Ugh, Samsung’s got this new mixed reality headset coming. It’s weird, right? They barely talked about it at Unpacked—honestly, not a peep, and Google I/O was the same story. But yeah, they did say it’s still happening this year. Don’t hold your breath though, ‘cause they’ve slapped on this placeholder name—‘Project Moohan.’ Cool, I guess? No clue on the price or launch date.
So, during this earnings call, Daniel Araujo from Samsung’s MX division casually drops that they’re cooking up this XR headset and a TriFold phone. Not much to chew on. By the way, they did some press demos at Google I/O but didn’t really hype it up, which is odd. Like, wouldn’t you want to get developers excited? Seems like a missed chance, honestly.
And then July rolls around, and at Samsung Unpacked? Yeah, nothing. Project Moohan and this TriFold thing were MIA. Maybe they’re planning a surprise show later on? Who knows.
Okay, here’s the little we do know about Moohan—super vague though. It’s running on Android XR and powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2. There’s some fancy micro-OLED stuff from Sony (but forget about exact specs) and skinny lenses. It’s supposed to have eye and hand-tracking, whatever that means, and there’s talk of a detachable battery pack. Oh, and VR motion controllers—still AWOL.
To dive deeper, track down our December 2024 hands-on with Project Moohan. It’s got the deets on comfort and display clarity, comparing Android XR to some Horizon OS and VisionOS cocktail. Curious, right? It’s a lot like… wait, what was I saying? Anyway, definitely worth a look if you’re into that scene.
