Sure, let’s dive into this mess:

So, hey, it’s that time again — Samsung’s about to do its whole Unpacked thing. Happens next month, I think. Usual parade of gadgets is expected, like the new flashy foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7. Oh, and don’t forget the Galaxy Watch 8. But hold up, there might be a wildcard. Rumor has it they’re also tossing their XR headset, Project Moohan, into the spotlight. Curious, right?
I recall—no idea why—back in December 2024 (that feels like yesterday or a decade ago), Samsung teased us with Project Moohan. It’s supposed to be the first to roll with Google’s new XR system. But, honestly, they’ve been all coy about launch dates. Typical.
And, here’s a juicy bit from ‘Panda Flash’—a serial leaker (not the breakfast cereal, though it’s breakfast time as I write this). They’re saying this mixed reality gizmo might finally get a release date. Part of me wonders if we heard a peep about this at Google I/O last month, but nah, Samsung’s playing it close to their chest.
Oh! Here’s an awkward photo caption moment—imagine a cool pic of Project Moohan hovering like a techno ghost above these words. Yeah, let’s channel ‘The Verge’ vibes here.
Back to leaks. Panda Flash is on the case with Z Flip 7 and Fold 7 gossip. Apparently, that headset’s launching first in South Korea. Pretty strategic, right? Kinda like when Apple launched its Vision Pro in the US before spreading the tech love elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Samsung has been showing off this supposed Vision Pro rival at random events. I remember they let us fiddle with it last December. But the full deets? Nada. They’re tight-lipped about specs.
So here’s what I pieced together — Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 + Gen 2 (a mouthful), some mysterious Sony micro-OLED panels, pancake lenses (yup, sounds edible), automatic IPD doohickeys, and some neat support for eye and hand-tracking. There’s also a magnetic light shield thingy and an external battery pack because, of course. Controllers? Who knows! Not me.
And what about smart glasses, you ask? Samsung might be cooking something to rival Ray-Ban’s Meta Smart Glasses. “Might” being the keyword because, really, it’s all smoke and mirrors until it’s not.
So, let’s keep our fingers crossed for those Samsung Unpacked deets. Supposedly early next month in NYC. I’ll believe it when I see it. Or maybe hear about it over coffee.

And that’s the scoop. Or my version of it, anyway.
