Samsung is reportedly nearing the finish line on its long-rumored smart glasses, codenamed Project HAEAN.
The company, according to Korean outlet ETNews, is finalizing the specs for the device, which now includes a built-in display — a notable shift from earlier plans that leaned toward a display-free XR wearable.
The glasses are designed to project visuals directly onto the lenses, showing “information or images on the glasses like the lenses.” They’ll also include onboard speakers for audio feedback, aiming for a hands-free, frictionless experience that doesn’t rely on buttons or remotes.

Samsung first teased the idea of a smart glasses concept at its Unpacked event earlier this year, hinting at a product designed to feel as natural and unobtrusive as possible. The company reportedly wants the glasses to “tailor the experience to the human body,” though it’s still unclear exactly what that means in practice.
While earlier leaks suggested the device wouldn’t feature a display, the new report suggests Samsung might have changed its mind. The glasses would reportedly feature some level of integration with Google’s Gemini AI platform, potentially making HAEAN a key player in the emerging battle for wearable AI dominance.
Samsung has already confirmed that it plans to launch “Project Moohan,” its Android-powered XR headset that’s made appearances at several events sometime this year.
There’s no official launch date for HAEAN yet, but a well-known leaker on X claims Samsung is targeting an unveiling of these XR smart glasses before the end of 2025.
