Samsung is no stranger to wearables: it has been one of the dominant players in smartwatches and it even dabbled in VR before with the Gear VR in 2014 – the last time people were excited about headsets. Since then, the company has gone a little quiet, but it’s already been confirmed that Samsung will be back with a head-mounted wearable in 2025.

A new report suggests that Samsung's AI-powered XR smart glasses will launch by the third quarter of next year. The smart glasses will feature a 155mAh battery, a 12MP camera, and Qualcomm's AR1 chipset, per the report. Samsung could reveal some details about these XR smart glasses during the Galaxy S25 launch in January 2025.

Samsung maybe working on its first smart glasses that follow the Meta Ray-Ban Stories' footsteps. The software stack, however, will rely on Google's Gemini.

A new report has revealed the alleged specifications and launch timeline for Samsung's first XR smart glasses.

The countdown has begun for Rokid Jungle 2024, an event anticipated to be one of the most influential gatherings in the augmented reality (AR) landscape.

Many of these specs are very familiar as they're also in the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. Those currently use an AR1 chip, though Qualcomm has released an AR2 chipset. Samsung's device appears slightly heavier than the Ray-Ban glasses, but the camera and battery are more or less matching.

Samsung working on an augmented reality (AR)//Extended Reality device has been in the news for quite some time. However, till now it was not clear what could be the exact device or when it would come. Finally, some reports have highlighted that the company will come up with similar Ray-Ban Meta sunglasses.

Ray-Ban Meta Glasses use built-in cameras, microphones, and speakers for the ultimate hands-free experience when taking photos, calling, and more.
