Unveiled leak potentially exposing key features of Samsung's Android XR Headset
Samsung's much-anticipated XR headset, codenamed Project Moohan, is set to make waves in the extended reality (XR) market. The device, which is expected to launch later this year, has been confirmed to run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 processor, powered by the Android XR operating system developed by Google [1][3].
The XR headset's display is a standout feature, boasting a resolution of 3,552 × 3,840 and a 96% DCI-P3 color gamut [1]. It utilises Sony's 4K micro-OLED displays, offering a brightness of 1,000-nit at 20% power [1][3]. The display also supports an impressive 90 FPS, ensuring smooth and immersive visuals for gaming and complex 3D environments [1][3].
The Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chipset, designed exclusively for XR experiences, is expected to be paired with an Adreno GPU optimised for gaming and complex 3D environments [1][3]. This powerful combination should provide a seamless and high-performance XR experience.
While details about the XR headset's RAM capacity have not been officially disclosed, comparable XR devices often feature between 8GB and 12GB of RAM [3]. However, it's been speculated that the XR headset might come with 16GB of RAM [4].
The XR headset supports multiple input methods, including hand gestures and wireless peripherals like Bluetooth keyboards and mice [3]. It also features hand- and eye-tracking technology, enhancing the overall user experience [1][3].
In a recent test by Michael Hicks, Senior Editor at AC, the XR headset was found to be well-balanced and secure. While some apps appeared blurry, 4K nature videos on YouTube looked immersive on the device [2]. The XR headset is expected to ship with Android 14 pre-installed [5].
As Samsung integrates the latest smarts of Google's Gemini suite within the XR headset, it aims to offer a device that is not only technologically advanced but also accessible to a wider audience, with a price point significantly lower than that of Apple’s Vision Pro [1][3].
