Apple launched the Vision Pro high-end VR headset back in February of this year. As you probably know, it can be integrated with a Mac for an immersive experience with a large virtual display. Now the news is that Samsung is about to launch the “Android version of Vision Pro”, which is also expected to compete with Apple’s $3,500 offering.
The Apple Vision Pro alternative from Samsung
Soon after the launch of the Vision Pro, it was revealed that Samsung and a number of Chinese manufacturers are also working on the form factor to grab the market share.
According to the latest leak, Samsung’s upcoming headset is codenamed Moohan. The developer version of it will be available in October and the consumer version will be available in March 2025. Reportedly, Samsung will deliver the headset to developers in October this year, and will officially announce the product at the Galaxy S25 series launch conference in 2025. The headset is expected to go on sale in March.
Samsung’s alternative to Apple Vision Pro will reportedly come with two 1.03-inch OLED screens with a resolution of 2500×2500. It means a pixel density of 3500PPI. The displays will offer a refresh rate of 90Hz.
For context, the Apple Vision Pro offers 1.41-inch displays that have 3,660 × 3,200 resolution and a pixel density of 3,386 PPI. So the Apple Vision Pro could still beat Samsung’s offering in immersion. Nonetheless, the overall user experience will also depend on the OS.
According to a previous report, the headset will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2+ Gen2 processor, and will also boast 12 built-in cameras. The device is expected to be priced around 10,000 Yuan, which is equivalent to $1,377.
