Samsung is developing multiple XR devices, including the Project Moohan headset in collaboration with Google, which may launch as Galaxy XR later this year. It features the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip, with a six-core CPU and Adreno 740 GPU, supporting low-latency full-color see-through and advanced VR features like foveated rendering. The headset includes 16GB of RAM and runs on Android 14, tailored for XR applications. Additionally, Project Haean and Project Jinju, possibly more compact smart glasses, are also in development using the same powerful chip. Further details may be revealed at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event.
Samsung is developing multiple XR devices, including the Project Moohan headset, created in partnership with Google, alongside two additional projects, Haean and Jinju, which are expected to take the form of smart glasses. These have recently appeared in the Geekbench database.
The most recent entry is the Project Moohan headset (SM-I610), anticipated to launch later this year, likely under the Galaxy XR branding. It will be powered by the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip, specifically engineered for XR applications.

The headset features six cores based on Cortex-A78C architecture—two cores clocked at 2.36GHz and four at 2.05GHz. It’s paired with an Adreno 740 GPU. Notably, the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 chipset from Nvidia (Tegra T239) also employs the A78C cores (eight cores running at up to 1.1GHz when undocked).
This chip enables low-latency full-color see-through functionality (12ms), supports low-latency Wi-Fi 7 connections, and includes VR-specific features such as foveated rendering and Space Warp. The latter technology extrapolates missing frames without waiting for the GPU (or connected PC) to generate new ones, effectively doubling frame rates to enhance performance and mitigate motion sickness by decreasing perceived latency.

In addition, Project Moohan is equipped with 16GB of RAM and runs Android 14, which is anticipated to be the new Android XR operating system, featuring a completely redesigned interface for managing virtual displays and hand-based controls.

Additionally, there’s the Samsung SM-I130, which is likely to be either Project Haean or Jinju. It also utilizes the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip, maintains the 16GB RAM, and runs Android (XR?) 14. This suggests that Haean/Jinju will match Moohan in power, which is surprising given their expected thinner, glasses-like design compared to the bulkier Moohan goggles.
Neither Samsung nor Google has announced a specific release date for Project Moohan, but further details may be revealed at the upcoming Unpacked event featuring the new Galaxy foldables.
