A new report suggests Samsung’s long-rumoured “Project Moohan” mixed-reality headset is finally coming soon.
According to ETnews, Samsung will unveil the device on October 21 during an online event, with sales to follow shortly after.
An earlier September 29 reveal was reportedly delayed for extra polish, and initial production is said to target around 100,000 units to test demand before scaling.
A separate launch for a tri-fold Galaxy phone – reported to be called the Galaxy G Fold – is also tipped for later in the autumn, which could end up being the more interesting of the two launches in our opinion.
Specs, price and the pitch
On paper, this is a premium play: Micro-OLED panels around 3,800ppi, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 and 16GB RAM. Expect multimodal input (voice, eye and hand tracking) plus wide Android XR reach via OpenXR/Unity support.
Corrective lenses are set to be sold separately through local eyewear partners, echoing the approach used by Apple’s Vision Pro.
Pricing is expected to undercut Apple Vision Pro but sit above Meta Quest 3, with chatter placing it in the high-2-million KRW range. For current context, check the Meta Quest 3, the Best VR Headset 2025 roundup and ongoing Vision Pro coverage.
What to watch for
Comfort, weight balance and battery life are the big hurdles for mixed reality, and they’ll matter as much as pixel density or chipset choice.
Controller-free input looks ambitious; the real test is whether hand and eye tracking feel natural in everyday apps, not just tech demos. Content will also be key: if Android XR ships with a credible day-one library (productivity, media, fitness and a couple of must-try experiences), Samsung could have a compelling third option between budget-friendly Quest and ultra-premium Vision Pro.
A near-term launch with sharp displays and credible silicon could give Android XR fresh momentum. If Samsung nails comfort and ships with apps people actually use, this lands as a serious alternative—priced to tempt Vision Pro-curious buyers without abandoning high-end ambitions. If not, it risks being another impressive spec sheet waiting for the software to catch up.
