Google's mysterious mixed reality headset resurfaces with a revealing technical leak. A high-performance chip could well power this future device. Enough to suggest new uses combining virtual and real.
For several months, tech giants have been banking on virtual and augmented reality to develop new products. These technologies, grouped under the name extended reality (or XR), allow either to completely immerse the user in a digital universe, or to add virtual elements to the real world. Google is preparing, with Samsung, a brand new headset in this category: a device still in internal development, often referred to under the code name Project Moohan. This secret project seems to be taking shape. A benchmark spotted online by leaker @yabhishekhd reveals precise technical data. The model tested corresponds to this XR headset, and it would be equipped with a Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip. This latest-generation processor is designed for extended reality devices and had already been tipped for this product. Its presence reinforces the idea that Google is aiming for a high-end product with advanced capabilities that will directly compete with Apple's Vision Pro. Google and Samsung are banking on the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip for their future XR headset. The Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip was designed for this type of immersive device. It allows for the display of color augmented reality images, supports low-latency Wi-Fi 7, and integrates stabilization features like Space Warp, which is useful for avoiding nausea. According to the data spotted, the headset would also have 16 GB of RAM and would run on Android 14 in a version specially adapted for extended reality. This type of configuration would allow for the display of reactive digital elements, superimposed on the real world or in a completely virtual environment. Journalists were able to try out a prototype at the Google I/O 2025 conference. One of the most striking features is the integration of Gemini artificial intelligence. The system is capable of analyzing the environment and displaying contextual information in real time. During a demonstration, the headset recognized a tree and directly presented data on the observed species. Google and Samsung are working on a versatile device that would combine virtual and augmented reality. It is expected to be released in the second half of 2025, alongside other similar Android headsets.
