Early leaks suggest the device may weigh around 50 grams with multiple cameras, respond to gestures\/facial recognition, and complete payments. Galaxy AI is expected to power the device and display information on its HUD (display), as well as produce sound through its frame.<\/p>\n<p>Last year it was reported that Samsung was taking a long look at Project Haiyan to ensure they were comfortable to wear. What&#8217;s interesting about this new leak is that another rumor from last year claimed that the model number of the device could be SM-O500P. This &#8220;P&#8221; addition was mentioned by AssembleDebug this week, but as a model &#8220;variant&#8221;. Rumors suspected that the glasses would lack mobile data, but would feature Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support. Project Hain was expected to start last year, but it did not happen.<\/p>\n<p>With rumors coming back\u2014with One UI 9 as a model number to boot\u2014the year is probably 2026.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-2NfkvCgbkXDD2A3MT9FKcK\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-2NfkvCgbkXDD2A3MT9FKcK slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Get the latest news from Android Central, your trusted partner in the world of Android<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr id=\"elk-f93ac6d0-e7fa-4f6e-8045-6fd8d0de0172\"\/><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-42ecbf66-b9f0-4f75-815b-0885600de048\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"android-central-s-take-3\">Android Central&#8217;s Tech<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-30fcb65d-7922-42e0-991f-a354a593e0e3\">Project Hain will definitely be an interesting product once launched. Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy XR headset has already hit the market and it created quite a stir when people got a full look at it. I suspect Project Hahn will be the same; Attracting consumers interested in the smart glasses market. I think the display capabilities will be something to look at.
