Samsung Announces ‘Project Moohan’ XR Headset is Scheduled for Release This Year

Oh boy, Samsung and their teases, right? Felt like I was waiting for ages for them to spill the beans on this mixed reality headset—some fancy gizmo they’re calling ‘Project Moohan.’ Unpacked came and went, Google I/O too, and… nada! But hey, don’t sweat it, Samsung swears it’s happening this year. That’s what they said in their earnings call, anyway. Weirdly secretive about it though. Makes you wonder why, doesn’t it?

So, Daniel Araujo from their mobile side—yeah, the ‘MX’ division or whatever—chatted about it during Q2 2025 earnings. They’re cooking up this XR headset along with a TriFold smartphone. I mean, two revolutionary gadgets in one year? Sure, Samsung, go big or go home. But the details? Sparse. Seriously, we don’t know squat about the launch date or price. Talk about playing hard to get!

Here’s the kicker: they had a shot to show off at Google I/O, you know, where all the Android peeps hang out. But they just kinda… didn’t. No idea why. Maybe they wanted to keep it mysterious. Or maybe they lost their notes. Ha, who knows?

And then there’s Unpacked. Project Moohan? Missing in action. TriFold phone? Also, a no-show. Are we getting another mini-event, Samsung? Fingers crossed. Maybe they’re waiting for the perfect dramatic moment. The suspense is killing me.

So, what do we know about this elusive headset? It’s got Android XR—a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 + Gen 2 thingamajig. Fancy! Plus, some Sony micro-OLED panels with, uh, unspecified resolution. Thrilling, right? But slimming pancake lenses sound tasty (not literally, don’t eat them). And wait for it—eye and hand-tracking. Plus, a magnetically-attached light shield. Oh, and a removable battery, because who doesn’t love swapping out batteries in the middle of an intense VR game?

And oh, controllers! They support VR motion controllers, apparently. What they look like? No clue. Do they even exist? One can hope.

For the curious souls craving more Moohan gossip, there’s a hands-on review from December 2024 floating around. Talks about comfort and display clarity. Sounds like a page-turner, if you’re into that sorta thing. Might be worth a peek. Or not. Up to you.

So yeah, Samsung’s cooking up some intriguing stuff. Let’s see if they actually serve the dish. My popcorn’s ready.
