Samsung's Android XR Headset Details Revealed in Leak - Key Insights into Moohan Project
Scoop on Samsung's Project Moohan: A Peek at the Android XR Headset
Get ready to dive into the next-gen VR realm with Samsung's Project Moohan, an Android XR-based headset that's been stirring excitement since last December. The seemingly enigmatic device made impressive appearances during Google I/O 2025, but details about Project Moohan have been kept under wraps. Yet, the shadows are starting to lift, thanks to a recent leak.
Leaker Abhishek Yadav on X shared a potentially juicy tidbit via Android Central, claiming to reveal some hardware specifications. The leak suggests that Project Moohan will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Plus Gen 2 processor, ideal for delivering immersive XR experiences, along with an Adreno 740 GPU tailored for gaming and high refresh rates. The processor's six cores are clocked at 2.36GHz, offering performance that rivals some top-tier Android phones. Geekbench scores indicate solid CPU performance with single and multi-core scores of 990 and 2,453, respectively.
However, the device's software side is still up for debate, as the Geekbench listing shows Project Moohan running Android 14. Google's Android XR is built specifically for XR devices, so it remains unclear whether this is an older build or if XR will sit atop Android 14 or newer versions. To top it off, the tested device boasts a hefty 16GB of RAM.
But enough about numbers and letters, right? Thankfully, our man Phil Michaels got some quality time with Project Moohan during Google I/O. According to him, the headset didn't feel heavy, and he was pleasantly surprised by the optimized Google apps running on Android XR. So, while we're still waiting for details about specs and pricing, it sounds like Samsung's headset is shaping up to be a well-designed experience.
Sadly, Samsung hasn't announced a specific release date for the Android XR headset. But here's hoping we'll get our hands on it before the end of 2025!
