New Samsung Galaxy Smart Glasses Leak
Last October was a busy month for Samsung, they announced their first device that runs on Google’s Android XR, called the Galaxy XR. Now, there’s a new rumor going around about another piece of wearable tech that Samsung is working on. It seems like a pair of smart glasses that could be the next big thing in their lineup. The information comes from a pretty reliable leak, and it sheds some light on what these glasses might be like.
Details on the Speculations
When Google introduced Android XR late in 2024, they said it will support not just headsets but also smart glasses. Samsung, who already have a headset out, seems to be focusing more on these smart eyepieces now. The leak, coming from Android Headlines and OnLeaks, talks about a device called “Jinju,” which is supposedly the code name for the Samsung Galaxy Glasses. They are expected to enter a competitive market, standing against devices like the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) and Huawei AI Glasses. Interestingly, these glasses won’t have a display, but they will come equipped with a camera instead.
What Features Will They Have?
One major feature that’s highlighted is support for Gemini, Samsung’s AI assistant. This means users will be able to ask questions, get translations, or even find directions, all through voice commands. The specs reported include a Snapdragon AR1 processor, a 12 Megapixel Sony IMX681 camera, and a small 155mAh battery. They’ll utilize Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi, and will feature directional speakers along with photochromic lenses that change tint based on lighting conditions. These glasses are very light, weighing about 50 grams. Actual weight might vary if different styles are released. Interestingly, Samsung previously worked with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster on smart glasses, which makes these potentially similar or the same glasses.
Pricing and Expected Release
The rumored price for these Galaxy Glasses falls between $379 and $499. That price range is quite comparable to the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2), which can be found on different retail sites. It’s not confirmed if Samsung will stick to this price once they officially launch them. Aside from these, Samsung is also reportedly developing another set of smart glasses under the codename “Haean.” These are expected to feature a micro-LED display like the Meta Ray-Ban Display, and they could cost more—around $600 to $900. The Haean glasses are believed to be released in 2027, while the Galaxy Glasses might be announced this year, possibly during the Galaxy Z Unpacked event.
