Samsung Galaxy XR Project Moohan headset leaked with full specs and renders

Samsung’s long-rumoured mixed-reality headset has surfaced in detail ahead of launch, thanks to a new report from AndroidHeadlines. Internally codenamed Project Moohan, the device represents Samsung’s first major step into the extended-reality space, signalling its serious push to rival players like Apple and Meta. We saw the headset at MWC 2025, and now official-looking renders and leaked specs give us a clearer glimpse at what we can expect from Samsung’s upcoming XR bet.

Samsung XR headset design and hardware details revealed

Official-looking renders show a design clearly inspired by Apple’s Vision Pro, complete with a glass front panel, multiple sensors, and an external battery pack. The Galaxy XR headset uses two internal lenses with a wraparound “Light Shield” for a snug fit, while four front sensors handle hand tracking and two additional cameras near the nose track the lower field of view. A proximity sensor near the forehead detects physical surroundings such as walls and ceilings.
