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.

An iPhone app designed to alert users when smart glasses may be nearby has climbed to No. 3 on the US paid App Store chart. Its name, AntiZuck Smart Glasses Scanner, leaves little doubt about how the developer feels about Meta’s camera-equipped glasses.

The app costs $2.99 and scans for Bluetooth signals linked to smart glasses. It can spot Meta Ray-Bans, Snap Spectacles, Amazon Echo Frames, and RayNeo glasses, then sends an alert when it believes one is nearby.

Smart glasses have quietly morphed into tiny surveillance cameras that people willingly wear on their faces. Every other week, a new pair promises to record video, listen to conversations, and feed it to an AI model somewhere in the cloud. They are causing such havoc that they have earned a new name: “pervert glasses.”

Not only are these glasses a privacy nightmare for people being recorded but also for people using them. A recent investigation by Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet showed that Meta Ray-Ban glasses were uploading intimate and private recordings for training its AI.

Apple recently announced its new Apple Upgrade leasing plan, which lets customers pay monthly for an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch through Klarna. The program replaces the long-running iPhone Upgrade Program and expands the option beyond phones for the first time.

However, code discovered by 9to5Mac in an iOS 27 beta raised concerns about what could happen if someone fell behind on payments. The new App Managed Features system appeared capable of checking a customer’s payment status and placing a financed device into Restricted Mode.
