- Project Moohan could be launched on September 29, according to a new leak
- It will be Samsung’s first Android XR Headset
- Prices can be cheaper than Apple Vision Pro
We’ve been waiting a long time for Project Moohan, Samsung’s first XR (Extended Reality) headset developed in partnership with Google. It was announced back in December, but thanks to a new leak we can now have a release date and a price for the device.
According to Newsworks (via Gsmarena), Samsung is planning another unpacked event for Monday, September 29 to announce the Android XR Headset. The sale will then follow on October 13, beginning in Samsung’s homeland in South Korea.
Samsung has already said that the headset will be launched in the second half of 2025, so the new information fits it. However, Project Moohan is just a code name (“Moohan” means “endless” in Korean), so we’re still not sure what it will be called.
The report also mentions pricing: Between 2.5 and 4 million won. Samsung will not use a direct currency conversion internationally, but for reference it is a starting price of $ 1,790 / £ 1,330 / AU $ 2,765 at today’s prices.
Choose your reality
This is Samsung’s first XR headset: The XR expression includes both augmented reality (digital elements on the top of the real world), virtual reality (completely closed digital worlds) and mixed reality (digital elements interacting with the real world).
In other words, XR = AR + VR + MRI, so this sounds like a real all -rounder. Meta Quest 3 is marketed as a mixed reality headset, and based on the time we spent with Project Moohan prototypes, this new device works in a similar way.
Apple ignores these expressions of Vision Pro, as it calls a “spatial computer” but it’s the same kind of thing really. In our test we found that Project Moohan was a smaller premium, more easy to take on the Apple Vision Pro approach.
We can try the finished version of the product in the near future. It looks like there will be a Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 processor mounted inside, along with 16 GB of RAM, and Gemini AI will of course be available on board.
