Samsung is developing a new line of lightweight extended reality (XR) glasses, codenamed ‘Haean,’ signaling a move towards more integrated and everyday wearable technology distinct from its larger head-mounted devices.
Leaked specifications suggest a strong focus on portability and practical user experience for the upcoming smart glasses. Key features include adaptive lenses and specialized internal components.
The glasses will reportedly feature lenses that can automatically adjust their tint, darkening for outdoor use and lightening for indoor environments. This adaptability aims to enhance usability across various settings.
Designed for all-day wear, the device will incorporate a lightweight body and a 155 mAh battery. This emphasizes comfort and extended functionality for the user.
Processing power will come from a Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 chipset, engineered for smooth augmented and virtual reality experiences. An NXP chip will work alongside it, managing power and wireless communications for demanding tasks.
A small 12-megapixel Sony IMX681 camera sensor will be integrated into the glasses. Its primary function is for hand gesture tracking, allowing users to control the device with motion.
This new product line, identified by model number SM-O200P, marks a clear distinction from Samsung’s recently launched head-mounted Galaxy XR, which debuted in late October 2025 with model numbers starting with SM-I.
Connectivity for the ‘Haean’ glasses will be limited to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, without support for 5G networks. The integrated camera will not support general photography, text detection, or language translation, underscoring its specialized role in gesture control.
Information about the device emerged from the Dutch website GalaxyClub.
International media reports anticipate a version of the glasses without a display on the lenses could launch as early as 2026. A more advanced version, featuring a display integrated into the lenses, might follow in 2027.
