In December 2024, Samsung partnered with Google to announce Project Moohan, their initial venture into an XR headset. The headset was showcased during the Galaxy S25 launch, and the company confirmed its intention to release it by year’s end during a recent earnings call. A new report indicates that Samsung plans to officially unveil the headset at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event on 29 September 2025, allowing enthusiasts to experience it firsthand. According to reports, the Samsung XR headset will be available in South Korea starting 13 October 2025, with a gradual rollout to additional markets following that date.
The expected price range is between 2.5 and 4 million South Korean won ($1,800 – $2,000), positioning it as a more budget-friendly alternative to the Apple Vision Pro. The leaked pricing suggests that Samsung will produce around 100,000 units of its first XR headset this year, compared to Apple’s shipment of approximately 224,000 Vision Pro units last year. Central to Project Moohan is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chipset. The Samsung VR AR device will also include two micro OLED displays, a 90Hz refresh rate, 12 cameras, an external battery pack, and will operate on Google’s Android XR.
Benchmark data shows that the headset is equipped with a six-core CPU (comprising two cores at 2.36GHz and four at 2.05GHz) and an Adreno 740 GPU, which is also found in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. Additionally, the report suggests it will support 16GB of RAM and run Android 14, potentially serving as the foundation for Google’s new Android XR operating system.
