Samsung confirms the Galaxy Glasses name

Yesterday a leak brought us renders of Samsung's upcoming pair of smart glasses, and we obviously assumed these would be called Galaxy Glasses. Now, Samsung has pretty much confirmed this through an app update.

We're talking about the Nearby Device Scanning app, which is part of Samsung's One UI on Galaxy phones and tablets, and ensures you can quickly connect to nearby devices - like the upcoming Galaxy Glasses. The second row of the app's latest changelog references "Glasses quick pair" as being supported, as well as "battery pop up" for them, as you can see in the first screenshot below.

So it's pretty much confirmed now, the Samsung glasses will be called Galaxy Glasses (while the Galaxy is missing from the changelog above, Samsung has always used it for its mobile products so we highly doubt it wouldn't this time around - it's most likely just an omission by whoever wrote this changelog).

The Nearby Device Scanning app's changelog has, as you may have already gathered, also revealed that you will be able to have the battery level of your Galaxy Glasses displayed on your Samsung phone or tablet in a similar way to what you can already do for the Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Watches.

The Galaxy Glasses might be unveiled at Samsung's summer Unpacked event that is most likely taking place in July. They will allegedly have a 12MP camera, a 155 mAh battery, no screen, and Qualcomm's Snapdragon AR1 chipset at the helm, with support for both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
