Technical specifications

The Galaxy AI Smart Glasses will run on Android XR, Google's extended reality platform. Expected hardware specifications include a 12-megapixel camera with autofocus for image capture and AR integration, a Qualcomm AR chipset optimised for augmented reality tasks, and a 155 mAh battery designed to balance portability with daily use requirements.

AI integration?

The smart glasses will incorporate multimodal AI capabilities, including voice, vision, and gesture recognition. This aligns with Samsung's broader AI strategy, which includes development of HBM 4 memory chips for high-performance AI applications.

Samsung's approach reportedly builds on lessons learned from the Galaxy XR headset, which launched in October 2025. The company is using feedback from that device to refine the design and functionality of the AI smart glasses.

By launching the glasses alongside flagship smartphones, Samsung aims to create an integrated ecosystem of devices. The Galaxy AI Smart Glasses represent Samsung's entry into the competitive AR wearables market, positioning the company to compete with existing players like the Meta Ray-Ban in smart eyewear technology.
