The release of Samsung’s first Android XR headset later this year has essentially been confirmed. Although the headset’s precise model was unknown, it was previously known that it would employ a Qualcomm CPU. Now that the XR headset has been listed in Geekbench’s database, the precise model number and name of its chip have been verified.

Google and Samsung collaborated to create Android XR, a new platform that supports AI-integrated experiences on AR glasses, smart glasses, and mixed reality headsets. It marks Google’s comeback to XR following setbacks like Google Glass and Daydream, and it was unveiled at Google I/O 2025. Google’s Gemini AI is at the heart of Android XR, allowing for contextual and multimodal interaction through speech, movement, and immediate time camera input.

Since then, a new leak has emerged, courtesy of well-known tipster Abhishek Yadav, who shared a screenshot of Geekbench on X that purportedly showed the wearable hardware specifications.

The headset might come with Android 14 pre-installed, a Snapdragon XR2 Plus Gen 2 CPU at its core, and 16GB of RAM.

Let’s explore what else this has to offer!

What can I expect from the Android XR headset?

It’s a little annoying that Samsung hasn’t given a specific release date yet, instead giving a six-month window and hinting at a late 2025 launch date.

Let’s discuss the expectations for the headset when it is finally unveiled and whether leaks confirm that Android XR fantasies while users wait.

The latest appearance of Samsung’s XR Headset was at Google I/O when the tech giant said that Samsung will introduce its Project Moohan “later on this year.”

Fueled by Snapdragon XR2+ Gen2

Qualcomm’s recently unveiled Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip marks a significant advancement in extended reality (XR) computing power and capabilities. This chipset, which was created especially for next-generation augmented and virtual devices, offers up to 4.3K quality per sight at 90 frames per second, guaranteeing incredibly sharp images and a fluid, engaging user experience.

Additionally, the chip can accommodate 12 or more cameras at once, allowing for complex hand, eye, and body monitoring for incredibly engaging and organic user interactions. In terms of connectivity, it incorporates cutting-edge capabilities like Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 7, which offer fast, low-latency wireless connections that are essential for smooth XR applications. With these enhancements, the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 becomes a potent engine for future XR headsets, such as Samsung’s eagerly awaited Project Moohan.

Last but not least, Samsung is expected to include Gemini’s most recent innovations into the headset, improving user intuition.
