Samsung Galaxy Glasses have reportedly leaked for the first time, offering an early look at what could become Samsung’s first mainstream smart glasses product. The images suggest a design heavily influenced by Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses, while new details also point to price, hardware, and launch timing.
Leaked images show Samsung taking a familiar smart glasses approach
According to The Verge, citing Android Headlines, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Glasses are code-named “Jinju” and look strikingly similar to Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses. The leaked design points to a lightweight wearable focused more on audio, camera use, and AI features than on a built-in display.
The report says the first model could ship without any onboard display at all. Instead, Samsung is expected to use a Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 processor, a 12-megapixel Sony IMX681 camera, a 155mAh battery, and bone conduction speakers.
Samsung may save micro-LED glasses for a more premium model
The first-generation glasses are reportedly expected to cost between $379 and $499, putting them in direct competition with Meta’s display-free smart glasses. A more advanced pair, code-named “Haean,” is said to be in development for 2027 and may include a micro-LED display, with a higher projected price between $600 and $900.
That two-tier strategy would give Samsung a way to enter the smart glasses market quickly while keeping a more ambitious XR product in reserve for later. It also mirrors the wider industry trend of separating lightweight AI eyewear from more immersive display-based devices.
Why the Galaxy Glasses leak matters
Samsung has already confirmed broader Android XR ambitions through its headset work with Google, so smart glasses have long looked like a logical next step. If these leaks are accurate, the company may be preparing to challenge Meta not with a futuristic display-first device, but with a more practical wearable that can ship sooner and reach a wider audience.
The timing is also notable. The glasses could be announced at Google I/O next month or at a later Samsung Unpacked event this year, which would make them one of the most closely watched Android XR products of 2026.
