Samsung’s long-rumoured smart glasses project has surfaced again, with the clearest details yet pointing to a lightweight, AI-driven wearable designed to take on Meta’s Ray-Ban lineup.

Dutch outlet GalaxyClub has uncovered a device carrying the model number SM-O200P, a notable distinction from Samsung’s full-size Galaxy XR headset, which uses an SM-I prefix.

The change strongly suggests Samsung is preparing a standalone product line rather than a shrunken version of its Galaxy XR.

Internally known as Project Haean, the glasses appear to prioritise everyday practicality over heavy AR features.

One standout inclusion is transition lenses that automatically darken in sunlight and clear indoors – a seemingly simple feature most smart glasses still struggle to execute well.

If Samsung gets this right, outdoor usability could be a major selling point.

Connectivity is said to be limited to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, with no onboard mobile data.

That means the glasses will rely on a paired phone for internet access and AI processing, keeping battery demands down.

A small built-in camera is also expected, reportedly a 12MP Sony IMX681 sensor based on earlier leaks, intended for hand-gesture tracking rather than photography or full AR video capture.

The wearable is tipped to run on Qualcomm’s AR1 chipset, supported by an NXP coprocessor. A tiny 155mAh battery highlights Samsung’s focus on comfort and all-day wear, positioning the device as a lightweight companion to the more powerful Galaxy XR headset.

Samsung has already confirmed partnerships with Google, Gentle Monster and Warby Parker to develop fashionable AI-enabled eyewear, though it has kept quiet on specifics.

The company did not launch smart glasses alongside the Galaxy XR, but multiple reports now point to an early 2026 unveiling, likely as the first of two models – the second being a more advanced version with display capabilities expected in 2027.
