While Samsung has just unveiled its Galaxy XR mixed reality headset, it appears the company is continuing its experiments in wearable technology. The long-rumored XR smart glasses, known internally as “Haean,” are finally starting to be revealed thanks to new leaked details.
Samsung’s Everyday Smart Glasses ‘Haean’
The latest information comes from the model number SM-O200P, spotted by GalaxyClub. The interesting thing about this model number is that the model number of Samsung’s full-size XR headset (starting with SM-I) suggests that these glasses are positioned as a separate product line rather than a mini version of the headset.
One feature that seems to be really useful about the glasses is their transitional lenses, which automatically darken in sunlight and then clear up again indoors. This is a problem that many smart glasses still haven’t addressed. If this feature works well, it could make wearing them outdoors much more comfortable and appealing.
On the connectivity front, Samsung appears to have chosen to keep things simple: only Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support are available, with no mobile data connection. This means the glasses will be reliant on your phone for most complex tasks.
The device also features a tiny built-in camera. While the leak doesn’t specify the camera’s resolution, a previous report mentioned a 12MP Sony IMX681 sensor, primarily for functions like hand gesture tracking. This camera likely won’t be suitable for professional photography, text recognition, or vlogging.
The glasses are expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s AR1 chip and an NXP chip for additional tasks. The battery capacity is reported to be just 155 mAh. While this might sound small, it aligns with the idea that the glasses are extremely lightweight and designed for long-term wear. Samsung already has a powerful XR headset for complex tasks.
Many assumed these smart glasses would be unveiled alongside the Galaxy XR headset earlier this year, but that didn’t happen. There’s still no firm release date, but early 2026 seems like a safe bet.
What’s clear is that Samsung is aiming for smart glasses that people will actually want to wear in their daily lives—lightweight, all-day wearable, and with just a hint of smart functionality. This device will fill a niche that the heavier XR headset couldn’t.
