Samsung’s Project Moohan XR Headset Could Launch at Next Month’s Unpacked Event

Okay, so bear with me here. Samsung’s doing their Unpacked thing again—like, next month. Usual deal: phones, gadgets, yadda yadda. But this year, they might throw out some wildcards—like, foldy phones. Yeah, Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7. But here’s the spicy bit: they’re cooking up this XR headset called Project Moohan. Maybe you’ve heard of it, maybe not. Doesn’t matter.

So, Moohan sorta made a cameo back in December ’24. It’s running Google’s XR system. They’re tight-lipped, though. Typical. Everyone’s guessing it’ll launch this year, but who knows, right? Now, this person—Panda Flash, whoever that is—says there might be a release date soon-ish.

We all thought Google I/O would spill the beans. Nope. Nada. Samsung’s playing it close, I guess?

Oh man, I was about to ramble on about something else—but let’s stick to Moohan. There are these whispers—rumors?–that it might drop in South Korea first. Then, the rest of us get our turn. Kinda like how Apple did with their Vision Pro. Classic move.

Had a peek at it last year, like some exclusive club teaser. They’re mum on the juicy specs, but guess what? Bunch of nerdy details leaked: Snapdragon chip, OLED thingies from Sony, pancake lenses (did I get that right?), and some eye-tracking magic. It’s got a detachable battery pack too, which screams, “I love to accessorize,” doesn’t it?

Oh, I almost forgot—ran into someone gossiping about Samsung tinkering with smart glasses too. Are these a thing now? Whatever. They’re eyeballing Ray-Ban’s Meta Smart Glasses like “we can top that.”

Anyway—no, wait—before I go completely off track, gotta mention: Samsung Unpacked is supposedly hitting NYC early next month. When exactly? Who knows. But it’s on the radar. Sorta.

And that’s that. Or is it?
