A leak of renderings last week sparked speculation that Samsung’s next wearables would be called Galaxy Glasses. An update to the Nearby Device Scanning app now references “Glasses quick pair,” effectively confirming the moniker. The changelog also mentions a “battery pop up” feature, suggesting tight integration with Samsung phones and tablets. The missing Galaxy prefix seems a simple editorial slip, given the brand’s naming consistency.

The revised app adds a quick‑pair shortcut for the glasses and displays their battery level on the companion device, mirroring the behavior already available for Galaxy Buds and Watches. Users will see a pop‑up notification when power runs low, streamlining management of the new accessory without opening separate settings. This seamless pairing mirrors Samsung’s broader strategy to lock users into its ecosystem.

Specs leaked alongside the name point to a 12 MP camera, a modest 155 mAh cell and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon AR1 processor, with Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth radios for connectivity. Lacking a traditional display, the device relies on the paired phone for visual output. Samsung is expected to unveil the product at its July Unpacked event, cementing its entry into mainstream AR wearables. Pricing details remain undisclosed.
