Samsung is reportedly cooking up a pair of XR smart glasses because, let’s face it, plain old reality is getting a little stale. Much like the elusive Project Moohan headset, these specs are expected to run on Google’s Android XR platform—because what’s a futuristic gadget without a heavyweight tech alliance plotting its every move? Per Android Authority, Samsung’s goal isn’t just another gadget—it’s a wearable that won’t make you look like you’re cosplaying a dystopian sci-fi character. The XR headset? Bulky. The glasses? Supposedly sleek enough to wear without feeling like you’re lugging around a face-mounted mainframe.
Rumor has it Samsung is planning a joint launch later this year, where both Project Moohan and these smart glasses might drop. If that’s the case, we’re not just extending reality anymore—we’re rewriting the terms of engagement.
The ‘Haean’ Smart Glasses: Designed for Comfort and Fit
Samsung’s XR smart glasses, which are rumored to be called “Haean” are not just another attempt to put a computer on your face. The company’s play here? Comfort. And not just the thinner and lighter as it is commonly advertised – Samsung wants these things to fit different face shapes so that people do not end up looking like they borrowed them from a cyborg with better bone structure. Inside these glasses, it is believed that there will be Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2 Plus Gen 2 chip because if you are going to blur reality, it is better to do it with the best hardware.
Cutting-Edge Features: AI, Cameras, and Sensors to Track Your Every Move
But here is the icing on the cake: a 12MP built-in camera, a 155mAh battery because charging your glasses is the new normal, and a set of sensors that will monitor your every step. Gesture controls? Fitness tracking? In fact, these glasses will not only look at the world, but also look at you, at the flick of a wrist. Samsung has not revealed all the details but one thing is for sure, this is not just a wearable, it is a new way of seeing.
Screen or No Screen? AI Could Be the Core Experience
No one knows whether the Samsung XR glasses will have a screen at all or if they will just be a pair of glasses that make you look into the abyss while waiting for some AI to tell you how much it loves you. But here is the punchline: At the time when Google was announcing Android XR platform, the company stated that the system would support screen-less glasses. Translation? Samsung could be doing away with the display entirely and instead place all its chips on AI as your new omniscient digital assistant.
AI-Powered Assistance: The Future of Wearable Tech
If that’s the case, then it is safe to assume that Gemini AI will be at the helm of these glasses, transforming them into something between an omnipresent assistant and a walking, talking, all-knowing entity. Directions? Handled. Conversations? So you can fake fluency in real time, so to speak. In other words, if these glasses are to be true to Google’s vision, you will not have extended reality; instead, you will hear it read to you in real time. The real question? Whether this is the next logical progression of man and machine integration —or simply a way to add an AI to your everyday life and label it as progress.
Final Words
It’s a bold move that Samsung is undertaking. This new XR smart glasses may revolutionize how we view reality. If the rumors are true, they will not only contribute to the reality, but transform it. A tool, not a toy. An invention that is in harmony with the user rather than being a tool that opposes them. These glasses could clear the clutter with a strong Qualcomm chip and an AI mind. No screens, no distractions.
It is always convenient to have what you need when you need it. Real-time help. Directions without a map. Translations without a book. A guide whispering in your ear, always ready, never in the way. But promises are easy. The real question is, will they last? Will they become like a part of us like a watch or a good knife? Or will they disappear as yet another brilliant concept that was not relevant in the context? No one knows. But the future is already on its way and it is not slow to arrive.
