Galaxy Event October 2025: Official Livestream | Samsung

What happened: It’s finally happening. Samsung is getting ready to pull back the curtain on “Project Moohan,” its brand-new AI-powered headset.

  • This isn’t just Samsung’s project, though; they’ve been working with Google and Qualcomm to build it on a new platform called Android XR, which is designed to put AI at the very center of the experience.
  • Think of it as Samsung’s long-awaited answer to Apple’s Vision Pro. We’ll get to see the whole thing on October 21st, and you can already sign up to get a notification (and a $100 credit if you end up buying one).

Why is this important: Okay, so this isn’t just another headset hitting the market.

  • This is Samsung’s big swing at the future, blending the virtual and real worlds together. More importantly, it’s the grand debut of Android XR.
  • This could be for headsets what Android became for our phones—the go-to platform that everyone uses, opening the door for all sorts of new devices down the line.

Why should I care: So, why should this be on your radar? Mostly because of the following reasons:

  • Because this could completely change how we do things every day—from the way we play games and watch movies to how we work on projects or chat with people.
  • You can expect it to be packed with smart, AI-powered features and feel super immersive. It’s going to be powerful, thanks to the latest Snapdragon chip inside, but yeah, it’ll probably have a price tag to match.

What’s next: Mark your calendars for 10 p.m. ET on October 21st. That’s when we’ll finally get all the juicy details—the price, the specs, and when we can actually buy one. There’s a good chance they’ll try to get it on shelves just in time for the holiday season. The launch, which you can watch using the video player embedded at the top of this page, isn’t just about one headset; it’s the first chapter in a whole new story for Android, and it all officially kicks off in just a few days.

Xiaomi’s new earbuds are five times cheaper than AirPods Pro, with ANC included
These £40 Redmi earbuds have ANC, Hi-Res audio, and no premium pricing
Redmi Buds 8

Xiaomi’s latest budget earbuds are rolling out beyond Asia, and as always, the brand is bringing great specs for an accessible price tag. The Redmi Buds 8 are now available in more global markets, including the UK and Germany. Xiaomi lists them for £40 in the UK and €50 in Germany, with an official German MSRP of €60 once the launch offer ends.

In comparison, Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 cost £219 in the UK, which makes them more than five times as expensive as Xiaomi’s new earbuds. While the AirPods do bring deeper ecosystem features and advanced health features, the Redmi Buds 8 are an affordable alternative for earbuds with ANC.

Xiaomi has never exactly been shy about where some of its inspiration comes from. Every now and then, the company makes something that looks at Apple’s homework, changes the font, and somehow still ends up with a pretty compelling product. That's why my recent trip to Taiwan for Computex 2026 had me buying some familiar-looking products, namely the Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W and the Redmi Buds 8 Pro.

At a glance, both neatly slot into a very familiar Apple-shaped corner. The power bank feels like a cheaper answer to Apple’s iPhone Air MagSafe Battery. The Redmi Buds 8 Pro are trying to offer some of the AirPods Pro experience without asking for AirPods Pro money. But these aren't knock-offs. They aren't even a copy. These are well-built gadgets that simply offer better value.

Instant insight: SQD without the sticker shock

When I reviewed the TCL X11L earlier this year, I called it the best picture quality Mini-LED can currently offer. But at $7,999, it's not the TV most people are actually going to buy. Enter the QM8L, a superb TV with a more approachable price point.
