After announcing its intentions to make an XR device<\/a> in 2023, and revealing the design and intended use-cases for the headset alongside the announcement of Android XR<\/a> in 2024, Samsung has shared precious few details about Project Moohan. A new leak from Android Headlines<\/a> is set to change that, detailing not only the specs of Samsung’s new headset, but also a final name and new controller accessories ahead of the device’s rumored launch later this fall.<\/p>\n

Samsung’s Project Moohan \u2014 officially called “Samsung Galaxy XR” per Android Headlines \u2014 is a marriage of sorts between the discontinued Meta Quest Pro<\/a> and an Apple Vision Pro<\/a>. It features an adjustable headband, primarily acts as passthrough goggles to the world around you and supports an external battery pack. While Samsung’s demos of the Project Moohan focused on the headset’s ability to accept voice commands and track eye and hand movements through built-in microphones and cameras, Android Headlines reports the headset will also support two controller accessories that look a lot like Meta’s Touch Plus controllers for the Quest 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More expected are the internals and software experience on the new device. Project Moohan will use a Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip to power its One UI-ified version of Android XR, just as Qualcomm promised<\/a> when it announced the new processor in 2024. Samsung appears to be taking a lighter touch when it comes to software. Screenshots shared by Android Headlines show an app grid with the company’s browser, photos and camera apps, but the rest lines up with what Google’s shown of Android XR.<\/p>\n

The headset will also reportedly feature one high-resolution 4K micro-OLED screen per eye, as previously rumored by Korean publication The Elec<\/a>, and around a two hours of battery life, which is comparable to the Vision Pro. Importantly, Project Moohan is also lighter. The headset reportedly weighs 545 grams, a good bit less than the over 600-gram Apple headset.<\/p>\n

The only thing really missing now is a price for Project Moohan and a release date. Samsung shared<\/a> in its Q2 2025 earnings that it still expected to ship the headset in 2025, but hasn’t announced an event to introduce the new device. Whenever it does launch, it sounds like it’ll be expensive. In August 2025, rumors pointed<\/a> to Project Moohan costing anywhere from 2,500,000 to 4,000,000 Korean won (around $1,700 to $2,800).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After announcing its intentions to make an XR device in 2023, and revealing the design and intended use-cases…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":214017,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[8546,121612,38950,170,4326,74],"class_list":["post-214016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-android-xr","tag-apple-headset","tag-project-moohan","tag-samsung","tag-samsung-galaxy","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214016"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214016\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
