Sure, let’s dive into this:

So, Samsung. Yeah, didn’t show off that mixed reality headset at their Unpacked event—oh, and not at Google I/O either. But hey, don’t freak out. They did promise their Android XR baby is still gonna make an entrance this year. Cross your fingers.
Okay, picture this: you’re listening to Samsung’s earnings call. Not exactly edge-of-your-seat stuff, right? But here we are. The execs, they’re like, “Yep, our headset, dubbed ‘Project Moohan’ for now, is coming soon.” But really, what do we know? No official name, no launch date, and price? Your guess is as good as mine.
Daniel Araujo, the guy from Samsung’s MX division, lets it slip that they’re prepping a few mind-blowing gadgets for 2025. Besides this Moohan thing, there’s even a TriFold smartphone on the way—I mean, talk about tech dreams. But anyway…
Here’s the kicker: Samsung’s kinda shy about throwing Project Moohan into the limelight. Odd, huh? They had a chance to flaunt it at Google I/O, but nah, it just chilled in the background. Android developers—those folks who’ll actually build apps for Android XR—they couldn’t really bond with it. Missed connection alert.
And Samsung Unpacked in July? Yeah, another no-show for Moohan. The TriFold didn’t make it to the stage either. Mysterious, right? So maybe we’re looking at another surprise event by year’s end. Who knows.
Right now, specifics are thin on the ground. Here’s the dirt we’ve got: Moohan runs on Android XR with some Snapdragon XR2 tech under the hood. Sony’s micro-OLED panels are there, but good luck finding any resolution details. And those lenses? Called pancake lenses—don’t ask me why. And it’s gonna have stuff like eye and hand-tracking. A magnetic light shield? Well, that sounds space-age. Oh, and controllers, but we haven’t seen hide nor hair of them yet.
Curious cats can check out our hands-on preview from last December. We dove into comfort, display clarity, and a little face-off between Android XR and Horizon OS. You’d be surprised how similar VisionOS looks.
Stay tuned, I guess.
