Mission Moohan was a no-show at Samsung’s Galaxy product occasion yesterday, giving the corporate even fewer alternatives to announce and launch the Imaginative and prescient Professional competitor by yr’s finish.
Samsung confirmed in early August that Mission Moohan is coming earlier than the top of the yr, though we nonetheless don’t know its title, launch date, or worth.
At its latest Galaxy occasion, the corporate unveiled quite a lot of cell units, together with Galaxy S25 FE, Galaxy Tab S11, and Galaxy Tab S11 Extremely. Simply not Mission Moohan.
A latest report from Korea’s Newsworks maintained Moohan can be featured at Samsung Unpacked, which is rumored to happen on September twenty ninth. Nonetheless, that’s awfully near the Galaxy product occasion, which occurred yesterday.
The Newswork report maintains Mission Moohan—which implies ‘Infinite’ in Korean—is rumored to launch first in South Korea on October thirteenth, priced at someplace between ₩2.5 and ₩4 million South Korean received, or between $1,800 and $2,900 USD.
Nonetheless, it’s pretty odd that Samsung hasn’t taken extra of a possibility to hype the blended actuality headset, which would be the first to run Google’s Android XR working system.
Samsung has primarily stored the lid pretty tight on Moohan because it was introduced in December 2024; it was usually obtainable for demo behind closed doorways at occasions like MWC in March and Google I/O in June, though it was conspicuously absent from Unpacked in January and the second Unpacked in July… and now the Galaxy product occasion.
With claims of launching in South Korea first, and at round $2,000, it may very well be that Samsung is anticipating pretty low gross sales volumes from the standalone MR headset, which admittedly has some pretty good specs underneath the hood.
Right here’s the wanting it: Moohan packs in a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 + Gen 2, twin micro‑OLED panels (decision specs but), pancake lenses, computerized interpupillary distance (IPD) adjustment, help for eye and hand-tracking, elective magnetically-attached gentle protect, and a detachable exterior battery pack. It’s additionally getting VR movement controllers of some kind, however we nonetheless haven’t seen these both.
You possibly can be taught extra by testing our hands-on with Mission Moohan from December 2024, which incorporates all the pieces from consolation, show readability, and the way Android XR seems quite a bit like Horizon OS mixed with VisionOS.
