I’ve been waiting for a few years to hear about Samsung’s entrance to XR. The company’s still unknown Mixed Reality Headset ‘Project Moohan’ will debut later this year and run Google’s Android XR operating system. Report from now Etnews (Korean) The Korean tech giant claims to have a pair of XR glasses on its sleeves.
Citing industry sources, the report claims that Samsung is developing XR glasses (described as “smart glasses” in the report) with the goal of Samsung releasing them by the end of the year.
Samsung is reportedly completing the features and specifications of the device now. This is said to be called “haen” (in Korean, “coast” or “coast”).
“With Apple’s Vision Pro already on the market, the focus is on delivering a more advanced user experience for Samsung,” an industry insider said. Etnews.
In particular, the report is not specified accurately What kind That’s why I’m currently calling them “XR glasses” because of the device’s haen.
This report calls devices a pair of “smart glasses” (machines translated from Korean), which can be used interchangeably to refer to two types of devices.

The report doesn’t specify any specific features of Haen, so for now they’re calling them XR glasses.
Normally, reports should be photographed with a single grain of salt, Etnews It is the outlet that broke the news that LG is shaking its XR product division, and confirmed that discussions with Meta are moving in seemingly unplanned directions. Meta tapped LG as its XR software and hardware partner in February 2024, but it was rumored at the time that it would include LG’s META’s Vision Pro competitor. LG has since confirmed it has closed its XR products division and instead focuses on long-term R&D.
Still, this is not the first time Samsung is preparing to enter the XR Glasses market. In 2021, Microsoft Leaker’s “WalkingCat” showed off two leaked videos from the company with a futuristic AR concept device. Samsung has also filed numerous trademarks over the years, with the latest “Galaxy Glass” patent being filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
After that, a report from Korea Yonhap News Last year, Samsung claimed to unveil a pair of XR glasses at the company’s unpacked product event in January, but unfortunately it didn’t happen. Small Compensation: Samsung has shown a slide featuring XR glasses as part of its future roadmap.
Devices mentioned in Yonhap News The report is said to include payment capabilities, gesture recognition and facial recognition, noting that it is expected to be released around the third quarter of 2025.
In any case, it appears Samsung is making the most of its partnership with Google and is gearing up to integrate Android XR into the next big entry into its segment Project Moohan.
Until now, we’ve been practicing with Moohan and in January we saw the “near-final” version of the hardware in 2025, which was unpacked in 2025, but its release date and actual name are still wrapped.
If Samsung wants to create a splash, it can reveal the device at many venues. Even the upcoming I/O conferences at Google in May, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit in October/November, or even the hypothetical special event specializing in the efforts of both Moohan and its XR Glasses.
