Speculations Rise Over Samsung’s XR Headset Launch

Rumors are swirling that Samsung could unveil its first standalone Android XR headset as early as next month, possibly debuting first in South Korea. A known Samsung-focused leaker, PandaFlash, recently hinted at this development on X (formerly Twitter). According to these hints, the highly anticipated headset may be launched during Samsung’s Unpacked event in July, with a gradual global rollout to follow.

However, conflicting information has emerged about the event’s location, adding some uncertainty. While PandaFlash suggests a Korea-first launch, other reports indicate that the July Unpacked event will take place in New York City. Launching a South Korea-exclusive product at a U.S.-based event has raised questions among industry watchers, fueling further speculation about Samsung’s actual plans.

Development Timeline and Technical Specifications

Samsung’s XR headset project has been in development for over two years. From the beginning, Samsung collaborated with Google and Qualcomm for the device’s software and hardware components. Google was responsible for developing the software platform, while Qualcomm supplied the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chipset, a more advanced version of the chip found in Meta’s Quest 3 and Quest 3S headsets. This chipset has already powered devices like Play For Dream MR, showcasing its capabilities.

The first glimpse of Samsung’s XR headset design was unveiled in December 2024, when Google also officially introduced the Android XR platform. Samsung offered a hands-on preview to UploadVR’s Ian Hamilton at that time and confirmed plans to release the headset in 2025. Since then, Samsung has remained tight-lipped about additional specifics, leaving much of the device’s details to speculation and leaks.

In March 2025, several South Korean media outlets reported new claims about the headset’s hardware and launch window. According to The Elec, the headset will feature Sony’s latest 1.35-inch micro-OLED display, boasting a resolution of 3552×3840 pixels. This display is said to surpass even Apple’s Vision Pro in both resolution and color range. Meanwhile, Business Post suggested a Q3 2025 launch window, encompassing July through September, and indicated that Samsung may limit production to only 100,000 units annually, hinting at a potential high-end pricing strategy.

Unanswered Questions Ahead of Official Launch

Despite expectations, neither Google nor Samsung provided any significant updates about the XR headset during the Google I/O conference in May 2025. Instead, Google shifted focus to its advancements in smart glasses and introduced Xreal’s Project Aura, the second officially announced Android XR headset. This absence of news from I/O has only heightened anticipation around Samsung’s upcoming Unpacked event.

As speculation continues, the industry remains eager to see how Samsung’s XR headset will position itself against competitors like Apple and Meta. The limited production volume suggests that Samsung may initially target premium users, potentially using South Korea as a testing ground before expanding to larger markets. Whether these rumors hold will soon be revealed if Samsung chooses to make its long-awaited announcement next month.

The Dawn of a New Reality: Samsung’s XR Headset with Android XR and Gemini AI

By [Your Name], Power Pulse Tech Contributor

Samsung is taking a bold leap into the future of spatial computing with its upcoming Extended Reality (XR) headset, codenamed Project Moohan. But this isn’t just another wearable—it’s a glimpse into how artificial intelligence and immersive tech are merging to reshape the way we experience our world.

Developed in collaboration with Google and powered by its Android XR platform and Gemini AI, Project Moohan promises to be more than a headset. It's a smart, context-aware companion built to seamlessly blend physical and digital environments.

What Is Project Moohan?

Mixed Reality That Feels Real

Unlike traditional VR devices that isolate users, Project Moohan aims to create a “mixed reality” experience—blending augmented and virtual reality into something more natural and functional. Think: floating workspaces, app windows you can drag and pin around your room, and immersive media you can interact with from anywhere.

Early hands-on reports hint at a lightweight, ergonomic design, likely featuring an open-eye gasket to preserve a connection to the real world. It's designed for comfort, long-term wear, and an intuitive user interface that won’t feel like a tech chore.

The Power Duo: Android XR + Gemini AI

Smart OS Meets Smarter Assistant

At the core of this futuristic device lies Google’s Android XR, a platform purpose-built for next-gen XR hardware. Already available to developers in preview, Android XR supports familiar tools like ARCore, Jetpack Compose, Unity, and OpenXR—empowering creators to bring imaginative XR experiences to life.

But what really sets Project Moohan apart is Gemini AI.

Gemini isn’t just your typical voice assistant. It's a multimodal AI—capable of seeing, hearing, and understanding your world. Imagine navigating city streets with real-time AR directions overlaid on your path, instantly translating conversations in front of you, or having your digital workspace organized automatically based on what you're working on. This kind of contextual awareness transforms the headset from a screen to a smart extension of your senses.

Expected Specs (What We Know So Far)

Although Samsung hasn’t officially dropped full specs, early leaks and industry rumors paint a picture of a powerful, immersive system:

- Display: High-res OLED or micro-OLED, possibly 4K per eye

- Processor: Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset

- Input & Tracking: Eye, hand, and controller tracking with inside-out tech

- Battery: Around 2–3 hours with possible external battery support

- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6E/7 for fast wireless communication

- AI Features: Scene recognition, real-time translation, advanced voice control

- Ecosystem Sync: Integration with Samsung’s Galaxy Watches, phones, and SmartThings

Availability & Pricing

Samsung is expected to launch Project Moohan in late 2025, likely during Q3 or Q4. The company has hinted at “exploring new XR products” in its latest earnings call, further confirming its direction.

Price Range? Estimates currently hover between $2,000–$3,000, making it a premium offering—yet potentially more accessible than Apple’s Vision Pro. With the tech baked in, that price could feel justified.

The Bigger Picture: XR Meets AI

What makes Project Moohan truly revolutionary isn’t just the tech—it’s the intelligence behind it.

We're entering a new age where spatial computing and artificial intelligence aren't just tools—they're co-pilots. Gemini AI isn’t just reacting; it’s anticipating. It can overlay step-by-step guides while you repair something, translate a sign in another language in real time, or help you learn a skill with hands-free instructions. This is true augmentation—not just of our reality, but of ourselves.

Final Thoughts

Samsung’s Project Moohan isn’t just building a headset. It’s crafting a whole new reality—intelligent, intuitive, and deeply immersive. With Android XR and Gemini AI leading the charge, this could very well be the device that shifts the conversation around how we live, work, and connect in digital spaces.

Are you ready for the future of mixed reality? We’ll be watching closely—and we suggest you do, too.
