Samsung to Launch Android XR Headset to Rival Apple Vision Pro in September 2025
Samsung is preparing to introduce its first extended reality (XR) headset, developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm. Codenamed Project Moohan, the device will run on Google’s newly introduced Android XR platform and be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2 Plus Gen 2 chip.
Initially teased during the second Galaxy Unpacked event in 2024, the device was expected to launch by the end of this year. However, a report from Korean outlet Newspim suggests the release may come sooner, with Samsung likely unveiling the Android XR headset during its own event on 9 September 2025. A South Korean market release is anticipated by 13 October, followed by a global rollout.
Samsung may also preview the headset’s prototype and teaser videos during the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event in July. The company is reportedly working on improving common XR device concerns like weight, battery life, and performance, aiming to compete directly with Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest.
Project Moohan will utilize Google’s Android XR, announced in December 2024 as an “open, unified platform for XR headsets and glasses.” Android XR devices will support mobile and tablet apps from the Play Store by default. Google is also adapting key apps like Maps, Photos, and YouTube for XR use. The XR version of Chrome will support internet browsing with multiple windows to enhance multitasking. Gemini AI features, including new multimodal capabilities, are expected to be integrated.
While Samsung has not disclosed details such as price, final specs, or product name, more information is likely in the coming months as the company positions itself against Apple and Meta in the immersive hardware space.
