New leaks from Android Headlines give us a sneak peek at what might be Samsung’s new XR headset. This gadget, known as “Project Moohan,” combines virtual, augmented, and mixed reality tech into one device. It looks like Samsung is getting ready to shake things up in the immersive tech world.
Right off the bat, the screen stands out. This headset reportedly uses a micro-OLED display with a crisp 4K resolution. It boasts an impressive 4,032 pixels per inch (ppi). That number is actually higher than the Apple Vision Pro, which has 3,386 ppi. So, Samsung might be aiming for incredibly sharp visuals.
The reports also spill details about what powers this device. Project Moohan will pack the Snapdragon XR2 Plus Gen 2 processing chip. This allows it to handle stunning 4.3K visuals at 90 frames per second for each eye. Plus, there are whispers that it will come loaded with Gemini AI. This could make the headset super smart and responsive to your needs.
Controlling the headset sounds pretty intuitive. It will likely feature many sensors, both on the front and inside. This means users can control things using their hands, eyes, and even their voice. Imagine looking at an icon and simply talking to select it.
Weight matters when you wear something on your head for a while. This headset weighs around 545 grams. Battery life is decent, lasting up to two hours for general use, or two and a half hours when watching videos. A cable on the left side connects to an external battery, keeping the headset lighter. It also has a dial on the side to adjust the head strap. Inside, you’ll find soft padding for comfort. There’s also a removable piece to block out outside light, helping you stay immersed.
The image above shows the interface, which looks like an Android One-based system. This means you’d have many familiar apps right away. We see apps like Camera, Gallery, Google Maps, Google Photos, Play Store, YouTube, Netflix, and a web browser. It suggests a user-friendly and connected experience.
If these rumors hold true, we might not have long to wait. Etnews previously reported that Samsung could launch Project Moohan as early as October 21st. Keep an eye out for what Samsung brings to the XR table.
