Samsung just tipped to show off Project Moohan headset during Galaxy Unpacked in July
In a few short weeks, Samsung's annual summer Galaxy Unpacked event, where we expect to see the latest foldables in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. We should additionally see the new Galaxy Watch 8 smartwatches.
According to a new rumor, we might also get another glimpse of Project Moohan, the company's forthcoming Android XR headset. Tipster PandaFlashPro posted on X that Samsung would have Project Moohan at "July Unpacked 2025."
Almost immediately, another regular leaker, Max Jambor, rejected that report.
Today (June 13), they returned to confirm the earlier report.
"My source just confirmed it, Samsung is going to show it off at their Unpacked event!" PandaFlash posted. "They won't be revealing all the details, and later this year available in South Korea, than slowly other countries."
They added that Samsung will have a dedicated Unpacked event, but no date for that one.
Samsung has been fairly light on specs for the headset despite showing it off several times between the January Unpacked reveal, MWC 2025 and Google I/O in May.

We got an in-person glimpse of the headset in a Qualcomm booth during AWE 2025 this week. However, beyond Qualcomm's new AR+1 Gen 1 chip, which is slated for the best smart glasses, it could also feature in headsets in conjunction with the XR2+ processor. Otherwise, no new details were shared specifically about Moohan.
Coinciding with PandaFlash's rumor, during an earnings call earlier this year, Samsung confirmed that XR devices would be released in the second half of 2025.
Beyond that, of course, it will be powered by Android XR, and a recent leaked benchmark revealed that it will run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Plus Gen 2 processor, which is built specifically for XR devices. It could have up to 16 GB of RAM.
For panels, Moohan might utilize a pair of Sony 1.3-inch 4K OLED on Silicon panels. These screens could offer a pixel density of 3,800 ppi, or more than the 3,391 ppi Sony displays in the Apple Vision Pro.
We're still waiting on pricing and more in-depth specs for the headset. Hopefully, Samsung will finally share a bit more in July.

This one iPadOS 26 feature has me excited for the iPhone Fold
Samsung is set to launch the seventh generation of its Galaxy Z Fold book-style folding phone this Summer, but its biggest rival is yet to show its folding phone hand. Apple has long been expected to unveil an iPhone Fold, and the latest rumors suggest that it will launch next year. I've used almost every folding phone released globally, with some exceptions for extremely obscure ones. While I've always been curious what an iPhone Fold would look like, I was fairly certain that Apple shouldn't build it, as I wasn't sure they could deliver on one necessary feature. Recommended Videos This past week, Apple unveiled the next update to its platforms during its WWDC 2025 keynote. Alongside a new naming convention that unites all platform names, including iOS 26, watchOS26, and macOS 26 Tahoe, there's a new iPadOS 26 that transforms the iPad. It's the biggest update to the iPad in years, and it brings a long-awaited feature that not only transforms the iPad but has me excited for Apple's rumored iPhone Fold. What makes a good folding phone? I've used the majority of the best folding phones released worldwide, including many that were only available in China. The best book-style folding phones — i.e., the ones that aim to compete with the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 — all provide one necessary feature in some form: multitasking. Samsung has been perfecting multitasking on its phones for over a decade, and Android has natively supported multiwindow since Android 7 in 2016. Multitasking is key to the folding phone experience as it ensures you can take full advantage of the additional screen real estate offered by the larger internal display. Unlike the best flip phones, which make a regular-sized smartphone smaller, these folding phones allow you to go from a regular smartphone to a tablet-sized display, so you need to be able to run multiple apps at once. Google added optimizations and support to take advantage of the big displays on folding phones in Android 12L two years ago. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 can run three apps side by side and launch more in pop-up chat windows. The Oppo Find N5 and OnePlus Open feature the innovative Open Canvas multitasking system that visualizes your apps in windows larger than the physical screen. Each of these phones has a way to ensure that the big display is something you can truly take advantage of, and until iPadOS 26, it was a feature that Apple was sorely lacking. How iPadOS 26 solves the multitasking problem No, iOS 26 does not add multitasking, but iPadOS 26 finally showcases a clear vision for big screens, and in doing so, Apple has also shown it's ready to build a folding phone that can compete with the best. For many years, the iPad has offered basic split-screen multitasking features, but iPadOS 26 adds a new windowing engine designed to replicate a desktop computer experience. Instead of simple features, we have resizable windows that can be set to different presets or resized freely using the handles in the bottom corner. The experience will be instantly familiar to anyone who's used a desktop computer, and it's far more intuitive than any other tablet, aside from the best Windows tablets. Of course, the iPhone Fold is not an iPad, but this has already transformed how productive I am on the iPad Pro 11. It has the potential to do the same for the iPhone Fold and how useful — and therefore, how desirable and profitable — it is to end customers. What could this mean for an iPhone Fold? There's a fairly obvious solution for the eventual iPhone Fold: Apple brings the same feature from iPadOS to iOS 27 next year, just in time for the iPhone Fold. However, I think there's a way for Apple to transform the folding phone experience at the same time. One of the biggest challenges with most folding phones is that, while they offer excellent multitasking features, many Android apps are not optimized, and it's still like using a large phone, versus a small tablet. Apple could solve this by running iOS on the front screen and a modified version of iPadOS on the internal screen. Not only would it be unique in the world of folding phones, it would solve the biggest issues and instantly make the iPhone Fold a new benchmark for others to match. Whether the company does this or not, the multitasking features in iPadOS 26 have me excited to see what Apple can do on the iPhone Fold. The company's first entrant into folding phones will almost certainly change the market, and its approach to iPadOS 26 has me convinced that it can build an experience that's second to none.

