Alright, buckle up. So, Samsung’s doing this whole mixed reality headset thing. I mean, they’re not exactly shouting it from the rooftops. The last few big tech events? Nada. Not at Unpacked, not at Google I/O. Kinda peculiar, right? But hey, don’t worry—Samsung’s still got it on their to-do list for this year.
In some earnings chat, Samsung dropped a little hint about this headset, calling it ‘Project Moohan.’ But here’s the kicker: they didn’t bother giving us much else. Name? Nope. Launch date? Nah. Price? Your guess is as good as mine. I suppose Daniel Araujo from their mobile division just wanted to keep it mysterious or something. They also mentioned a TriFold smartphone. Yeah, so, there’s that too.
But here’s something: they had some press demos at Google I/O, yet didn’t really roll out the red carpet. Which is weird, because, you know, Android developers could probably use a sneak peek at the thing they’re expected to create apps for.
And don’t even get me started on Samsung Unpacked in July. Project Moohan was MIA. The TriFold smartphone was a no-show too, so maybe they’re gearing up for another event later this year? Who knows.
Alright, so here’s the tiny bit we do know: Project Moohan’s running on Android XR through Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 + Gen 2. And yeah, those micro-OLED panels are from Sony—no details on resolution yet. Supposedly some fancy pancake lenses, automatic IPD adjustment, eye and hand-tracking, you name it. There’s an optional light shield with magnets—fancy. And it’s sporting a detachable battery pack. Oh, and it should work with VR controllers, but again, no sign of those yet.
If you’re itching for more deets, there’s a hands-on from December 2024. Talks about comfort, display quality, and how Android XR’s like a mashup of Horizon OS and VisionOS. Sounds intriguing, right?
So yeah, that’s the latest. Samsung’s keeping us in suspense like it’s some sort of mystery novel. Maybe they’ll spill the beans soon. Or not.
