Here's every style of Samsung's Android XR glasses [Gallery]
Key Points:
- Samsung is set to launch its first Android XR glasses, featuring a lightweight design starting at 41g, which is lighter than comparable Ray-Ban Meta glasses with cameras.
- The glasses will be powered by the Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 chip, with 2GB RAM, 64GB storage, a 12MP camera capable of 3K video at 30fps, two speakers, four microphones, and a battery life of 9 hours (extendable to 72 hours with the case).
- Compatibility includes basic functions across Android phones and iPhones, but Galaxy-specific features require One UI 9 (Android 17) and Wear OS 7 on Galaxy Watch.
- Samsung is collaborating with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker to offer multiple frame styles and color options, with Gentle Monster providing prescription lens options; a release date is rumored for November 2026, though pricing remains unconfirmed.
- The glasses aim to compete with existing XR devices, matching or exceeding features like battery life and camera quality, with a potential broader launch of color display models expected by late 2027.