These are the niche features I wish Samsung Good Lock also let me customize
Ryan Haines / Android Authority I think it's safe to say that Samsung's Good Lock is the most powerful customization toolkit in the Android ecosystem for those who want even more control over their One UI devices. Good Lock modules unlock the lock screen, tweak themes, and extend Routines far beyond their initial capabilities. It's grown so much since its early days that I couldn't imagine using a Samsung phone without it. However, there are still several areas where Good Lock falls short. Existing modules leave these elements untouched and unchangeable, but this shouldn't be the case. Here are five customization blind spots I'd like Samsung to address with Good Lock or through One UI directly in the future. What do you want Good Lock to include in the future? 0 votes More control over fonts. NaN % Additional UI settings for notifications. NaN % More haptic feedback tweaks and options. NaN % Now Bar customizations. NaN % Device performance controls. NaN % Something else entirely (mention in comments). NaN % Custom font faces and sizes Joe Maring / Android Authority When it comes to elements you can tweak on One UI, very few items are out of reach. Through QuickStar, I can choose the colors I want for my Quick Settings, like lime green text on an OLED black background. HomeUp lets me endlessly modify my lock screen appearance and build productive home screens, and Keys Cafe can turn my keyboard into a Christmas tree (if I used Samsung's keyboard, that is). But one aspect that remains completely untouchable is system fonts. Sure, apps use their specific fonts, and Samsung offers around a dozen typefaces for selection and download, but customization ends there. I can't install or use fonts not permitted by Samsung, including fonts that should work on an Android system. No Good Lock modules offer adjustments for fonts across the system, either. I want the option to tweak individual faces and font sizes, whether in the Settings category headlines or notifications. More UI tweaks for notifications Joe Maring / Android Authority Speaking of notifications, HomeUp makes light work of turning One UI's home screen into a complete carnival, but it doesn't give me enough control over how notifications appear on my device. On One UI 7, I can adjust the background and foreground colors for notifications and Quick Settings shades, but these changes are superficial. I want the option to adjust notification box sizes, corner radii, app icons, and reposition the notification time. As One UI 7 stands, it uses too much blank space per notification pill — finer adjustments would let me fit more into this space. Additionally, HomeUp forces me to make blanket font color changes, but I want more specific editing abilities for my notification details. Offering app-specific color notification boxes or icons from custom icon packs would be a welcome option. Now Bar customizations Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority The Now Bar is one of my favorite One UI 7 features but has no customization options. Granted, it's a new feature that hasn't fully matured yet, but I can already envision customization options for it in future Good Lock modules. It would be useful to be able to adjust the Now Bar's transparency, placement, text color, and background saturation, making the information more legible and accessible. These options would benefit those who use the feature to monitor media. This would be especially useful for me since I use Now Bar to view currently playing tracks on my lock screen while working. Being able to force the larger album art view or choose which song stats to view on the Now Bar would let me keep my phone locked while enhancing my enjoyment of the content. Broader device performance controls Robert Triggs / Android Authority Finally, I want to touch on Good Lock's potential for phone performance parameters. While Good Guardians allowed more control over device hardware, including adjusting the CPU throttling temperature threshold, I feel more control could be had here. In this vein, I'd welcome a Good Lock module to control various hardware limits. Yes, I know the potential liability of such a module, but a simple disclaimer splash screen could easily solve this. What controls do I seek? For one, without enabling any battery restrictions, I'd like to limit my Galaxy S24 FE's maximum clock speed, whether a nominal value or a performance percentage (similar to how Windows handles this). Additionally, options to use this in conjunction with frame rate options, allowing me to select the lowest possible CPU performance value to make 120Hz possible, would improve battery life without sacrificing visual fidelity. The third-party app Galaxy Max Hz could accomplish this, but it no longer works on my device. Good Lock and its myriad modules are handy, but still have plenty of unfulfilled potential. From aesthetic tweaks to hardware adjustments, Samsung gives users more control, which would only enhance the Galaxy smartphone experience. The question is: would Samsung be willing and able to add these modules in the future? What are your thoughts on the current abilities of Good Lock modules? Do they go far enough, or would you value more power? Let us know in the comments below.

