Samsung has officially scheduled its next major product launch, a fall Galaxy event dubbed “Worlds Wide Open,” where it will finally unveil its long-awaited Android XR headset. The livestreamed event is set for Tuesday, October 21, at 10 PM ET and will be available to watch on Samsung’s website and YouTube channel.
The headset, known internally as “Project Moohan,” is expected to be officially named the Samsung Galaxy XR. Its debut is a significant moment for the industry, as it will be the first commercial device to run on the new Android XR platform, Google’s operating system designed specifically for augmented and virtual reality.
The timing of the event is notable, coming just a week after a significant leak revealed several key details about the headset. While Samsung may have already planned a fall reveal, the leak likely prompted the company to make the official announcement sooner rather than later.
With the device expected to launch sometime this year, tech enthusiasts can look forward to learning the official release date and, most importantly, the price during the “Worlds Wide Open” event.
