Samsung could be launching its Project Moohan mixed reality headset next month, according to a report from South Korea\u2019s ETNews<\/a>\u00a0(Korean), which hopes to take on Apple Vision Pro in the prosumer XR segment.<\/p>\n

Citing\u00a0industry sources, ETNews\u00a0maintains that Samsung\u2019s Mobile Experience division will unveil Moohan (Korean for \u2018Infinite\u2019) online on October 21st\u2014likely in the morning of October 22nd in Korea, which will include specs, price and the ability to purchase the headset.<\/p>\n

South Korea\u2019s\u00a0Newsworks\u00a0previously reported<\/a> that Samsung would unveil Moohan during an event scheduled for September 29th, with sales coming on October 13th in a Korea-first debut, however the latest ETNews report maintains\u00a0the schedule was adjusted due to Samsung\u2019s shifting marketing strategy and final quality checks.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s uncertain whether Moohan is now aiming for a global launch out of the gate, or sticking to the previously reported Korea-first strategy. Moohan is expected to be priced between between \u20a92.5 and \u20a94 million South Korean won\u2014or between $1,800 and $2,900 USD\u2014which is seen as way of undercutting Vision Pro ($3,500).<\/p>\n

As the first XR headset running Google\u2019s Android XR operating system, Moohan could serve as a foil to Apple\u2019s VisionOS operating system for Vision Pro, which gives users access to most iOS apps in addition to standalone content created specifically for the device\u2014a sharp contrast from Meta\u2019s Horizon OS for Quest, which requires developers to manually port Android apps to the platform.<\/p>\n

The inclusion of Android XR will not only give Moohan access to the massive library of Android smartphone apps and native XR content (ostensibly ported from Quest), but also includes the ability to natively stream PC VR games, like Quest.<\/p>\n

The device is expected to integrate Google\u2019s multimodal AI, in addition to supporting voice, hand and eye-tracking as input methods. We\u2019re still waiting to hear about Moohan\u2019s long-promised first-party motion controllers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As for specs, Moohan is said to feature micro-OLED panels supplied by Samsung Display, packing in a pixel density of 3,800 ppi,\u00a0running on Qualcomm\u2019s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chipset with 16GB of RAM. Samsung has been tight-lipped on specs since Moohan was first unveiled late last year, so we\u2019re waiting to hear more.<\/p>\n

And it appears Samsung isn\u2019t casting a very wide net with Moohan either, according to the report. The company is allegedly only targeting an initial shipment volume of around 100,000 units, with later targets adjusted according to early demand.<\/p>\n
