Samsung’s long-rumoured mixed reality headset is finally coming into focus – and it looks like the company’s boldest push yet into the spatial computing world.

Internally codenamed Project Moohan, the device appears to be Samsung’s direct answer to Apple’s Vision Pro – both in looks and ambition. The renders show a sleek, futuristic design featuring dual internal lenses and a wraparound “Light Shield”. Just like Apple’s headset, the Galaxy XR will rely on an external battery pack for power.

The headset’s body is lined with cameras and sensors for tracking and environmental awareness. The device is said to house four sensors beneath the front glass dedicated to hand tracking, two near the nose cutout for monitoring the lower field of view, and a proximity sensor near the forehead that helps the device detect nearby objects and surroundings. Inside, Samsung has reportedly included eye-tracking cameras powered by infrared LEDs and AI, capable of tracking pupil position and gaze movement.
For visual experience, the Galaxy XR reportedly houses dual 4K micro-LED displays with a combined pixel density of over 29 million pixels. Under the hood, it’s said to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chipset, which has been fine-tuned in collaboration with Google and Samsung to deliver next-gen mixed reality performance.
The head strap integrates built-in speakers, while a touchpad on the right side allows for intuitive gestures – a long press re-centers your view, while a double tap toggles between VR and passthrough modes. The headset also includes multiple microphones with intelligent noise isolation and 6DoF controllers featuring analog sticks and haptic feedback for realistic input.
On the software side, Samsung’s interface feels familiar – app icons resemble those from Galaxy smartphones, and full Google Play Store support means a broad app ecosystem.
Battery life is said to clock in at 2.5 hours of video playback or around 2 hours of mixed use, which aligns with other high-end headsets. With all signs pointing to a launch in the coming months, the Galaxy XR could mark Samsung’s biggest hardware comeback – and a serious contender in the race for the next era of computing.
