Guess what? Samsung Unpacked is coming up soon (yeah, like next month), and they’re probably gonna blow our minds with all sorts of tech goodies. We’re talking the latest foldable stuff—Galaxy Z Flip 7, Fold 7—and maybe even the Galaxy Watch 8. But hey, rumors are swirling like a tornado, saying they might also show off their new XR headset, dubbed Project Moohan. You might have heard they chatted about this back in December 2024 (time flies, right?) alongside that Android XR system. Oh yeah, no name yet or set-in-stone launch date, but fingers crossed it’s this year.
Now, there’s this leaker—Panda Flash, ever heard of him?—spilling the beans that this mixed reality gadget could make its grand entrance at Unpacked. We were all thinking Google I/O would be the spot for a teaser, but nope, nada. Looks like Samsung’s keeping it on the down-low for now.
Anyway, Panda Flash (seriously nifty name, huh?) is betting that South Korea gets dibs on the headset first, and then the world gets its chance, sorta like Apple’s playbook with the Vision Pro. By the way, those who’ve caught a glimpse of this headset at events say it’s a potential rival for the Vision Pro—but Samsung’s lips are sealed on the nitty-gritty details.
What do we know? Not much, but here’s a few tidbits: the Android XR headset’s rockin’ a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 + Gen 2, some mysterious Sony micro-OLED screens, pancake lenses, something cool with IPD adjustments, and options for eye and hand-tracking. Oh, and a magnetically-snappy light shield and a removable battery pack are in the mix. Controllers? Allegedly there. Renders? Nope.
And there might just be more—Samsung’s reportedly dabbling in smart glasses too. Who wouldn’t want to give Ray-Ban’s Meta Smart Glasses a run for their money, right? So, let’s keep our ears to the ground for when this whole shebang—Samsung Unpacked—really kicks off in New York City next month. Can’t wait to see what rides in on that hype train.
