Samsung’s much-talked-about augmented reality (AR) product Galaxy Glasses finally has a clearer outline. The latest exposure of early renderings shows that this device clearly draws on the design language of Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses and Google Gemini Glasses in appearance, focusing on the form of thin and light glasses that can be worn daily.
According to content released by well-known tipster OnLeaks and Android Headlines, the Galaxy Glasses currently exposed are a version code-named "Jinju", which will be based on the Android XR platform and deeply integrate Gemini AI capabilities. From the appearance, these glasses adopt a design similar to ordinary sunglasses, with the Samsung logo on the temples and integrated cameras on each side.
According to reports, the "Jinju" version will not have a built-in micro-LED display, and its function positioning will be closer to that of smart assistants and body-worn shooting devices. At the same time, Samsung is also developing another version with a built-in micro-LED display, internally codenamed "Haean". The product strategies of the two are basically consistent with previous related revelations in November 2025.
In terms of launch pace and pricing, it is reported that Galaxy Glasses without a display are expected to be released first in 2026, with a price range of roughly US$379 to US$499. The high-end version equipped with micro-LED is not expected to appear until 2027, and the price may be between $600 and $900, further targeting high-end AR scenarios.
It is worth mentioning that Samsung publicly stated at the end of last year that it was working with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster to create a variety of more designed frames for Galaxy Glasses to enhance the product’s appeal in fashion and daily wear.
In terms of configuration, this Galaxy Glasses, which will be launched in 2026, will be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 processor, built-in 155mAh battery, and the weight of the whole machine will be controlled at about 50 grams. The glasses will be equipped with photochromic lenses that automatically change light transmission between indoor and outdoor environments, a 12-megapixel Sony IMX681 camera, directional speakers, and may support bone conduction to strike a balance between privacy and environmental awareness. For connection, it supports WiFi and Bluetooth 5.3 for data and audio interaction with mobile phones and other terminals.
In terms of functional experience, with the voice interaction capabilities of Gemini AI, Galaxy Glasses is expected to realize real-time translation of street signs or logos, photo recording, weather query, and obtain navigation through Google Maps and other practical functions. Users can complete main operations through voice commands, minimizing dependence on the mobile phone screen.
Judging from the current news, Samsung Galaxy Glasses will become Samsung’s second major product on the Android XR platform after the Galaxy XR headset. A lightweight, display-less version focused on AI assistants and photography is paving the way first, and then a high-end model with a micro-LED display will be launched in 2027. Samsung is trying to build its own complete product echelon in the rapidly heating smart glasses and XR markets.
