Samsung’s ‘Project Moohan’ leaks as Galaxy XR, with renders, screenshots, and specs [Gallery]

Samsung’s on the cusp of finally giving its long-awaited “Project Moohan” headset a full reveal, but if you can’t wait until this month’s rumored launch later this month, a new set of leaked renders and screenshots might be enough to tide you over.

Android Headlines published an in-depth look at leaked assets for the “Galaxy XR,” supposedly the official name of Project Moohan, and so far, it looks like the Apple Vision Pro competitor many of us were expecting. We’ve seen Galaxy XR plenty of times in the wild — Samsung showed it off at the Galaxy S25 launch event and at Mobile World Congress, and our own Abner Li went hands-on with an early version last December. These renders, which appear to be sourced from somewhere within Samsung, showcase the device from practically every angle.

Largely speaking, this device appears to be pretty in-line with modern VR/XR headset design. You have two lenses hiding a 4K micro-OLED display under a passed forehead rest, an adjustable strap that reaches around the back with a tension knob for tightening, and an attached battery pack for keeping as much weight off your face as possible.

A leaked image showing how the device appears to fit on someone’s head — again, in a very Apple-like fashion — makes it all the more clear: this is more in line with something like the Meta Quest than the futuristic vision of smart glasses that Android XR, in part, promises.

This leak also includes a handful of UI screenshots, running “One UI XR” over Google’s new headset-focused OS. Largely speaking, it looks pretty clean, boasting a home screen with a handful of Samsung, Google, and third-party apps like Netflix and Calm. A menu bar along the top of the home screen delivers access to the home panel, Google Search, Gemini, and various settings and notifications options. All that, plus the date and time, of course.

We’re also getting some leaked information about the Galaxy XR’s specs. Powering that micro-OLED panel — which contains nearly 6 million more pixels than the display used in the Vision Pro — is Qualcomm’s XR2+ Gen 2 processor, which the company first announced nearly two years ago now. Samsung’s employing six sensors (four front-facing, two bottom-facing) for hand tracking, along with a depth sensor mounted opposite your forehead and four eye-tracking cameras around the lenses. It also, of course, supports voice commands, with microphones apparently scattered around the device, and for gaming, will ship with two controllers in the box.

All this allegedly adds up to 545 grams, or around 50-100 grams lighter than Apple’s headset. That presumably discounts the battery, which is good for about two hours of general use, and slightly longer if you’re just watching movies. It’s not, however, long enough to survive Avatar: The Way of Water — plan accordingly.

Samsung’s XR headset is rumored to launch later this month. You might want to start counting your pennies.
