Galaxy maker Samsung recently entered the mixed reality market with its Galaxy XR headset and is reportedly planning to revolutionise the market with its smart glasses, featuring innovative transition lenses that automatically darken in sunlight, a built-in camera, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity.

The upcoming Galaxy smart glasses are slated for launch in 2026, and thanks to a wide range of top-notch features, they represent Samsung's commitment to competing with heavyweights in the wearable AI technology.

According to GalaxyClub, a renowned source that surfaces Galaxy-related teasers, this new product line shows Samsung's long-term vision for integrating AI into everyday wearables.

Samsung Smart Glasses' two variants

Samsung is reportedly developing two models of its yet-to-come Samsung Smart Glasses, including a simple AI-driven version for 2026, and a more advanced augmented reality (AR) variant set for 2027.

Word has it that Smart Glasses' 2026 model would directly compete with Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses, as it focuses on low-profile design and AI assistance rather than bulky displays.

Packed with features like transition lenses and a built-in camera, these glasses are meant for all-day use, making them suitable for a variety of users with varying choices.

Samsung’s push for Google Gemini AI integration across its devices suggests that users will benefit from hands-free access to information and communication.

While details on pricing and an official launch date of these Smart Glasses are under wraps, the display-less model is expected to debut in 2026, followed by the full AR version in 2027.

As prototypes are progressing towards manufacturing, details are likely to emerge ahead of launch, positioning these smart glasses as one of Samsung's most significant launches in the coming years.
