Samsung 'Galaxy Glasses' powered by Android XR are reportedly on track to be unveiled this month

AI glasses powered by Google software and Samsung hardware have flown under the radar in 2025, but the Meta Ray-Bans competitor could be announced September 29.

Google I/O (screenshot by Jason Hiner) Samsung's AI glasses running Android XR would compete with the Meta Ray-Bans. Like the Meta Ray-Bans, Samsung's glasses will be audio-only and will be focused on features such as providing faster and more convenient access to an AI assistant, cameras, and audio for calls, music, and podcasts, Also, based on the same reports out of Korea from Newsworks, ETNews and NewsPim, the Samsung glasses will include navigation, real-time translation, and situational awareness. However, Sag doesn't think there's been enough time for Samsung to have integrated the next-gen Snapdragon AR1+ Gen 1 chip for smart glasses that was released this spring and promises a 20% smaller footprint, lower power consumption, better image quality in photos and videos, on-device language models, and better privacy by sending fewer AI queries to the cloud.
