We are only hours away from the Galaxy Unpacked event. While we’re eagerly waiting for Samsung to unveil the Galaxy S25 series, the company reportedly has plans to surprise all of us with something much bigger. According to a report from Business Korea, the company might showcase its XR headset, Project Moohan in the event.
As per industry sources, Samsung is set to introduce its XR headset with some videos. The company could also offer a hands-on demo of the headset at the event. While leaks revealed so far sound promising, it remains to be seen if the headset is indeed Samsung’s answer to Apple’s Vision Pro and Meta’s Quest 3.
The Galaxy Unpacked event is set to take place in San Jose, California, on January 22 at 10:00 am PT (11:30 PM IST). You can stream it live from Samsung’s website or official YouTube channel.
Samsung’s XR headset is developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm
For those unfamiliar, Samsung’s Project Moohan (the headset) is developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm for the OS and chipset. The headset uses Google’s Android XR operating system, which is reportedly designed for extended reality devices. For processing, the headset packs the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2.
This is the successor to the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2, which powers Meta’s latest mixed-reality headset – Quest 3. So, at least on the surface level, Samsung’s XR device has a higher raw performance capability and it possibly can do more than the already impressive Quest 3.
Google has already shared a few details about Samsung’s new project. It supports Google’s Find My Device and includes at least two app viewing modes.

Extended reality devices are certainly not mainstream yet and it will be interesting to see how much progress Samsung Google and Qualcomm have made towards that direction. I am personally excited to see the design, weight, and battery life of the device.
Apple couldn’t include the battery (which weighs over 350 grams) inside the headset as it would just make the product heavier. For those wondering, AVP weighs 600 -650g without the battery. Of course, these are high-performance devices and require a lot compute and power to operate.
