Samsung Smart Glasses Leak Hints At Android XR Push
Images show a lower-cost wearable tied to Android XR, as Samsung lines up for a broader move into AI-driven eyewear.
Leaked images of Samsung’s first smart glasses point to a sub-$500 wearable, marking the company’s clearest step yet into extended reality hardware.
The device, codenamed Jinju, is expected to run Android XR with tight integration of Google Gemini. It reportedly skips a display altogether. That puts it closer to audio-led devices like Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses than full mixed-reality gear.
Specs are still fluid, but leaks point to a 12MP camera, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon AR1 chip, and bone-conduction audio. Pricing is tipped between $380 and $500.
A second model, Haean, is already in development for 2027. That version is expected to add a micro-LED display and land at a higher price bracket.

A July Unpacked reveal is possible, though a full launch alongside devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 8 or Galaxy Watch 9 looks unlikely.
Samsung is moving in step with rivals chasing lighter, AI-first wearables. The form factor is still unsettled, though the company’s direction is clear.
