So, here’s the scoop, and how did I get into this rabbit hole? Samsung, right? They’ve got this mixed reality headset thing called “Project Moohan.” Sounds like a mystery novel, doesn’t it? Anyway, they didn’t bother mentioning it at their big Unpacked event or even at Google’s I/O. Felt like waiting for a surprise party where nobody yelled “surprise.” But don’t panic—they’re saying it’s still coming out this year. Somewhere. Somehow.
Okay, there was this earnings call, or was it some kind of financial mumbo-jumbo? Whatever! Daniel Araujo—cool guy from Samsung’s ‘MX’ division—said they’re rolling out next-gen products like this XR headset and a TriFold smartphone. A three-fold phone—it bends more than my yoga instructor.
Wait, am I going off-topic? Back to Moohan! The headset was absent at both I/O and Unpacked. Can you believe it? Total ghost mode. Missed connections, like when you bring a great book to a party but never open it. At least it could’ve given Android developers something to chew on.
And, deja vu?! The TriFold phone was also MIA at Unpacked. There’s a hunch (a small one, mind you) that Samsung’s prepping another event before the year packs its bags.
Now, details are still in the fog. We don’t know the launch date or price—typical cliffhanger stuff. Here’s the deets we’ve managed to scrape: Project Moohan uses Android XR with Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 + Gen 2. It’s got micro-OLED panels from Sony—resolution still TBD. Slim pancake lenses? Sounds tasty, but they’re actually about optics. Automatic IPD adjustment, eye and hand-tracking, and a battery you can swap out? Handy. Yet, the motion controllers are still playing hooky.
Want more? We had some hands-on time with Moohan back in December 2024. It’s like Horizon OS meets VisionOS, but…well, only Samsung knows what it’s really like. So, yep, waiting game continues. Until then, just imagine the possibilities… or get distracted like I do when I see a squirrel.
