New Samsung XR Headset Could Use Sony 4K Micro OLEDs
March 7, 2025
Samsung shook things up at Mobile World Congress 2025 with a display of its Project Moohan XR headset, which CNBC confirms will be released this year. While the MWC display was just a teaser, and Samsung remained tight-lipped about its specs, the mirrored goggles generated a lot of coverage, including speculation that Samsung may deploy Sony’s 4K Micro OLEDs in the new device, increasing Mohan’s resolution over the Apple Vision Pro by nearly 2 million pixels per eye and offering superior color, too. Samsung worked with Qualcomm and Google to develop Moohan, which will use the new Android XR operating system.
Moohan “reportedly measures 1.3 inches with a 3,552×3,840 resolution, or about 3,800 PPI, similar to Sony’s productivity headset,” reports Android Central, adding that “Apple and Meta are also reportedly working on high-resolution Micro OLED displays for future headsets.”
CNBC notes that while few details have been shared about the as yet unnamed device, the MWC display revealed “four cameras are visible in the front lens of the physical headset and there appears to be touch controls on the side.”
Samsung’s headset resolution will be similar to that of the Sony SRH-S1, with “1,000-nit brightness at 20 percent power, 96 percent DCI-P3 color gamut, and 90 fps,” which would see it “more than rivaling the gorgeous Apple Vision Pro display,” according to Android Central.
Pixel density of 3,800 PPI “would trump the 3,391ppi Sony displays utilized by Apple,” Tom’s Guide concurs.
Samsung’s MWC 2025 newsroom post include photos of Moohan and says “the device will leverage multimodal AI technology to enable more natural and conversation-like interactions.”
In a separate MWC announcement, Samsung emphasized its vision for “delivering a true AI companion across the Galaxy ecosystem.”
As Apple did with its Vision Pro, Samsung will initially make its XR headset available in limited release, “shipping around 100,000 Moohan headsets” and gradually amping up, with plans to add a lower-priced model with “two 2.1-inch screens with a pixel density of 1,700 ppi,” Tom’s says.
