Here's when Samsung's XR headset is rumored to launch
Samsung's first XR headset, currently codenamed Project Moohan, has already been showcased by the company a bunch of times, but it's still not fully official. A new report out of Korea claims the company has now set a date for its unveiling: September 29.
Then, it will become available for purchase on October 13, in Korea first. After the domestic market launch, it will gradually start to make its way to other places.
This will be the first headset to use Android XR, which, as the name implies, is a version of Android made specifically for such headsets. Android XR itself was initially announced last year and is jointly developed by Google and Samsung, following their co-development success with the last few versions of Wear OS.
You won't be surprised to find out that Android XR will include Google's Gemini AI. The Samsung headset is using Qualcomm's XR+ Gen 2 chipset, which is apparently manufactured by Samsung using a 4nm process.
Before its full unveiling, the Samsung XR headset will be showcased once again at the company's Unpacked event next month, where it will announce the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7.

Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro is coming with Xring O1 chipset, Geekbench reveals
Xiaomi's self-developed chipset, the Xring O1, made its debut inside the Xiaomi 15S Pro smartphone, which launched last month along with the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra tablet. Now it looks like Xiaomi is developing another tablet, the Pad 7S Pro. This one will use the Xring O1 just like the Pad 7 Ultra, but given the branding should be smaller. The Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro, for reference, has an 11.2-inch screen vs. the Ultra's 14" display. The Pad 7S Pro has now been spotted in the Geekbench database, with the Xring O1 on board, 16GB of RAM, and Android 15. No other specs have been outed so far, but seeing how the Xiaomi 15S Pro is basically just a Xiaomi 15 Pro using the Xring O1, the Pad 7S Pro may be a Pad 7 Pro with the new chipset. If that's the case, then expect the tablet to feature an 11.2-inch 2136x3200 LCD screen with 144 Hz refresh rate and 800-nit peak brightness, a 50 MP rear camera with a 2 MP depth sensor next to it, a 32 MP front camera, and an 8,850 mAh battery.
