Samsung’s first XR headset, currently codenamed Project Moohan, has already been showcased by the company a bunch of times, but it’s still not fully official. A new report out of Korea claims the company has now set a date for its unveiling: September 29.
Then, it will become available for purchase on October 13, in Korea first. After the domestic market launch, it will gradually start to make its way to other places.
This will be the first headset to use Android XR, which, as the name implies, is a version of Android made specifically for such headsets. Android XR itself was initially announced last year and is jointly developed by Google and Samsung, following their co-development success with the last few versions of Wear OS.
You won’t be surprised to find out that Android XR will include Google’s Gemini AI. The Samsung headset is using Qualcomm’s XR+ Gen 2 chipset, which is apparently manufactured by Samsung using a 4nm process.
Before its full unveiling, the Samsung XR headset will be showcased once again at the company’s Unpacked event next month, where it will announce the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7.
