While Samsung already has a bunch of wearables, its upcoming smart glasses might tighten the experience even further. A new leak from SammyGuru offers an early look at the Galaxy Glasses Manager app, the companion app Samsung is expected to use for its new smart glasses.

The leak does not reveal final pricing, battery life, launch date, or every hardware spec. Unlike your typical leak that just hints at a device, the companion app actually makes it sound more real.

The app shows how the glasses work

The leaked setup flow reportedly walks users through pairing the glasses, granting permissions, and managing device features. Once paired, the app appears to show battery status and controls for software updates, camera settings, AI assistants, read-aloud notifications, advanced features, accessibility, and a Find My glasses tool.

There is also an option to automatically import photos and videos captured by the glasses to a connected Galaxy phone. So the smart glasses are clearly aiming for user convenience as well. Nobody wants to dig through menus for photos.

This is what made Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses so popular, and Samsung’s Galaxy Glasses are looking to be a viable alternative.

How the Galaxy Glasses may leverage the Watch and Ring

The leak gets more interesting when other Galaxy wearables enter the picture. SammyGuru found signs of a dedicated Galaxy Glasses Controller app for Galaxy Watches. It also spotted references suggesting Galaxy Ring gesture controls for the glasses.

So unlike the Meta Ray-Ban, Samsung brings a strong Galaxy ecosystem of device family as well, which could all work seamlessly together. Imagine tapping or gesturing with a ring to trigger something on your glasses, using your Galaxy Watch as a quick controller, then having captured media appear on your phone.

Samsung could give Android XR a bigger stage

Samsung and Google have already previewed smart glasses built around Android XR, Gemini, and eyewear designs from Warby Parker and Gentle Monster. The glasses are meant to act as phone companions, with voice-driven help, navigation, notifications, calendar support, translation, and hands-free photo capture.

In other words, the lighter AI glasses are built to make your phone interactions easier without constantly having to pull it out and check it.

Your dog can run, but Fi’s new Starlink satellite-backed tracker makes sure you can still find them
Fi Ultra borrows Starlink satellites to find pups that wander off the grid
Fi Ultra dog tracker

A runaway pup can race into a forest or across miles of open countryside, leaving its owner with a GPS tracker that suddenly has no way to report its location. But Fi is looking to solve that problem with the Fi Ultra, which is a new dog tracker that falls back on SpaceX’s Starlink network whenever cellular coverage disappears. The company describes it as the first dog tracker powered by T-Mobile’s T-Satellite with Starlink service. It is available now in the US for $199, plus a $20 activation fee and a $189 annual membership.

Still waiting for a cheaper Vision Pro? New report brings bad news
Another nail just landed in the cheaper Vision Pro’s coffin
Apple Vision Pro

After bouncing around rumors and reports, the cheaper Vision Pro dream might be dead. We've seen delays, a supposed cancellation, and even a possible revival over the last couple of months. But a new supply chain report suggests it may finally be time to stop waiting.

Apple has reportedly suspended development of a lower-cost display intended for a lighter, more affordable Vision headset. Samsung Display plans to formally terminate the project in September, according to Korean outlet The Elec. Apple has made no public announcement about canceling the headset, although losing its purpose-built display makes an eventual launch look increasingly improbable.

Google has already confirmed its next Made by Google event for August 12 to unveil the Pixel 11 series smartphones. While it wasn't confirmed whether the brand planned to launch a new generation of wearables this year, a new price leak from Dealabs suggests that the Pixel Watch 5 will also break cover at the event, and it might come with a price hike, just like the Pixel smartphones.

According to Dealabs, Google is keeping the same basic Pixel Watch 5 lineup as last year. The watch is expected to come in 41mm and 45mm sizes, with both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as well as 4G LTE models.
