Google and Samsung are collaborating to develop Android XR smart glasses, with a projected release in 2026. These glasses are expected to integrate deeply with Google’s Gemini AI assistant, offering features like real-time translations and interactive information displays.
The smart glasses are codenamed “Project Haean” and will run on Android XR, an operating system tailored for extended reality devices. This collaboration aims to position Google and Samsung competitively in the XR market, challenging offerings from companies like Apple and Meta.
While earlier reports suggested a 2025 launch, recent information indicates that the release has been postponed to 2026. Samsung’s Project Moohan headset, also developed in collaboration with Google, is still on track for a 2025 release.
At the TED2025 conference, Google demonstrated prototypes of these smart glasses, showcasing capabilities such as live translation and book scanning. These demonstrations highlight the potential of the glasses to seamlessly blend digital information with the real world.
As development continues, further details about the smart glasses’ features, design, and exact release date are anticipated. This collaboration between Google and Samsung signifies a significant step forward in the evolution of XR technology.
