During the Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event in January, Samsung teased that it might be developing a new wearable in the form of smart glasses. A new report suggests that the purported device, codenamed “Haean”, could make its debut as soon as this year. It will reportedly be launched alongside Project Moohan- the in-development extended reality (XR) headset- by the end of 2025, marking the company’s foray into the wearable glasses market.
Samsung’s about to drop smart glasses with XR, a camera and a built-in Gemini assistant. All sleek, all wearable.
But let’s be real: hardware is nothing without the right intelligence behind it.

‘Haean’ Smart glasses launch
According to a report by the South Korean publication ETNews, Samsung is finalising the features and specifications of its purported smart glasses. It is said to have a “thin and light” design, aiding high utilisation in daily life and compatibility with various face shapes. The report suggests that it may be indistinguishable from normal glasses or sunglasses, similar to the Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses.
The glasses are dubbed “Haean”, named after a city in South Korea, Samsung’s home turf. They are expected to be powered by Android XR OS, a new operating system designed for extended reality (XR) devices announced last year, along with support for its Gemini AI assistant. They are also reported to be equipped with cameras and sensors for motion tracking.
Previous reports suggest that the Samsung “Haean” smart glasses will not be equipped with displays, unlike other AR smart glasses. Instead, they could offer capabilities similar to the Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses such as video recording, music playback, calling, and social sharing.
At the Galaxy Unpacked event in January, Samsung emphasised how multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) will “change” interaction with new form factors like XR devices. Thus, the purported smart glasses are also speculated to come with AI features, likely to be powered by Galaxy AI — Samsung’s AI suite.
The Samsung “Haean” smart glasses are reported to launch by the end of the year alongside the Project Moohan XR headset.
