Small recompense, considering we still don\u2019t know its official name, when the device is launching, or at what price.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeanwhile, we are also preparing to introduce next-generation innovative products, including our XR headset and TriFold smartphone this year,\u201d confirmed Daniel Araujo of the company\u2019s \u2018MX\u2019 mobile division in the company\u2019s Q2 2025 earnings call.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/project-moohan.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden size-full wp-image-121838\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/project-moohan.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\"  \/><\/a>Samsung Project Moohan | Image courtesy The Verge<\/p>\n<p>That said, Samsung has seemed pretty reticent to put Project Moohan in the spotlight, which has been less than reassuring. While press demos were available at Google I\/O, the headset wasn\u2019t heavily featured there, which seems like a missed\u00a0opportunity to engage with Android developers\u2014the very people who will be building apps for the upcoming Android XR operating system.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, Project Moohan was essentially also a no-show at Samsung Unpacked in July, it\u2019s annual product event. Then again, so was its TriFold smartphone, which is also slated to arrive sometime this year, suggesting we might get another mini product event between now and the year\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<p>While we don\u2019t know exactly when Project Moohan is launching, or at what price, here\u2019s what we do know:<\/p>\n<p>Project Moohan runs Android XR via a Qualcomm Snapdragon\u202fXR2\u202f+\u202fGen\u202f2. Its Sony-sourced micro\u2011OLED panels don\u2019t have resolution specs yet, although it\u2019s supposed to include some slimming pancake lenses, automatic interpupillary distance (IPD) adjustment, support for eye and hand-tracking, optional magnetically-attached light shield, and a removable external battery pack.\u00a0The headset is also slated to support\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtovr.com\/samsung-android-xr-motion-controllers-pc-vr-streaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">VR motion controllers of\u00a0some sort<\/a>,\u00a0although we haven\u2019t seen them yet.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtovr.com\/samsung-android-xr-vr-headset-project-moohan-hands-on\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">hands-on with Project Moohan<\/a>\u00a0from December 2024, which includes everything from comfort, display clarity, and how Android XR looks a lot like Horizon OS combined with VisionOS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung didn\u2019t highlight its upcoming mixed reality headset at Unpacked last month, nor at Google I\/O the month&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":110509,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[158,67,132,68,729,730],"class_list":{"0":"post-110508","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-technology","9":"tag-united-states","10":"tag-unitedstates","11":"tag-us","12":"tag-virtual-reality","13":"tag-vr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114954071307885851","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110508\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
