Samsung has scheduled a Galaxy event for next week, where it will finally unveil the wearable it has been teasing for almost a year.
The Oct. 21 livestream will introduce “a new era of multimodal AI and unveil Project Moohan, the first product built for the open and scalable Android XR platform,” Samsung says.
Developed with Samsung, Google’s Android XR is a platform and software ecosystem intended for a wide range of wearable displays, from VR headsets to smart glasses. It was unveiled in December 2024, alongside Project Moohan, an Apple Vision Pro-style device.
Since then, we got a glimpse of the headset at MWC in Barcelona, and heard rumors that its official name might be Galaxy XR (Moohan is the Korean word for infinity.) Samsung’s July 9 Unpacked event came and went without any news about Project Moohan, as did a smaller event for the Galaxy S25 FE. Samsung now appears ready to formally jump into mixed reality.
The headset we saw at MWC was quite bulky. Will Samsung stick to that form factor? Will it also show off a pared-down version that’s more like the Ray-Ban Metas than the Vision Pro? Qualcomm last year said it was developing mixed-reality glasses with Google and Samsung that can be connected to a smartphone. And at I/O, we got a first look at prototype smart glasses.
Whatever it is, Samsung says “Project Moohan blends everyday utility with immersive new experiences, unlocking a whole new dimension of possibility and setting a new benchmark for XR.”

We’ll have to wait until Tuesday, Oct. 21, when Samsung will stream its “Worlds Wide Open” event at Samsung.com/us and on its YouTube channel starting at 10 p.m. ET.
As it usually does ahead of its events, Samsung is offering the chance to reserve whatever it announces right now to get a $100 credit toward any additional eligible product. There’s no requirement that you actually buy the device, however.

As a news and features writer at PCMag, I cover the biggest tech trends that shape the way we live and work. I specialize in on-the-ground reporting, uncovering stories from the people who are at the center of change—whether that’s the CEO of a high-valued startup or an everyday person taking on Big Tech. I also cover daily tech news and breaking stories, contextualizing them so you get the full picture.
I came to journalism from a previous career working in Big Tech on the West Coast. That experience gave me an up-close view of how software works and how business strategies shift over time. Now that I have my master’s in journalism from Northwestern University, I couple my insider knowledge and reporting chops to help answer the big question: Where is this all going?
