllers, too, but Samsung’s being coy with those, like, “Do I show you or not?” vibes. Curious about the feel and looks? Check out our dabble with Moohan from December 2024—it’s got all the comfort and display talk, plus a few nods to Horizon OS meets VisionOS. Because things can never be simple, right?

And there I go again—lost in the tech chatter. Anyway, Samsung’s got some interesting tricks up their sleeve. It’s like waiting for the next episode of your favorite show, except you’re not sure if it’s coming out this week or next. Excited yet? Yeah, me too.
