Samsung’s long-rumored Project Moohan looks like it’s finally about to drop. The company’s answer to Apple’s Vision Pro VR headset is reportedly set for an October reveal — complete with a hefty price tag.

According to Upload VR, preorders will open on Sept. 29, with a staggered global launch: Oct. 13 in Korea, followed by Oct. 21 worldwide. Moohan was first announced more than two years ago, with its design revealed late last year — but detailed specs are still scarce. What we do know, thanks to leaks, is that the headset will run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2, a beefed-up version of the chip powering the Meta Quest 3 and 3S.

The price is looking quite painful, however. Leaks point to a range between $1,799 and $2,999, which is far higher than the Quest 3 ($499) but still under Apple’s $3,499 Vision Pro and Sony’s enterprise-focused $4K+ headsets.

At least you’re getting serious display tech for the money: a 1.3-inch Micro-OLED panel boasting 3552×3840 resolution, high brightness, and a wide color gamut. That works out to 13.64 million pixels per eye — nearly two million more than the Vision Pro and leagues ahead of the Quest 3’s 4.56 million.
