Samsung's upcoming Galaxy XR headset has been leaked, revealing that it will compete with the Apple Vision Pro.
New renders and specs show the closest competitor to Apple's headset.
A detailed leak has revealed images and specifications for Samsung's "Galaxy XR," formerly known as "Project Moohan," which appears to be a direct competitor to Apple's Vision Pro. Samsung has previously hinted at the device at events such as the Galaxy S25 launch and Mobile World Congress. The new information provides a clearer understanding of Samsung's marketing approach and the anticipated final product.
The design includes dual 4K micro-OLED displays, a modifiable head strap, and a separate battery pack to reduce facial weight. Samsung seems to be targeting the Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro market segments. The leaked "One UI XR" interface, based on Google's Android XR, looks simple.
The Galaxy XR aims to compete in the high-end XR market, specifically against the Apple Vision Pro. The micro-OLED panel has nearly 6 million more pixels than the Vision Pro. It runs on Qualcomm’s XR2+ Gen 2 processor. While this chip is not the newest, it should still offer sufficient performance.
Samsung's headset is expected to weigh 545 grams, less than Apple’s headset. The battery life is estimated to be approximately two hours.
The leak suggests a solid device that addresses the Vision Pro's weight issue by using a separate battery pack and a lighter headset. However, the older processor raises some questions about performance. If Samsung can optimize the software and offer a competitive price, the Galaxy XR could become a popular alternative to the Vision Pro.
