Samsung is set to launch its first Android XR headset, codenamed Project Moohan or Project Infinite, on October 13, 2025. The device will be unveiled first in South Korea during a Galaxy Unpacked event on September 29. Built in partnership with Google and Qualcomm, the headset combines virtual, augmented, and mixed reality into one platform.
Several reports suggest it will be priced somewhere between $1,800 and $2,900. This puts Samsung’s headset at a price point cheaper than Apple’s Vision Pro and far higher than Meta’s Quest 3. Looking at the price, it’s safe to assume that the headset will be one for the premium category, aimed at early adopters and professionals.
It will run on the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip, promising smooth performance for demanding XR applications. The headset is also expected to feature Sony’s 1.3-inch 4K micro-OLED displays, giving over 13 million pixels per eye. This is even sharper than Apple’s Vision Pro and could set a new benchmark for clarity in immersive experiences.
On the software side, this device will run Android XR, giving users access to familiar Play Store apps redesigned for spatial computing. It may also include Gemini AI integration, which could make navigation, multitasking, and creative work easier in mixed reality environments. Hand tracking and eye tracking are expected as well, making it more natural to use without always relying on controllers.
The headset will come with 16 GB of RAM with enough support and bandwidth for both entertainment and productivity tasks. If reports are to be believed, Samsung will begin with a limited release of about 100,000 units initially. With a highly competitive market under the lens, this initial cautious rollout suggests that the company is looking at testing the waters before jumping right in.
The part that might appeal to gamers the most lies in high-resolution visuals, powerful hardware, and Android’s wide ecosystem. Given that the price is higher than mainstream headsets, it won’t be an impulse buy but rather one based on research and passion.
Some questions around comfort, battery life, and game support still remain unanswered. If Samsung delivers on these fronts, this headset could emerge as a strong competitor to Apple and Meta.
