Samsung may have only just shown off its Galaxy XR headset, but the company clearly has more wearable experiments in the pipeline. Its long-rumored XR smart glasses — the ones known internally as “Haean” — have popped up again, and the newest leak gives us the clearest picture yet of what Samsung’s cooking.
The latest info comes from GalaxyClub, which spotted the model number SM-O200P tied to the glasses. That’s interesting because Samsung’s full-size XR headset starts with SM-I, which hints that the company sees these glasses as their own product line rather than a mini version of the headset.
A genuinely useful feature seems to be transition lenses that darken in sunlight and clear back up indoors. It sounds obvious, but it’s something most smart glasses still get wrong. If it works well, it could make wearing them outdoors more comfortable and a lot more appealing.
As for connectivity, Samsung seems to be keeping things simple: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only, no mobile data. So the glasses will still lean on your phone for most heavy lifting. There’s also a tiny built-in camera. This leak doesn’t confirm the resolution, but an older report mentioned a 12MP Sony IMX681, mainly for things like hand-gesture tracking. It may not be suitable for photography, text recognition and translation, or vlogging.
Under the hood, the glasses are expected to run on Qualcomm’s AR1 chip, paired with an NXP chip for extra duties. The battery is reportedly just 155 mAh, which sounds tiny but lines up with the idea that these are meant to be super lightweight and worn for long stretches. After all, the brand already has a beefy XR headset for more complicated tasks.
Many people assumed Samsung would reveal the glasses alongside the Galaxy XR headset earlier this year, but that obviously didn’t happen. There’s still no clear timeline — early 2026 seems like a safe guess, but nothing’s guaranteed.
What’s clear, though, is Samsung is aiming for smart glasses that look and feel like something people would actually wear day to day. It’ll probably fill the gap the headset can’t: a lightweight, all-day wearable with just a touch of smart functionality.
