Samsung is quietly putting the finishing touches on its first pair of smart glasses, and the latest clues suggest the device is already making its way into the company's software. A recent One UI 8.5 build has just revealed how "Galaxy Glasses" will integrate directly into the broader Galaxy ecosystem.

Specifically, the glasses will appear in your phone's Bluetooth device list—right alongside your Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Watch, or Galaxy Ring. The wearable is identified by its own name and a minimalist icon depicting the front of the frames, keeping the design language consistent with the rest of Samsung's hardware lineup.

This detail was spotted within the SystemUI of One UI 8.5, the core component handling features like the quick panel and notifications. It’s a strong indicator that Samsung is actively building the software foundation needed for its phones and smart glasses to work seamlessly together, rather than treating the glasses as a mere standalone accessory.

Previous leaks indicate that Samsung is developing two versions of the Galaxy Glasses. The first model could launch as early as this year, with a successor slated for 2027. Insiders suggest this initial device might feature a 12MP camera and photochromic lenses that shift color based on lighting.

On the software front, Google’s Android XR platform is expected to take center stage. Third-party developers are already beginning to optimize their apps for eyewear, paving the way for an entirely new ecosystem. Of course, Samsung isn't alone in this race—several major tech rivals are gearing up to launch similar spatial computing products of their own.
