Samsung is expected to officially launch the Galaxy XR virtual reality headset, part of the Moohan Project, at the end of October in its home country of Korea.

The device will also use Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip, an upgraded version compared to the chip used in Meta Quest 3 and 3S, promising powerful performance for AR/VR applications.
There is still no confirmation of a global launch in October, but reports say the Galaxy XR will be released first in Korea and Asian markets, then to Western countries.
Samsung is also developing AI-powered smart glasses, showing its export orientation to XR and AR technology.
Meanwhile, Apple seems to have suspended Vision Pro to focus on developing Apple Glasses, while Meta has launched a new AR glasses, including Ray- Ban Display with integrated AR screens. Google and Samsung are said to be collaborating on the Haean AR project, expected to launch in early 2026.
