Samsung is reportedly developing a pair of Meta Ray-Ban-esque smart glasses that it hopes to reveal before the end of 2026. These would be separate from the full AR glasses, dubbed Project Haean, in development in a partnership with Google.

According to the Korean publication Seoul Economic Daily (via Jukanlosreve), the display-free Samsung glasses will feature speakers, a microphone and a camera, similar to the Meta Ray-Ban glasses. SE Daily claims that Samsung is developing its smart glasses as a way to take a “leading position” in the burgeoning market.

It’s not clear from the report if Samsung will develop an in-house version of Android XR that connects to the glasses like it does with its Android-based One UI operating system. Or if the AI features will be in a separate app connected to your Galaxy phone or smart watch.

Samsung’s Project Moohan XR headset is slated to arrive later this year alongside a set of Android-powered smart glasses around the same time. Samsung is reportedly still finalizing features and specifications of the glasses, but they are supposed to run on the same Android XR operating system as Moohan.

These glasses would be more akin to the Xreal One Pro AR glasses. Samsung is supposedly going to emphasize comfort with Project Haean by offering options to adjust the glasses based on your face shape.

As of this writing, we don’t know when exactly Project Moohan or Haean will be released beyond vague “this year” claims.

For now, we have to sit tight and wait to see what Samsung has in store for us this year and next.
