Samsung Galaxy Glasses (Project Haean) Delayed to Mid-2027 — Android XR Partners Ship First

Samsung{"'"}s Galaxy Glasses won{"'"}t ship in 2026 after all. The company{"'"}s in-house Android XR smart glasses, codenamed Project Haean, have been pushed from the originally planned fall 2026 window to mid-2027.

Why the Delay

Samsung is integrating tighter Galaxy phone handoff features and a heavier on-device compute load that requires additional qualification time. The company wants its glasses to work seamlessly within the Galaxy ecosystem — Galaxy phone tethering, Samsung Health integration, and SmartThings control — which requires more development than the lighter partner models from Warby Parker.

Who Ships First

• Warby Parker Android XR glasses: October 14, 2026 at $799 (display model)
• Google screenless model: November 2026 at $299 (audio-only)
• Gentle Monster variant: Early 2027
• Samsung Galaxy Glasses: Mid-2027 (delayed from fall 2026)
