Samsung to Reveal Galaxy XR — First Android XR Commercial Headset — at “Worlds Wide Open” (Oct 21)

Samsung has announced a livestreamed event called “Worlds Wide Open” where it will officially unveil its long-rumored Android XR headset. The event will stream on Tuesday, October 21 at 10PM ET and can be watched on Samsung’s site or its YouTube channel.

The headset, internally known as Project Moohan and reportedly branded as the Samsung Galaxy XR, is expected to be the first commercial product to run on the Android XR platform. Recent leaks disclosed several product details, increasing the likelihood that Samsung will reveal the headset’s official name, release date, and pricing at the event.

Key points:

• Event: “Worlds Wide Open” livestream — Oct 21, 10PM ET.
• Product: Likely called Samsung Galaxy XR (internal codename: Project Moohan).
• Platform: Expected to be the first commercial device using Android XR for AR experiences.
• What to watch for: official name confirmation, release date, pricing, and specs.

While Samsung had previously signaled plans to release an AR headset this year, last week’s leaks may have accelerated or shaped the company’s announcement timeline. Android XR is Google’s platform for augmented and extended reality, and Samsung’s adoption could accelerate developer support and content for AR on Android.
