Samsung officially debuted its upcoming XR headset in December 2024, calling it Project Moohan. The processor of this device is provided by Qualcomm, and the XR headset will run AndroidXR, an operating system designed in collaboration with Google. A hands-on video revealed some interesting details about the Samsung XR headset, which the company also showed off for the second time at the recent MWC2025.
Now, a new report from TheElec states that the display of the Samsung XR headset will be clearer than the Apple VisionPro headset. The company is reportedly planning to use an OLED on silicon (OLEDoS) display panel in its first XR headset, which will measure 1.3 inches. The display will allegedly have a pixel density of 3,800 pixels per inch (PPI) and will be provided by Sony.
Industry insiders revealed that Samsung's suppliers will begin mass production of Project Mohan components next month, and the final product is expected to be launched in the second half of this year. But in terms of production, Samsung has adopted a cautious attitude and plans to ship 100,000 units per year.
What’s important about the Samsung XR headset display is that it will have a higher pixel density compared to Apple’s Vision Pro. The resolution data of VisionPro's 1.42-inch display is 3391PPI. Thanks to more pixels, content on Samsung XR will be less grainy, with smooth gradients and transitions, clearer text, and minimal pixelation. After Apple launched Vision Pro in mid-2023, it launched this product in early 2024. Interestingly, Sony supplies the display for the Vision Pro.
Samsung originally planned to launch the XR headset in 2023. However, after Apple’s Vision Pro was launched, Samsung decided to abandon the XR headset. The company wants better hardware and specs before entering the market.
Meanwhile, Apple is having trouble selling the Vision Pro due to its high price, which is why the company is speculated to be developing a more affordable XR headset. Apple has asked Samsung to develop a micro-OLED display with a screen size of 2 inches and a pixel density of 1700PPI on a glass substrate.
