Sure, let’s muddle through this.

So, I was sipping my coffee the other day, probably procrastinating if we’re being honest, and this random thought popped into my head—what’s going on with Samsung’s new gadget headpiece thingy? Turns out, it’s still happening. Maybe.
Apparently, in some earnings phone call (don’t ask me who listens to those, definitely not me), Samsung confirmed their new XR thing, code name ‘Project Moohan’—cool name, right?—is coming out at some point this year. They didn’t roll it out at that Unpacked event, which was kinda weird. I mean, why hold back? Suspense, maybe?
Anyway, Samsung’s Daniel Araujo chimed in that they’re rolling out not just this headset but also a ‘TriFold’ smartphone. Sounds like something from the Jetsons, if you ask me. But I guess we’ll have to wait and see—tick-tock, Samsung.
Oh, by the way, I stumbled upon an image of Project Moohan. Honestly, it just looked like—well, a headset. Nothing mind-blowing there.
Now, here’s the juicy bit… or something like that. Google I/O happens, and even though they had some demo action, it wasn’t a star player. Lost chance to woo developers? Maybe. Or maybe it’s the suspense strategy again. Not sure.
Samsung’s usual big July show, the Unpacked event? Yeah, Project Moohan didn’t really get its spotlight there either. The TriFold phone was also a no-show, so there’s that. It’s like they’ve got the goods stashed away for a surprise party later on. Or they’re winging it; who knows?
Specs? You probably want those. Android XR, running on Snapdragon XR2 blah blah Gen 2. Micro-OLED from Sony—with unknown resolution, because mystery is Samsung’s middle name apparently. Plus, it’s supposed to come with pancake lenses that might not make you hungry, but they’re real slim. And some fancy-schmancy features like automatic eye-whatever adjustments and hand-tracking, which I guess is cool.
Remember December last year? No? Me neither. But there was this hands-on session with Project Moohan where folks (not me, but trust them) checked out comfort, clarity, and basically compared Android XR to Horizon OS mashed with VisionOS. Sounded kinda geeky.
There it is—Samsung’s keeping us on our toes, aren’t they? Excitement, right? Or maybe just low-key anxiety. Either way, I’m here for the spectacle.
