Android Central • • technology
Key Points:
- Samsung is developing two models of Galaxy Glasses: Jinju, an entry-level version without a display focusing on audio, cameras, and AI, expected to launch in late 2026; and Haean, a premium model with a micro-LED AR display for notifications, anticipated in 2027.
- The Jinju model will weigh about 50 grams, feature a 12MP Sony IMX681 camera with autofocus, and is priced between $379 and $499, targeting everyday users who want hands-free AI assistance without bulky AR visuals.
- The Haean model will include a micro-LED display for real augmented reality overlays in the user's line of sight, likely costing between $600 and $900, catering to users seeking advanced AR functionality.
- Both models are expected to have a 245mAh battery, offering approximately 6 to 8 hours of intermittent use, comparable to Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses.
- Samsung’s addition of autofocus cameras in the glasses represents a significant improvement over fixed-focus lenses, enabling clearer viewing of small or distant objects.
