Overview

  • Korean outlet NewsWorks, cited by multiple publications, reports the headset reveal will occur at a Galaxy Unpacked event on September 29 with South Korean retail availability on October 13 and a gradual global rollout.
  • Leaked pricing targets 2.5–4 million won, translating to roughly $1,800–$2,800 (up to about $3,000 depending on conversion), positioning the device below Apple’s Vision Pro but well above mainstream headsets.
  • Reported specs include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2, dual micro‑OLED displays at 90Hz, around a dozen cameras, an external battery pack, Android XR software, and in some reports 16GB of RAM.
  • The product name remains unconfirmed, with codenames such as Project Moohan and Project Infinite and possible consumer branding like Galaxy XR.
  • Coverage frames the device as a premium showcase with constrained volumes this year and as a stepping stone toward Samsung smart glasses expected as early as 2026.
