Samsung’s Project Moohan XR Headset Could Be Unveiled at Next Month’s Unpacked Event

Sure thing. Let’s dive into this whirlwind of futuristic tech chaos.

Okay, so Samsung. You know how they always seem to drop a bunch of shiny gadgets like they’re Oprah handing out freebies? Well, next month’s Unpacked event might just be another go at that. But wait, there’s a twist! Besides their new foldable phones—what was it? Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7? And their Galaxy Watch 8—there’s this mysterious Project Moohan headset, supposedly ready for its big debut. I swear, if you blink, you might miss it.

Here’s the weird part: Project Moohan came out of nowhere. It got announced along with Android XR back in December 2024, right? It’s slated to be the first gizmo running Google’s XR OS. Samsung’s been pretty hush-hush, but said we would see it this year. But ping them for a date, and it’s crickets. Funny how that works.

So there’s this person, ‘Panda Flash’—please don’t ask why that’s the name—who’s dropping hints that Samsung might finally give us a date for this headset at the event. I was really hoping for some news at Google I/O—didn’t you expect that too? But nada. Guess Samsung decided to keep its cards close to its chest.

Oh, wait. About ‘Panda Flash.’ Whoever they are, they’ve been all over the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7 gossip mill. Anyway, they’re saying the headset will hit South Korea first. Then the rest of the world gets a taste. Kinda like how Apple toys with our patience, launching its Vision Pro in the US before anywhere else, just to keep us on our toes.

Honestly, I’ve seen this so-called Vision Pro rival at a bunch of events. Got my hands on it back in December. But try getting Samsung to spill the beans on all the specs? You’d have better luck getting a cat into a bath.

Anyway, here’s what I do know: it’s got this Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 + Gen 2 chip, fancy micro-OLED screens from Sony (resolution? who knows), and these nifty pancake lenses. It even adjusts to your eyes (IPD or something like that), and tracks your gaze and hand moves. There’s this optional light shield too, that clicks on magnetically. And let’s not forget the detachable battery—because nothing screams convenience like bits you might accidentally leave behind. They’ve got some VR controllers in the works. Just… don’t ask me what they look like.

Oh, and Samsung’s tinkering with smart glasses too? Imagine trying to out-glass Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. Haven’t wrapped my head around that one yet.

So, yeah. Keeping an eye out for those official event dates. Something tells me all eyes will be on New York City early next month. Just a hunch.
