We have been hearing about Samsung's collaboration with Google and Qualcomm for an XR project for quite some time. It was not until December that we got a teaser of the Android XR headset, with it being showcased for the first time during the Galaxy Unpacked 2025 in January. Since then, the tech community has been hooked on Project Moohan and is anticipating its unveiling. Well, the unveiling does not seem far away, as the South Korean tech giant is said to be revealing further details about it at the MWC 2025.
Samsung is set to unveil its first Android XR headset at the MWC 2025 and shake things up for Apple's Vision Pro and Meta's Quest
It seems that 2025 is the year companies are taking a leap in AI technology on various fronts, and that includes the AI-driven extended reality as well. According to Samsung's preview of MWC 2025 (March 3-6), the company will be unveiling its much-awaited Android XR headset, codenamed Project Moohan. This would be the company's official entry into the XR space, where it would be in direct competition with Apple's Vision Pro and Meta's Quest. Since both products have marked their places firmly, the South Korean tech giants pivoting in that direction would be met with some tough competition.
Samsung is expected to leverage AI, Android XR, and Google Gemini AI assistants and offer smartphone integrations. In comparison to Apple, it is expected to opt for a more open software ecosystem. The company will focus on multimodal AI with advanced XT capabilities, bringing forward a more personalized user experience and more contextually aware interactions. As per the preview:
By integrating multimodal AI with advanced XR capabilities, this ground-breaking device marks a significant step toward more context-aware and personalized experiences that enhance everyday life in incredibly immersive ways.
The XR headset would be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 processor and would come with an external battery that can be connected with a USB-C cable for larger power needs. We got a glimpse of Project Moohan in January 2025 when it was showcased during the Galaxy Unpacked. It seems to mirror Apple's Vision Pro elements with a modern and sleek outlook and has some aspects of Meta's Quest as well.
The Mobile World Congress (MWC) kicks off today in Barcelona, and we will get a more in-depth look at the headset, its capabilities, and its design as Samsung aims to make its mark in the AI-powered extended reality market.
