Samsung appears to be on the verge of entering the smart glasses market–opting for a design that functions discreetly in everyday life. New leaks provide a more concrete impression of how the device might look and be positioned. However, while clear visual inspirations are emerging, many questions about technology and features remain unanswered.
For months, there has been talk of a smart glass from Samsung. Now, “Androidheadlines” provides more specific hints and shows images that are reportedly derived from photos of a test device. If the images are accurate, Samsung is clearly taking visual cues from Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses.
Design Appears Practical for Everyday Use
Internally, the first glasses are said to be called “Jinju.” In the released images, they appear discreet and slim. According to the report, there are hardly any noticeable differences from the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses or the upcoming Google Gemini Glasses. The technical foundation is reportedly Android XR, likely with a connection to Google’s AI system Gemini.

Display Likely Later
An integrated screen is apparently not planned for the first model. This would initially set Samsung apart from the Meta Ray-Ban display. More features might follow with a subsequent version. This second model is said to be codenamed “Haean” and is already in development. The report mentions a variant with a Micro-LED display for 2027, which could offer similar capabilities to Meta’s Ray-Ban display glasses. The potential price range mentioned is $600 to $900, which is approximately 512 to 770 euros.
For the first generation, the leak mentions a Snapdragon AR1 chip. Additionally, a 12-megapixel camera is mentioned. Sound is expected to be transmitted through bone conduction technology speakers. However, Samsung might still replace or improve individual components before the market launch.
The first model could be priced between $380 and $500, which would be about 325 to 427 euros. However, the price might be higher due to rising costs for memory and other components.

Outlook at the Unpacked Event
An exact date for a possible unveiling of the Samsung Smart Glasses is still missing. Samsung is hosting a major Unpacked event in July 2026, where the glasses might be showcased. However, an immediate sale alongside devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is unlikely. Samsung is more likely to provide an outlook first and follow up with the market launch later.
