It’s actually happening! You can get Samsung smart glasses sooner than you think, as Apple struggles to catch up

Overview

  • The display-less glasses are designed without screens but include a camera, microphones and speakers to enable AI voice assistance and video capture.
  • Recent reports push the debut of the more affordable frames to the end of 2026, slipping from earlier expectations of a 2025 launch.
  • Separately, Samsung and Google are advancing a higher-end AR headset and glasses line featuring micro-LED displays under internal projects Moohan and Haean.
  • Key details such as the operating system, hardware specifications and pricing remain unconfirmed, with some sources suggesting Samsung’s own software rather than Android XR.
  • Samsung’s dual approach aims to challenge Meta’s Ray-Ban AI Glasses and Apple’s forthcoming smart eyewear across both mainstream and premium segments.
