Oh man, where do I even start with this? Samsung’s cooking up something big—like, I’m talking mixed reality headset big. Didn’t get a peep about it at Unpacked last month, which was kinda weird. I mean, you’d think they’d want to shout about it from the rooftops or something. But hey, no worries. They promised this Android XR thing is still happening. At some point. This year, apparently.
So, I was skimming through this earnings call (not my usual light reading, but oh well), and Samsung’s all cool and casual about it. They’re calling it ‘Project Moohan’ for now. Sounds mysterious, right? But here’s the kicker: we still don’t know what it’ll actually be named, when we can hold it in our hands, or how badly it’s gonna hit our wallets.
Daniel Araujo from their mobile division literally said they’re gearing up for “next-generation innovative products.” Sounds fancy, huh? They’re also dropping a TriFold smartphone this year. I wonder if it folds like one of those old-school maps. What even happened to those anyway? Tangent—sorry!
Here’s the funny part: everywhere they should’ve been showing this thing off, like Google I/O, they kinda… didn’t. Developers would’ve eaten it up, I’m sure. Maybe they got a little stage fright? Who knows.
Not gonna lie, when Unpacked rolled around in July, I was expecting fireworks. Instead, we got crickets. Not a single peek at Project Moohan—and the same goes for their foldy phone. Maybe they’re planning some surprise shindig later?
Okay, so what do we actually know? Not much. But these tidbits are juicy: it’s gonna run on Android XR with a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 + Gen 2 (whatever that means). They’re using micro‑OLED panels from Sony—like when you squint, maybe? No resolution details yet, though. Everything’s hush-hush about this pancake lens business and fancy IPD adjustments. Oh, and get this—they’re throwing in eye and hand-tracking too. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. And honestly, I’m here for it.
They’re also teasing us with talk of VR motion controllers. Anyone else picturing a lightsaber duel? Just me? Anyway, I got my hands on this thing back in December 2024, and let me tell you—it feels like Horizon OS and VisionOS had a futuristic baby. Does that make sense? Probably not. But you had to be there.
So there you have it. Samsung’s got something up its sleeve. Whether we’re ready or not—stay tuned!
