Qualcomm’s recent Snapdragon Summit 2025 caught the world of top tech by surprise, as Samsung drew a crowd by disclosing its much-anticipated Project Moohan, its XR headset, displayed in a glass case.
In contradiction to what leaks and tipsters estimated, Samsung made no mention of Project Moohan's specifications, yet the disclosure has stirred discussions within the XR and mobile tech communities.
A look at the Project Moohan XR headset paints a picture of Samsung’s ambitions in the highly competitive mixed reality landscape.
Samsung Project Moohan design revealed at Snapdragon Summit 2025
The latest Samsung headset features a sleek, fully branded design, meaning a range of advanced capabilities are on the cards. Spectators were of the view that it resembled earlier XR prototypes from both Samsung and Google.
Reports suggest that Project Moohan might use Sony OLED displays to deliver ultra-sharp resolution, up to 1,000 nits of brightness, and smooth performance at 90 frames per second.
Moreover, leaks have also claimed that Snapdragon 8 Elite chips will power Samsung's latest XR headset. If there's even a little to be trusted, the latest Snapdragon chips will likely incorporate advanced AI features like intelligent video speed control, real-time image enhancement, and smart editing tools.
Analysts believe this headset is an arch-rival to Meta’s Quest series and the Apple Vision Pro, offering a blend of productivity tools, immersive experiences, and enterprise applications.
Project Moohan expected launch date
Although the Galaxy maker hasn't reflected on Project Moohan's launch, both industry insiders and prolific tipsters have speculated that Samsung plans to officially launch Project Moohan on October 21, 2025.
What might fray Samsung enthusiasts' nerves is that the company might roll out 100,000 units initially. The limited release is anticipated to allow Samsung to test performance, gather user feedback, and refine the software before a wider global launch.
Credible sources in the tech space hint at the integration with Google’s Gemini AI platform, which could place it among the smartest XR devices in the market.
