Samsung's much-anticipated entry in the rapidly populating AR space is finally taking shape in the form of Galaxy Glasses. And now, we have just received some of the first renders of the new augmented reality device, which appears to be borrowing a lot of design cues from Meta's Ray-Bans and Google's Gemini Glasses.

Galaxy Glasses will be Samsung's second Android XR device, following the launch of the Galaxy XR headset last year

OnLeaks and Android Headlines have now published some of the very first renders of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Glasses, which will leverage the Android XR platform and Gemini AI.

As per the details, this particular variant, which corresponds to the internal codename Jinju and stands unmasked via the latest renders, will not sport an in-built micro-LED, although Samsung is working on another variant that will, and bears the internal codename Haean. This largely echoes a previous leak that came out in November 2025.

Samsung will likely debut the display-less Galaxy Glasses this year, priced at between $379 and $499. The variant with a micro-LED will likely debut in 2027, replete with a price tag of between $600 and $900.

Do note that Samsung announced late last year that it was working with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster on a number of aesthetically pleasing Galaxy Glasses frames.

As far as the upcoming device's specs are concerned, it will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon AR1 processor and sport a 155mAh battery. The 2026-launching Samsung Galaxy Glasses will also sport photochromic transition lenses, a 12MP Sony IMX681 camera, directional speakers with possible bone-conducting ability, and weigh just 50g. The glasses will also bring support for WiFi and Bluetooth 5.3.

With Gemini AI's abilities at hand, Samsung Galaxy Glasses will be able to translate signs, take photos, get weather reports, and directions from Google Maps, all via voice commands.
