Samsung may have a third pair of XR glasses on the way

At a glance:

• Samsung’s upcoming XR lineup could include three distinct smart‑glass models: SM‑O200P, SM‑O200J and SM‑O500.
• The third model, codenamed “Haean,” reappeared in One UI 9 firmware code, suggesting a possible launch in the next few months.
• All three devices are expected to be locatable via the Samsung Find app and will run a customized version of Google’s Android XR OS.

What we know about Samsung’s smart‑glass roadmap

Samsung introduced the Galaxy XR headset (model SM‑I610) to stores last year, positioning it as a full‑immersion mixed‑reality device. In parallel, the company has been quietly developing lighter, Ray‑Ban‑style smart glasses that sit closer to the wearables market. Two models have already been identified: SM‑O200P and SM‑O200J, both bearing the internal codename “Jinju.”

These glasses are designed to pair like any other Bluetooth accessory, appearing alongside headphones, watches and earbuds in the One UI pairing UI. Early leaks indicated that Samsung would also integrate them with the Samsung Find app, a location‑tracking service similar to Google’s Find Hub, allowing users to see a lost device on a map.

New evidence of a third device in One UI 9

While analysing the upcoming One UI 9 source code, researchers uncovered references to a third smart‑glass model. The code mentions the codename “Haean” and a concrete model number, SM‑O500. This is the same naming convention used for the Jinju glasses (SM‑O200 series) and distinct from the Galaxy XR’s SM‑I610 identifier, reinforcing the idea that SM‑O500 is a regular pair of smart glasses rather than an over‑the‑head headset.

The “Haean” device has been rumored for over a year and was originally slated to launch alongside the Galaxy XR headset in 2025, a plan that never materialised. Its re‑emergence in the One UI 9 codebase hints that Samsung may be preparing a near‑term release, potentially within the next few months, rather than waiting for a later year.

How the three models differ and what that means for users

The SM‑O200P and SM‑O200J appear to be regional variants of the same hardware platform, likely differing only in market‑specific firmware or connectivity bands. The newly discovered SM‑O500, however, seems to be a separate design, possibly offering distinct features such as a different form factor, sensor suite, or battery capacity.

All three glasses are expected to run a specialised build of Google’s Android XR operating system, giving developers a familiar API while allowing Samsung to add proprietary services like the Find app integration. If Samsung proceeds with a three‑model launch, consumers could choose between a basic pair (SM‑O200 series) and a potentially higher‑spec “Haean” version (SM‑O500), expanding the ecosystem beyond the single Galaxy XR headset.

What to watch next

The discovery is based on an APK teardown, which predicts features from work‑in‑progress code. While promising, there is no guarantee that every hinted capability will reach a public release. Samsung has not confirmed any launch dates, pricing, or regional availability for the SM‑O500. Future leaks or official announcements will clarify whether “Haean” becomes a commercial product or remains an internal prototype.

For now, the key takeaway is that Samsung’s smart‑glass ambitions appear broader than previously thought, with three distinct models potentially entering the market and integrated location‑tracking to mitigate loss—a common pain point for wearable users.
