What’s on the Horizon
The upcoming Samsung Event will diverge from its usual smartphone-centric focus and instead delve into the realm of “extended reality”.
Samsung is teasing “A New Era of Multimodal AI”, introducing a new line of AI-native wearable devices.
This event will shed light on the collaborative Android XR project involving Samsung, Google, and Qualcomm.

The AR headset, known as Project Moohan, is Samsung’s contribution to Google’s Android XR mixed reality platform, powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip.
Although showcased at various tech events, the device remains under wraps, hinting at a premium price range of ÂŁ1,324 to ÂŁ2,100.
What to Keep Off Your Radar
Don’t anticipate major Galaxy device releases at this event. The absence of Unpacked branding and timing suggest otherwise.
The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S26 is likely reserved for January, while foldable phone releases are already in the past. The recent Galaxy Tab S11 debut also rules out tablet announcements.
There might be a sneak peek at the Samsung Galaxy Tri-Fold, but don’t hold your breath.
This event is all about exploring new frontiers in AR/mixed reality with a heavy emphasis on AI.
This article delves into Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Event with a focus on AR/mixed reality technology. The event promises to unveil Project Moohan and the first Android XR device, setting the stage for a new era of AI-native wearable devices. Stay tuned for updates on this groundbreaking event!
