Samsung Galaxy Glasses leak

While Samsung already has a bunch of wearables, its upcoming smart glasses might tighten the experience even further. A new leak from SammyGuru offers an early look at the Galaxy Glasses Manager app, the companion app Samsung is expected to use for its new smart glasses.

The leak does not reveal final pricing, battery life, launch date, or every hardware spec. Unlike your typical leak that just hints at a device, the companion app actually makes it sound more real.

The app shows how the glasses work

The leaked setup flow reportedly walks users through pairing the glasses, granting permissions, and managing device features. Once paired, the app appears to show battery status and controls for software updates, camera settings, AI assistants, read-aloud notifications, advanced features, accessibility, and a Find My glasses tool.

There is also an option to automatically import photos and videos captured by the glasses to a connected Galaxy phone. So the smart glasses are clearly aiming for user convenience as well. Nobody wants to dig through menus for photos.

This is what made Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses so popular, and Samsung’s Galaxy Glasses are looking to be a viable alternative.

How the Galaxy Glasses may leverage the Watch and Ring

The leak gets more interesting when other Galaxy wearables enter the picture. SammyGuru found signs of a dedicated Galaxy Glasses Controller app for Galaxy Watches. It also spotted references suggesting Galaxy Ring gesture controls for the glasses.

So unlike the Meta Ray-Ban, Samsung brings a strong Galaxy ecosystem of device family as well, which could all work seamlessly together. Imagine tapping or gesturing with a ring to trigger something on your glasses, using your Galaxy Watch as a quick controller, then having captured media appear on your phone.

Samsung could give Android XR a bigger stage

Samsung and Google have already previewed smart glasses built around Android XR, Gemini, and eyewear designs from Warby Parker and Gentle Monster. The glasses are meant to act as phone companions, with voice-driven help, navigation, notifications, calendar support, translation, and hands-free photo capture.

In other words, the lighter AI glasses are built to make your phone interactions easier without constantly having to pull it out and check it.

Meta will now charge you for the best AI feature on its smart glasses, and there’s a limit even if you pay

Ray-Ban Meta glasses owners are getting less free use out of one of the glasses' AI features starting this month. Conversation Focus, which isolates and amplifies the voice of the person a wearer is talking to in loud settings, has been capped at three hours of use per month for anyone who doesn't pay for Meta One Premium. Meta confirmed the change on a support page this week, which also notes that a subscription is not required to use the AI glasses in general.

Samsung is working on a new Galaxy Ring, and the most important upgrade may come from what happens after the ring collects health signals in the background.

Hon Pak, who leads Samsung's digital health team, told Forbes that a next generation ring is in development. Samsung hasn't announced the name, launch timing, price, regions, or specs, so Galaxy Ring 2 remains a useful shorthand rather than a confirmed product name.
