From Samsung Galaxy Unpacked, Kate is bringing you a first look at Project Moohan in person. The XR headset is a collaboration between Samsung, Google and Qualcomm powered by Android XR. Now, we know that this has been in the works, but now it has a name (in progress, obviously) and we know what it looks like thanks to it being on display. We're seeing cameras all around, and a pin connector that could mean a tethered battery, but that's all TBD.

00:00Hey guys, what's going on? I'm at Galaxy Unpacked and we have a big surprise right behind me.
00:05There have been rumors of a Galaxy Samsung Mixed Reality headset for a long time now,
00:11but it's here and it's called Project Muhan.
00:15Project Muhan is a collaboration with Samsung, Google, and Qualcomm,
00:18and it will be powered by Android XR, which we've learned a little bit about earlier this year.
00:24Right off the bat, we can see that it is a Mixed Reality headset
00:27that looks very similar to a certain Mixed Reality headset they came out last year.
00:32Of course, I'm talking about Apple Vision Pro.
00:34I'm similarly seeing cameras around the front lens.
00:37Those will likely power the Mixed Reality experiences with pass-through vision.
00:41I'm also seeing a pin connector on the side.
00:44I'm guessing that's going to be for a tethered battery.
00:47Now, that's something that if they could integrate,
00:49that would be a big pro over the Apple Vision Pro, but again, we'll have to see.
00:54Another thing I'm noticing is the strap around the side.
00:56There's a bit of a support in the back of the head there.
00:59That could help with comfort.
01:00I really wish I'd actually be able to try it on, see how it feels in person,
01:04because weight and comfort has been a big barrier to adoption for headsets such as these.
01:10You don't want to go out and actually wear something that's not that comfortable, right?
01:14Otherwise, we don't know too much about Project Muhan, M-O-O-H-N, right now.
01:20I'm guessing that's not going to be the ultimate name of this headset when it comes out,
01:24but Samsung has said in Galaxy Impact that we're going to be finding out more details later in 2025.
01:32Some big questions that remain will be the weight, the battery life, the specs of the inner displays.
01:39Needless to say, there's going to be more to come, so make sure you're subscribed to this channel
01:43so you don't miss any news about Project Muhan.
01:46And let us know in the comments if this is something that you're interested in that we should be covering more of.
01:50I've already posted another first look up on TikTok, so make sure you're following us there.
01:54Anyway, that's it from me at Galaxy Impact in front of Project Muhan, giving you one of your first looks.
02:00Thanks for watching. I'll catch you next time.
02:01I'll catch you next time.
