Samsung To Unveil Project Moohan XR Headset On October 21
The Korean tech giant’s upcoming Galaxy event will debut its Android-based mixed-reality headset, positioning it against Apple’s Vision Pro.
Samsung will unveil its long-rumored mixed-reality headset, codenamed Project Moohan, at a Galaxy event called “Worlds Wide Open” on October 21. The livestream marks Samsung’s return to immersive hardware and its most ambitious XR launch since the early Gear VR experiments.
Described by the company as “the first product built for the open and scalable Android XR platform,” Moohan is designed to blend virtual and augmented reality through Google’s ecosystem. The device is expected to target professional users and developers who want access to an open platform rather than a closed system like Apple’s.
Samsung says the headset “unlocks a whole new dimension of possibility,” signaling a renewed commitment to spatial computing after several years focused on smartphones and foldables. The company has worked with Qualcomm and Google on XR hardware standards, suggesting Project Moohan could become a reference point for Android-based devices.
Pricing is still unannounced, though leaks suggest a range between $1,800 and $3,000, cheaper than Apple’s Vision Pro but still a premium device. Other reports point to dual 4K displays, advanced tracking, and deeper integration with the Galaxy ecosystem.

Ahead of launch, Samsung is offering $100 credit to customers who reserve any Galaxy device before October 20, redeemable on eligible purchases after the event.
The push comes as global tech firms reposition around spatial computing and AI-driven interfaces. In the Middle East, where Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE’s metaverse strategy are driving investment in immersive technologies, Samsung’s re-entry could strengthen local developer ecosystems exploring XR for industry and education.
The “Worlds Wide Open” event will stream live on Samsung.com and YouTube at 10 p.m. ET (5 a.m. Gulf Standard Time) on October 21.

The Petshop Launches UAE’s First Pet Care Super App
Dubai retailer folds shopping, bookings and pet records into one mobile hub that features reminders, personalization, and more.
The Petshop has introduced a “Super App” that pulls together shopping, service bookings and pet records into a single platform, pitching it as the first integrated pet care app of its kind in the UAE.
The release turns the company’s stores, services and e-commerce operation into one connected system. Instead of juggling calls, WhatsApp chats and paper notes, customers manage everything from one account.
Each pet gets a dedicated profile. Age, diet, medical notes and behavioral traits sit in one place and update over time. For households with multiple animals, it’s a practical fix: fewer lost details, fewer repeat explanations at the counter.
That data feeds the app’s personalization. Reminders, recommendations and service options adjust to the specific pet rather than defaulting to broad prompts.
Grooming, boarding, relocation, aquatics and wellness services are booked through the same flow. Users can check availability, lock in appointments and see past visits without hopping between tools. All of the key services can be accessed and booked with a few taps.
The company says records and documents are stored with added safeguards, including verified digital paperwork for sensitive information, while usage signals trigger timely prompts without exposing private data.
“Over the past fifteen years, we’ve grown alongside the pet community in the UAE and seen how pet ownership has evolved,” said Amr Hazem Youssef, CEO of The Petshop. “For pet families, care now depends on continuity, accurate information, and services that match real life, not isolated transactions. This app brings those elements into one place with a structure that supports reliable care”.

He added: “Pets have individual needs that change over time, and those needs shape daily decisions around routines, health, and wellbeing. By keeping information organized and connecting services within one system, we can reduce friction for pet families and deliver greater consistency across the experience.”
Founded in 2011, The Petshop now operates 11 outlets across the United Arab Emirates, including megastores in Dubai Investment Park and Abu Dhabi’s Al Reem Island, plus an online catalogue of more than 12,000 products.
The Petshop Super App is available on both the App Store and Google Play.
