Samsung’s long-awaited Android XR headset, known internally as Project Moohan or Project Infinite, now has a new rumoured launch date. While earlier reports suggested a September 29 unveiling, fresh information from Korea indicates that the debut has been pushed back to October 21. Here’s more on this in detail.

Samsung XR Headset Launch Timeline

According to a recent ETNews report, Samsung plans to announce the device on October 21 during an online-only event, unlike the company’s usual Galaxy Unpacked showcases that cater to both physical and virtual audiences.

This updated timeline follows earlier leaks hinting at an October 13 launch, meaning the release has only been delayed slightly. Since this is a first-generation product rather than a new Galaxy smartphone, Samsung has more flexibility. The company reportedly aims to sell around 100,000 units by the end of 2025.

Samsung’s upcoming device will be the first Android XR headset to hit the market, well ahead of XReal’s XR headset, which is expected in early 2026. Reports suggest the headset will cost between $1,800 and $2,800 USD, undercutting Apple’s Vision Pro.

Following its October 21 launch, Samsung’s Android XR headset is expected to go on sale immediately, with pre-orders likely opening the same day.

If the report holds true, Samsung will officially kick off the Android XR era with its first-generation headset, setting the stage for how Google’s XR platform will shape the future of extended reality devices.

How well Android XR will perform in day-to-day usage remains to be seen, but Samsung is clearly positioning the device as a more accessible option in the premium XR space.

Another interesting detail is that Samsung is reportedly working with domestic eyewear companies to offer optional corrective lenses for the headset. This suggests the device may not leave extra room for traditional glasses but will give users customised lens options instead.
