Samsung briefly teased XR headset 'Project Moohan' at Galaxy Unpacked
The rumors are true. Samsung did have a few surprises in store at its Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event – and one of those surprises was its "Project Moohan" XR headset.
However, the surprise was nothing more than a brief mention of a XR headset and a teaser photo, which I guess is better than nothing at all!
Codenamed Project Moohan, Samsung's XR headset is a joint venture between Samsung, Google, and Qualcomm and it signals Samsung's intent to get into the currently booming immersive 3-D content business.

Samsung's XR headset hasn't really been much of a secret in the industry as the companies have been demoing the device. However, this appears to be the first time the company has publicly acknowledged its existence to consumers.
When Mashable covered CES earlier this year, AR/VR glasses and headsets were everywhere. We tried out hardware from big names like Sony to a multitude of known and upcoming AR/VR startups in the space. The industry is definitely having a moment right now.
Samsung's XR headset is reportedly powered by an upgraded Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 chipset – the chip that's currently found in Meta's Quest 3, which makes Samsung's offering more powerful than arguably the most popular headset currently on the market.
Project Moohan is built on Google's Android XR operating system, which should further Apple and Google's ongoing mobile device feud among consumers that pit iOS and Android smartphones against each other. Samsung's XR headset is clearly the company's answer to the Apple Vision Pro, which has struggled after a highly-anticipated launch.
Samsung didn't mention any product names, but that XR headset said to be codenamed "Project Moohan" officially made its debut at Samsung Unpacked. Mashable will continue to monitor news regarding specs, pricing, and possible pre-order and launch dates.
