Samsung’s Project Moohan Intro
Samsung plans a big move into extended reality this fall. Multiple reputable outlets report that Samsung’s first Android-based XR headset — codenamed Project Moohan — will be unveiled on October 21, 2025.
Reports say the company may announce the device online, then sell a limited first batch. If true, this will be a major moment in XR, offering a cheaper alternative to Apple’s Vision Pro while bringing tighter integration with Google’s XR software.
Samsung Project Moohan XR headset launch date Oct 21, 2025 — what’s reported
South Korean outlet ETNews and several global tech sites now point to an Oct 21 unveiling for Project Moohan, with some follow-up coverage saying sales may begin quickly in Korea. Media notes the date moved during planning and that Samsung might hold an online-only event rather than a big Unpacked stage show. Treat the date as reported until Samsung confirms it.
What we know about Project Moohan specs (reported leaks and sources)
Early reports list high-end hardware for the headset: dual micro-OLED displays with very high resolution, advanced eye and hand tracking, and the Snapdragon XR-class chipset (reports vary between Snapdragon XR Plus Gen 2 and XR2+ Gen2). Leaks also mention close integration with Google’s Gemini AI for on-device intelligence and natural interactions.
Several outlets note Samsung aims to ship an initial run of roughly 100,000 units and price the headset under Apple Vision Pro, with estimates around KRW 2 million (~$1,800–$2,000). These details are from leaks and industry reporting and should be treated as provisional.
Why Project Moohan matters for XR and developers
If Samsung launches Moohan as reported, it will widen choice in high-end XR hardware. A cheaper headset with strong optics and Google-backed software could speed XR app development and mainstream interest.
Developers should watch for an Android XR runtime and tools that let apps use Gemini-powered features like contextual assistants, mixed-reality overlays, and 3D mapping. The initial limited supply would likely focus on early adopters, reviewers, and enterprise customers.
Availability, regional notes and what buyers should expect
Reports say South Korea will likely get early stock. U.S. launch timing is unclear; some outlets warn US buyers may face delays or regional rollouts. Price estimates place Project Moohan below Vision Pro but well above mainstream VR headsets. Early buyers should expect premium build quality, external battery options, and a focus on productivity and media experiences rather than only gaming.
Quick advice for readers
- Treat Oct 21 as a reported date until Samsung posts an official event page.
- If you want a Vision Pro–class experience at a possibly lower price, Project Moohan looks promising — but wait for hands-on reviews before pre-ordering.
