The launch date of the XR headset from Samsung has been a hot topic of late, with what now appears to be a confirmation from Samsung that it will be launching in 2025. Samsung’s first XR device, a headset that it has termed Project Moohan internally, runs on Google’s upcoming Android XR platform. Google will seemingly be talking about the launch of the first Android XR device at its annual I/O event that happens in May.

Neither Google nor Samsung explicitly mentions Project Moohan by name. However, what they do say paints a pretty clear picture of what to expect. In Google’s I/O schedule, there’s a session dedicated to Android XR, and in it, Google explains that it will be talking about “essential knowledge for the public launch of Android XR later this year.” This, at the very least, signifies that there will be an Android XR device launching in 2025. What suggests it might be Samsung’s Project Moohan headset are previous rumors that it would launch this year. And now that appears to be confirmed.

Samsung seemingly confirms XR launch date for later this year

It’s worth reiterating that Samsung doesn’t specifically mention Project Moohan or an official name for it. However, its latest earnings call highlights the exploration of a new product segment. Specifically, XR.

“In H2 2025, the MX Business will strengthen its foldable lineup by offering a differentiated AI user experience. In addition, the Business will launch new ecosystem products with enhanced AI and health capabilities, and explore new product segments such as XR,” the company says.

Again, while Samsung doesn’t mention Project Moohan or an exact launch date, it’s not hard to deduce what is being discussed. Samsung is seemingly working on only one XR product at the moment. That would be Project Moohhan. The XR headset that it’s partnering with Google to make. In “exploring” the new XR product segment later this year, Samsung is almost certainly referencing a hardware launch.

H2 refers to the second half of the year

This is the other key detail that signifies Samsung is looking to launch an XR device near the end of the year. H2 refers to the second half of the year. Where the use of the label Q2 refers to the second quarter.

Of course, the second half of the year begins in July, so, technically, Samsung could launch an XR device anytime between July and the end of December. Having said that, it seems more likely that the headset will be coming later in the year than in July. Samsung may not even launch the headset in the Summer. It may, however, show off more of it at its upcoming Unpacked, which does happen during the Summer. So even if it doesn’t launch the headset this early, it might at least give out more details about it.
