Reports: Samsung to Reveal Android XR Headset on Sept. 29, South Korea Sales Start Oct. 13

Reported pricing alongside a limited run signals a showcase device meant to seed Android XR.

Overview

  • Korean outlet NewsWorks, echoed by multiple tech sites, reports a Galaxy Unpacked debut on September 29 with first retail availability in South Korea on October 13 and a staggered global rollout thereafter.
  • Leaks place the price between 2.5 million and 4 million won (roughly $1,800–$2,800), undercutting Apple’s Vision Pro but far above mass‑market options like Meta’s Quest 3.
  • The headset has been reported to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2, dual micro‑OLED displays at 90Hz, 12 cameras, an external battery pack, and Google’s Android XR with Gemini integration.
  • NewsWorks also reports a 2025 shipment target of about 100,000 units, indicating a premium, low‑volume strategy rather than a broad consumer push.
  • The product’s final name remains unclear in coverage, with references to Project Moohan or Project Infinite and speculation it could ship under a Galaxy XR brand.
