Samsung’s got this headset, right? It’s like, poof, here one moment, then… not really. You’d think after Unpacked or even Google I/O, we’d be swamped with deets. But nah, it was all crickets and whispers. Yet, here we are, holding onto Samsung’s word that this XR headset—“Project Moohan” they call it—is still happening this year. Trust me, I’m as curious as a cat in a cardboard box. Why? Don’t even ask.
In an earnings call the other day—yawn, I know—Daniel Araujo from Samsung’s MX division casually drops this: “We’re dropping cool stuff like our XR headset and, oh yeah, a TriFold smartphone this year.”
They even previewed some image from somewhere. The picture? Looked like futuristic marshmallows.
Okay, but here’s the kicker: Project Moohan was kinda, sorta absent from the big tech events. At Google I/O, they had demos, sure, but it was like the shy kid at the prom—not center stage. You’d think they’d want all the Android developers hyped up and coding like mad. Meh, missed chance, Samsung.
Oh, and the July Samsung Unpacked? Yeah, more like “Unpacked-but-not-really” for Moohan. Also no TriFold phone reveal, just to keep things consistently inconsistent, I guess. Who knows, maybe they’re gearing up for a surprise party later this year.
But let’s piece together the scraps, shall we? Moohan will run on Android XR using Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 + Gen 2. It’s all micro-OLED screens—Sony bits, no less—with pancake lenses (sounds tasty), adjustable eye stuff, and maybe some eye-tracking wizardry. And oh! VR motion controllers, cause, why not?
For those hungry for more intel, there’s this deep dive thing from December 2024 about Moohan. They spill on comfort and how the interface looks like a mashup between Horizon OS and VisionOS. If you’re into that kind of tech cocktail. Or if you’re just curious if it really, truly exists.
So, yeah, Samsung’s XR dream is alive, kinda. Somewhere. Just not splashed across a big screen in our living rooms. Yet.
