Samsung to Launch Galaxy XR Headset in 2025: Aiming to Rival Apple's Vision Pro
September 12, 2025
Samsung is preparing to launch its highly anticipated Galaxy XR headset by the end of 2025, with a scheduled event on September 29th and a possible debut in South Korea on October 13th, featuring a price range of $1,800 to $2,900 USD and a global rollout.
The Galaxy XR, developed in partnership with Google and Qualcomm, will run on Android XR and feature high-resolution Micro OLED displays, hand-tracking controls, and a Snapdragon XR2 Plus Gen 2 processor, aiming to rival Apple's Vision Pro.
Leaked details reveal Samsung's focus on integrating spatial media capabilities into the Galaxy XR, including 3D photos and videos, similar to iPhone's spatial photo features for Apple Vision Pro.
The headset is designed to serve as a virtual workspace with access to apps like Google Maps, YouTube, and Gemini AI, supporting both existing Android applications and new XR-native apps such as 3D Google Photos.
The development of the 'Project Moohan' headset underscores Samsung's strategic push to enhance mixed reality experiences and compete in the XR market.
The new feature allowing 3D content capture was discovered through an update to Samsung's Camera Assistant app, initially hidden in the Galaxy S25 FE and revealed on the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
This feature's presence in the Camera Assistant app, rather than the native camera app, indicates Samsung is refining its spatial media capabilities before a broader rollout.
In the Camera Assistant app version 4.0.0.3, a dedicated 'Project Moohan' button in the viewfinder signals content creation tailored for the upcoming headset.
