Samsung is preparing for its Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22, 2025, where it will unveil its newest flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S25 Series. There are also thrilling speculations about a new device: an extended reality (XR) headset, currently known as ‘Project Moohan.’ The term means “infinity” in Korean and was first disclosed in December 2024, aimed to rival the Apple Vision Pro.
The headset was first demonstrated when Google launched its Android XR operating system in December 2024. This gadget will be the inaugural device utilizing this new OS, which was crafted in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm. Although Samsung had previously released a virtual reality headset back in 2015, this forthcoming XR headset merges elements of augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality.
One of the standout features of the anticipated headset is its passthrough functionality, enabling users to perceive their actual surroundings while using the gadget. This capability is akin to what rivals like Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3 provide. Furthermore, the headset will accommodate Google’s AI assistant and will be equipped with applications optimized for a large virtual display.
Owing to the Android XR operating system, users can anticipate numerous exciting features. These include the ability to search through hand motions, navigate the web with Google Chrome, investigate immersive views via Google Maps, and even receive live translations of text encountered in their surroundings. In summary, Project Moohan signifies Samsung’s thrilling leap into the realm of wearable tech.
Meanwhile, the upcoming Samsung S25 Series is poised to replace the Galaxy S24 series, which was launched in India the previous January. In anticipation of the release, a leak has emerged regarding the expected pricing for the imminent Galaxy S25 smartphones, suggesting they may be priced higher than those of their predecessors across all variants.
