A line of code buried in Samsung’s upcoming One UI 9 revealed the model number SM‑O500, reigniting rumors that the company’s long‑rumored XR glasses, Project Haean, are headed for launch. The snippet appeared alongside two other unidentified model IDs, suggesting possible variants. AssembleDebug, a tipster known for deep Android dives, confirmed the find, noting similar references to Samsung’s Galaxy XR headset within the same firmware.

Project Haean first entered the conversation in 2025, with leaks promising transition lenses, in‑lens displays, multiple cameras, speakers and gesture‑based controls powered by Galaxy AI. Earlier speculation pegged the device at roughly 50 grams, Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and the ability to handle payments via facial recognition. The recent code drop suggests Samsung has moved past the prototype phase and is positioning the glasses for a 2026 debut.

If Samsung proceeds, Project Haean would join a sparse market dominated by Meta’s Ray‑Ban Stories and emerging Chinese offerings, giving Android users a native XR experience integrated with the One UI ecosystem. Consumers could expect seamless handoff between Galaxy phones and the glasses, leveraging existing Samsung accounts for authentication. The code discovery confirms the product is no longer speculative—it’s on the launch track.
