Samsung Unveils Project Moohan XR Headset at MWC 2025, Plans to Launch XR Website
At the ongoing Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 in Barcelona, Samsung is offering a glimpse of its upcoming extended reality headset, known as Project Moohan. Initially hinted at during the second Galaxy Unpacked event of 2024, the device is now the subject of a new CNBC report, which states that Samsung has confirmed plans to introduce its first extended reality website later this year.
The report quoted Patrick Chomet, executive vice president at Samsung’s mobile division, as saying, “Probably for quite some time still, the smartphone will be the most used device,” while also hinting that Samsung’s XR headset will be a breakthrough product that combines “advanced vision capability with Intelligence,”
Samsung has been working on the $3,500 Vision Pro for a while now, speculated to be the first commercial VR headset to launch with Android XR OS, developed by Google, featuring native Gemini AI experiences. At present, there is no information on whether Samsung’s Moohan XR headset will be as expensive as the Vision Pro or if it will be slightly more affordable.

Apple Vision Pro Sets the Bar High, but Pricing Remains a Hurdle
While there are already several XR headsets available in the market, few rival the Apple Vision Pro, which has set a new benchmark in terms of performance and user experience. However, due to its high price, it hasn’t been as commercially successful as Apple had hoped. Most users would simply opt for a Meta Quest headset, as the entry-level Quest 2 costs less than one-tenth the price of the Vision Pro.
Samsung is also reportedly working on an XR headset in the form of smart glasses, similar to offerings from brands like Meta and Snap. This form factor is anticipated to be the ultimate goal for XR devices, making them more compact and convenient for everyday use. In 2024, Meta showcased Orion, a cutting-edge pair of smart glasses designed to expand augmented reality into a more portable and user-friendly format.
