Okay, so here’s the thing. Samsung’s new mixed reality headset—yeah, they call it “Project Moohan” for now—is still on its way. They didn’t show it off at their big Unpacked event or even at Google I/O before that. I mean, come on, missed chances much? Didn’t make me feel all comforting inside, you know?
Anyway, they dropped some tidbits during an earnings call recently. Danny Araujo from the mobile side of things said they’re working on this headset and a funky TriFold smartphone. A trifecta of tech, I guess? No clue about the exact launch date or price. No one’s spilling those beans yet.
About the headset though? It’s weirdly low-profile. Like, even at Google I/O, it made a half-hearted appearance. I’d think they’d push it more there since developers are the ones who’ll be slapping apps on this thing, right? Kind of like showing up to a potluck with no dish and just a fork.
And back in July at Samsung’s own do? Nada. Not even the TriFold showed, making me think they’re saving some surprise pop-up event for later. Probably before New Year’s.
Okay, so what do we actually know? It runs on Android XR with Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 + Gen 2. Fancy, huh? It’s got some Sony micro-OLED screens, but don’t ask me the resolution—it’s on the hush-hush. Features? Slim pancake lenses, automatic eye width adjustments, and even vibes like VR controllers, but those are still kept in a mystery box somewhere.
Oh, and there’s eye and hand tracking—like whoa, check me out I’m in the future! It’s all wrapped up with a magnetic shield and a battery you can yank off if you want.
Oh, we did play around with a prototype late last year. Verdict? It’s like a mash-up of Horizon OS and VisionOS. You love a good gadget combo, right?
Anyway—what was I saying? Oh, right—keep your eyes peeled. This headset’s arriving sooner or later, but who really knows when. Just in time to make us debate if reality’s worth it anymore.
