Project Moohan specs just leaked — what we've learned about Samsung's Android XR headset
Project Moohan, the Android XR-based headset coming from Samsung, has been drip-fed to us since December of last year with the headset making its most recent appearance during Google I/O 2025 in mid-May.
But for all of the headset's public appearances, Samsung hasn't shared many details about Moohan. A new leak popped up recently from leaker Abhishek Yadav on X (via Android Central) that purports to reveal some hardware specs.
Yadav posted a screenshot of a Geekbench test for a device labeled "SM-I610," the alleged model number of the headset,
Based on that screenshot, Moohan appears to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Plus Gen 2 processor, a Snapdragon chip built for XR. The chipset includes an Adreno 740 GPU that is optimized for gaming and 3D environments with high refresh rates.
The XR2 features six cores, which are clocked at 2.36GHz speeds. It's a similar setup found some of the best Android phones. The headset posted single and multi-core scores of 990 and 2,453 on Geekbench, which measures CPU performance.
From there it looks like the device was running Android 14, however Google is making Android XR an Android-based OS meant specifically for headsets and smart glasses like the forthcoming Xreal Project Aura. So, it's not clear if this is an older build or if XR is built on top of Android 14 and not Android 15 or the upcoming Android 16.
The Geekbench listing also reveals that the tested device featured 16GB of RAM.

Samsung declined to share any specs during Google I/O last month, my colleague Philip Michaels got some heads-on time with Project Moohan.
He said he liked wearing the headset: "It didn't feel particularly heavy during my demo — I certainly wasn't looking forward to removing it, as I am most of the time when trying on headsets."
We still have questions about the specs and pricing for the headset, but wearing and using Samsung's headset sounds like it will be a well-designed experience.
As Michaels noted, "I was struck by how well the Google apps running on Android XR had been optimized for the virtual space. It's that experience that's ultimately going to determine just how people react to Samsung's upcoming headset.
Samsung has announced that the Android XR headset should arrive before the end of 2025, but a specific date has not been revealed.

傳蘋果將捨棄Google合作 將收購AI搜尋黑馬Perplexity
科技中心／李宜樺報導 ▼▲蘋果傳新併購消息！恐捨棄Google，轉密會AI搜尋新星Perplexity。（圖／翻攝自YT@Apple） AI戰升溫，科技巨頭火力全開！繼Meta投資Scale AI後，如今傳出蘋果也悄悄布局，要收購AI搜尋新貴「Perplexity AI」，甚至傳出考慮放棄Google作為預設搜尋引擎。這場看似平靜的搜尋戰場，已悄然掀起風暴！ 根據《彭博》知名科技記者Mark Gurman爆料，蘋果併購部門主管Adrian Perica已在內部討論是否收購Perplexity，雖仍處於早期階段，但若交易成真，將是蘋果史上最大規模併購案──該公司估值高達140億美元，遠超2014年30億美元收購Beats的紀錄。 除了併購，蘋果也考慮另一合作模式，將Perplexity整合至Safari與Siri，作為替代Google搜尋的AI解決方案。畢竟蘋果與Google的搜尋合作協議，正面臨美國反壟斷調查威脅，恐有被迫拆夥的可能。 Perplexity成立僅兩年，卻以AI驅動搜尋技術嶄露頭角，透過自動總結、引文標示等功能挑戰Google霸主地位，甚至已與三星展開深度合作，成為蘋果收購計畫的潛在障礙。 Perplexity對收購傳聞低調回應，稱「目前沒有相關消息」，但該公司近期與多家科技巨頭接觸頻繁，包括Meta也曾試圖收購、並挖角其CEO Aravind Srinivas，顯示AI搜尋市場人才爭奪戰已進入白熱化。 當AI搜尋成為下一代搜尋引擎的競爭主戰場，蘋果此舉無疑是對Google發出重大威脅。科技巨頭的版圖重組已開始，誰能掌握搜尋流量與AI技術，誰就能主宰未來。 更多三立新聞網報導2025報稅必知／報稅倒數9天 你真的報完了嗎？「這一步」沒做＝白報！美軍參戰 介入以伊戰爭！衝突升級 冷靜異常的黃金現補漲行情？全球熱錢瘋搶亞洲 高盛曝對沖基金5年最大買盤新光金、新壽5月再虧破百億 靠準備金撐盤仍難止血？
