Samsung is expected to launch its Project Moohan XR headset as soon as this month, but a leak shared by Android Headlines may give us an early look at its specs. The leak suggests that the Android-based headset will offer a 4K micro-OLED display with 4,032 pixels per inch — higher than 3,386ppi on the Apple Vision Pro.
Android Headlines reports that Project Moohan could feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2 Plus Gen 2 processor, which supports 4.3K resolution at 90fps per eye. It’s also rumored to come with several sensors on the front and inside of the device, allowing users to control it with their hands, eyes, and voice. Those details track with what my colleague Victoria Song experienced during a demo of the headset last year, which revealed that it will come with Google’s Gemini AI assistant built in.
The device also weighs 545 grams (19.2 ounces), according to Android Headlines, and may come with a battery life of up to two hours of general use, or 2.5 hours of video playback — a spec that seems a tad counterintuitive. There’s also a power connector on the left side of the headset that connects to a battery pack, Android Headlines says. Some other details mentioned by the outlet include a dial to adjust the head strap, cushioning on the inside of the headset, and detachable light shields that block out light from your environment.
A screenshot of Samsung’s One UI-flavored interface shows Samsung’s camera, gallery, and web browser apps, along with Google Maps, Google Photos, the Play Store, YouTube, and Netflix. If the rumors are true, we may not have to wait much longer to see if this report pans out, as Etnews reports that Samsung could launch the device on October 21st.