No, a $67 soundbar isn't going to perform like Sonos — but this one actually surprised me
Right off the bat, let's make one thing very clear. Many of the best soundbars cost an arm and a leg, and for good reason. To get expansive, room-filling sound powerful enough to rival your local IMAX at home, it's gonna cost you. For example, the Sonos Arc Ultra features a massive 9.1.4 channel setup with virtual Dolby Atmos surround, which is probably as close as you can get to home theater (without breaching prosumer territory). However — and that's a big however — the Sonos Arc Ultra is also one thousand big ones. Yep — $999 for a soundbar. Heck, even the semi-basic Bose Smart Soundbar I personally own is $499. Now more than ever, that just feels difficult to reach for most people. So when I found the Majority Naga 60 soundbar for $67 (not a typo, yes, just sixty-seven), I knew I had to test it out. Obviously a $67 soundbar is never going to be a Sonos or Bose rival, but I was actually pleasantly surprised. And here's why. Although it doesn't have mind-blowing sound, for $67, can you really complain? With a little EQ fiddling, the Naga 60 soundbar actually really impressed me. Its imitation-Dolby Atmos was surprisingly room-filling, and there's even a subwoofer out for building a home theater. I'll preface this by saying obviously this soundbar doesn't have Dolby Atmos. It's $67. It's a 2.1 channel soundbar. The Majority Naga 60 has no true immersive 360° audio whatsoever — neither do many of the best cheap soundbars. So why did it almost sound like it does? When I was watching 'Stranger Things' (as one does when Stranger Things's fifth and final season is due later this year), I truly felt like I was in the scene. During sections with walkie-talkies, the dialogue sounded as if it was coming from all around me. Don't get me wrong, the Naga 60 isn't perfect. It struggles with female voices and super low bass (but more on the subwoofer out in a second). However, it performs considerably better than TV speakers, so it's most definitely a worthy upgrade from a TV. If you've got a Samsung TV, though, may I point you in the direction of the Samsung HW-B650? It has a 3.1 channel setup and although it's $249, it is an utterly mesmerizing soundbar + subwoofer combo. Although this is a very cheap soundbar, it has a premium feature that some other big-name brands lack: a subwoofer out. This means you can get a third-party subwoofer (wired only) and connect it up to the Naga 60 for a bassier setup. Of course, the soundbar doesn't have extra outputs for surround speakers, so the setup would remain a 2.1 channel, but it's a very respectable start to a home theater setup. Interestingly, the $99 Sony HT-S100F soundbar doesn't have a subwoofer out, nor does the $99 Majority Elias. So if you're a TV/AV newbie and you want to dip your toe in the proverbial water, then I think the Naga 60 is a pretty decent starter soundbar. On top of having a subwoofer out, the Naga 60 is a Bluetooth soundbar. I was able to link up to my phone and Spotify app to play music, so it doubles up as a speaker in a pinch. However, if you've got a little extra $$$ to spare, then I recommend the Polk Signa S4 as the number one entry-level home theater setup. It has 3.1.2 channel setup with a wireless subwoofer, and while its MRSP is considerably higher than the super-budget Naga 60, it's utterly phenomenal. Given the extremely low price, obviously some corners have been cut — some sacrifices have been made. In the Majority Naga 60's case, these sacrifices are threefold: 1) it's got an annoying, fiddly setup, 2) its semi-ugly bulky design, and 3) its sound comes ever-so-close to Tinny City. Tinny City isn't a real place — it's just something I made up to describe cheap low-quality audio gear. You know, when poor drivers or speakers transform previously-vibrant bass and mids into flat, lifeless sound and make your eardrums rattle, like someone's shaking a tin can around inside your brain? That. Thankfully, avoiding tinniness is relatively easy on the Naga 60 — just put the soundbar on 'movie' mode and activate '3D sound'. Don't touch these settings, ever. I can assure you that any other sound mode will make you think I'm crazy for even suggesting this soundbar is good. Another issue is the frustrating setup. I couldn't get the soundbar to work upon initial unboxing, so I had to reach out to Majority itself. An engineer instructed me to fiddle with my TV settings (I discuss exactly how to do this in my Majority Naga 60 review), and ta-da! It worked. Finally, the design. I find pretty much all soundbars relatively ugly (except the Marshall Heston 120), but the Naga 60 is a little extra ugly. It's bulky and weirdly tall. However, this is a worthy tradeoff for costing literally $67.
