Samsung’s Project Moohan XR Headset: Everything we know so far

Under the hood, the Android-based device will supposedly run on Qualcomm’s powerful Snapdragon XR2 Plus Gen 2 chip, as mentioned above can handle 4.3K resolution at 90 frames per second. And according to rumour, users will not require a traditional controller for the device. The headset is rumoured to use an array of internal and external sensors, allowing people to operate it using just their hands, eyes, and voice. It’s also confirmed to integrate Google’s Gemini AI assistant, making it smarter right out of the box.

The device reportedly weighs 545 grams (19.2 ounces). Battery life appears to be the trade-off for performance, clocking in at around two hours of general use or 2.5 hours for video playback. To fix that, a power connector on the left side is there to hook up to an external battery pack. Comfort features include an adjustment dial for the head strap, internal cushioning, and detachable light shields to block the real world out.

The interface looks familiar, running Samsung’s One UI software and including crucial apps like Google Maps, YouTube, Netflix, and the Play Store. If the buzz is real, we’ll know soon enough: South Korean media outlet Etnews points to an October 21st launch date. Get ready for a new player in the XR space.
