First Look: Samsung Galaxy Glasses Revealed via New Manager App
First Look: Samsung Galaxy Glasses App Reveals Potential Design and Features
Samsung’s foray into the world of smart glasses is officially happening. We’ve known for a while that the company is working on its first pair of wearable glasses powered by Android XR with a custom One UI XR skin—and now, we have a name: the Samsung Galaxy Glasses.
We finally have a sneak peek at how these will actually look and function, thanks to a recent leak of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Glasses Manager app. Enthusiasts over at SammyGuru managed to get their hands on the app, uncovering imagery that reveals both the glasses themselves and their dedicated charging case.
What Can the Galaxy Glasses Do?
Based on the leaked screenshots, the Manager app serves as the central hub for your hardware. You’ll be able to handle the essentials like software updates, custom settings, and toggling specific features on or off. Perhaps most interestingly, the app supports seamless photo and video syncing, allowing you to pull your captured media directly onto your smartphone.
Samsung is clearly leaning into its ecosystem integration, too. If you’re already part of the Galaxy family, you can expect some cool synergy:
- Galaxy Ring Integration: Use your Galaxy Ring to control the glasses through intuitive gestures.
- Galaxy Watch Controller: A secondary app, the Galaxy Glasses Controller, will allow you to manage the glasses directly from your wrist.
The design featured in the leak appears to be a sleek, Warby Parker-inspired model, suggesting Samsung is prioritizing a wearable, everyday aesthetic over the clunky, sci-fi look we’ve seen from other manufacturers in the past.
When Can You Get Them?
While an official launch date is still up in the air, the rumor mill is spinning fast. There is speculation that Samsung might offer a teaser at the upcoming Unpacked event, which is currently rumored to be taking place in London on July 22. Whether or not they drop later this year remains to be seen, but we’re definitely keeping our eyes on the horizon.
