Samsung, Google and Qualcomm all have come together to launch Android’s response to Apple’s Vision Pro. ‘Project Muhan’ is the code name given to Samsung’s extended reality (XR) headset. Moohan means infinity in Korean, and it reflects Samsung’s ambition to provide infinite immersive experience within XR space. With this offer, Samsung intends to join the same place as Apple’s Vision Pro and Meta’s Quest 3. While there are many VR headsets, they are not enough in the same league as Vision Pro or Quest 3. The first Android XR headset will be to launch the Samsung Mohan headset market.
The design of the headset holds a striking equality for the Apple Vision Pro – and to be fair, if you are going to take inspiration, is a strong place to start the design of Apple. However, there are some major differences. For example, unlike the vision Pro, the muhon does not extend the user’s eyes externally. Its battery cable is compatible with any external power bank, which provides more flexibility. While looking at the eye for vision pro control, it depends more dependent – with the hand, touch and peripheral input – the muhon bends into the voice control as its primary interface, thanks to its deep integration with Gemini. Nevertheless, it retains support for the eyes, hands and peripheners like Apple’s approach. Moohan has also introduced a touchpad on the right strap for additional input. Its design prefer balanced weight distribution, with an adjustment knob at the back to customize the fit. The top and bottom are both light seals, so that users can be more connected to their physical environment when desired.
The main components include a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon XR 2+ gene 2 processor, a chip is adapted to extended reality exclusively for extended reality that claims 20% more CPU and 15% high GPU frequency than its predecessor, which enables smooth performance and rich graphics. Views are distributed through high-resolution 4K micro-oleled panels, which are rumored by Sony.
Working with Google to expand the Qualcomm platform and therefore we can expect many more OEM partners like Links, Sony and Xarel to develop Android XR based equipment. This device is first built on the Android XR platform, which is its center with AI for a particular OS extended by a particular OS to AI. This means that compatibility with Google Playstore is given one. In addition, there are special spatial apps that can be used on sewn mohans for mixed reality experience.
Both Samsung and Google are not new to XR/VR space. Samsung’s Early Gear VR Pahal, launched in 2014, played an important role in bringing mobile VRs in the hands of consumers, providing valuable insight into both hardware and content. At the same time, Google used VR via cardboard and deadream, eventually focusing on smartphone-based AR with Arcor and before phasing down the deadream. These initiatives have paved the route to the more ambitious project Moohan and combine the developed hardware of Samsung with Google’s Android XR platform and Gemini AI, which aims to provide aimed to really integrate and immersed mixed reality experience.
AI edge
Although the form factor and hardware may look the same, but what is the possibility of separating this device, it is Gemini integration. Gemini can now see and listen to the real world through cameras and mixes in the headset. This enables the user to ask relevant questions what the user is looking or listening to in the real world. Gemini can also interact with the user. It remains to be seen what kind of memory will be endowed with Gemini. Google claims that Gemini can understand your intentions, can help you plan, research subjects and guide through various tasks. Gemini can be accessed through the headset with a dedicated button or a hand gesture at any point that will enable a multimodal conjunctival experience through the headset.
Imagine a landscape where you have your AI-based personal fitness trainer on your mouth, gaming with your friends around the world, learn to drive in a safe setting. This form factor is a comfortable use for use within a comfortable home or office environment. There will be shine on the muhon, given the level of immersion and capabilities in the applications of productivity and entertainment. For portable applications, AR/AI glasses would be more suitable as we have seen on the meta rabon.
After some delay, the release of the product has been pushed by the end of 2025 and will be targeted in the developers building for the first Android XR platform. While the Apple Vision Pro costs $ 3499, and the meta quest starts at 3 $ 499, it will be interesting to see what price Samsung is priced, as it has been marketed as a premium product with AI features. It should be able to reach the device more than the cost of cost and resulting low price point somewhere between the two.
