  • Samsung Smart Glasses Design Revealed in Latest Patent

    Samsung Smart Glasses Design Revealed in Latest Patent

    We’ve been hearing about Samsung‘s smart glasses for some time now, and the company even trademarked the name “Galaxy Glasses” back in 2023. In a new development, Samsung has now filed a patent with the World Intellectual Property Organization for its smart glasses.

    Uncovered by Patently Apple, the patent reveals the potential design of Samsung’s smart glasses alongside its charging case.

    Details of Samsung's Smart Glasses

    The design of the glasses closely resembles regular spectacles, but the patent discloses specific technical aspects. The lenses are visibly in their default position, while the left rim features magnetic connection points enabling the glasses to charge when placed on their cover. The batteries, as illustrated in FIG.6, are housed within each temple tip.

    Focus on Physical Design

    Interestingly, the patent does not reference cameras or sensors, common components in XR devices. It is possible that this particular patent concentrates solely on the physical structure. Samsung might separately file subsequent patents addressing the more intricate technical elements of the invention.

    Internal Configuration and Charging Case Design

    Moreover, internal configurations of the wearable device are depicted in image FIG. 4B within the patent, while images FIG. 7B and 7C showcase the design of the charging case.

    While the patent offers some insights, it remains uncertain whether Samsung will proceed to launch this product. Many patented concepts do not materialize into actual products. Further leaks or official announcements from Samsung are likely needed to gain a clearer understanding of their intentions.

    Features of Last Year's Mijia Smart Audio Glasses

    The earlier Mijia smart audio glass incorporated "open sound field technology," delivering a 360-degree surround sound experience. Equipped with a dual-mic AI call noise reduction feature, it also provided intelligent call enhancement functionalities. Moreover, it supported dual device connectivity and featured a 30mm touchpad on each side for intuitive gesture controls. The product boasted an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, ensuring protection against environmental elements and water splashes.

    Battery Performance and Beyond

    The battery life of the previous smart glass model allowed up to a week on standby, over 22 hours of regular usage, and more than 10 hours of continuous music playback or 7 hours of calling. As the successor to this popular product gears up for launch in a mere four days, consumers can anticipate even more impressive power efficiency improvements.
