Samsung's Next Frontier: Smart Earrings, Glasses & Necklaces

Samsung is venturing beyond the wrist and into the future with a bold expansion of its wearable technology portfolio.

The electronics giant is reportedly developing a suite of new smart devices in the form of earrings, glasses, and necklaces, signaling a strategic move to embed intelligent functionality into everyday accessories. 

The initiative, still in the exploratory phase, reflects Samsung's ambition to lead the next generation of wearables through seamless integration of AI, biometric sensing, and gesture-based controls into stylish, non-intrusive form factors. 

Beyond the Watch: A New Vision for Wearables 

Following the unveiling of its Galaxy Ring and the latest Watch8 series, Samsung is now accelerating work on “body-adaptive tech”, wearables that conform to how people naturally adorn themselves. 

According to CNN and recent trademark filings in South Korea, Samsung is actively researching form factors such as: 

Smart Earrings that may feature voice assistants, gesture recognition, or continuous biometric sensing (like heart rate or skin temperature). 

Necklaces designed to monitor posture, respiration, or ambient environmental data potentially acting as silent wellness companions. 

Augmented Reality Glasses, reportedly codenamed “Haean,” which are expected to launch in late 2025 with built-in AI, gesture interaction, and real-time translation. 

"Samsung’s wearable roadmap goes far beyond convenience, it's about embedding intelligence into the most natural human behaviors," said a senior industry analyst.

"We’re witnessing the birth of wearables that don’t look like gadgets." 

AI on Your Face, Style on Your Wrist 

The centerpiece of Samsung’s innovation may be the “Haean” smart glasses project, which insiders suggest is a fusion of augmented reality and conversational AI, powered by Google’s Gemini large language model and Qualcomm’s latest XR processors. 

Expected features include: 

Subtle overlays of navigation, health data, and notifications. 

Multi-device control using head movement or finger gestures. 

Real-time translation for travel and communication. 

Production is rumored to begin in Q3 2025, with an initial volume of 500,000 units. 

Fashion Meets Function 

Samsung’s movement toward fashionable wearables aligns with broader shifts in consumer behavior.

Smart rings, earrings, and necklaces can deliver value without demanding attention, ideal for users who want health insights, alerts, and even payments, without bulky wristbands or screens. 

Recent trademark filings by Samsung for names like “Galaxy Pulse,” “Galaxy Rhythm,” and “Galaxy One” further suggest a branding strategy that aligns these wearables with emotion, movement, and personal expression. 

This follows a trend in the industry where technology companies are collaborating with fashion houses to create "invisible tech", devices that blend into the wardrobe rather than stand out from it. 

The Future Is Modular, Discreet, and Personal 

Samsung’s research also aligns with its broader AI+Health strategy.

The idea is to create a constellation of devices, each serving a different function, placed on different parts of the body, and collectively communicating to deliver a complete health and productivity profile. 

Imagine this scenario: smart earrings track your stress levels through voice modulation, your glasses translate a conversation in real time, and your necklace alerts you to posture strain—all while your Galaxy Ring monitors your heart rate and sleep. 

In this vision, the body becomes the interface. 

What’s Next? 

Prototypes of the Galaxy Glasses may debut at MWC 2025 or CES 2026. 

Further announcements are expected in upcoming Galaxy Unpacked events. 

Patent activity suggests increasing development around gesture-based control systems for smart jewelry. 

Samsung declined to comment on unreleased products but has previously stated its commitment to “expanding the boundaries of personalized technology and AI-powered health.” 

Conclusion 

From smart rings to earrings and glasses, Samsung is laying the foundation for a world where wearable technology isn’t worn out, it’s worn in.

By turning everyday accessories into intelligent devices, Samsung may be redefining not just wearables, but what it means to be connected in the age of ambient AI. 

As the lines between fashion, health, and tech continue to blur, the next big innovation might not be in your pocket, but on your ear, around your neck, or resting lightly on your face.
