Samsung maybe working on its first smart glasses that follow the Meta Ray-Ban Stories' footsteps. The software stack, however, will rely on Google's Gemini.

Many of these specs are very familiar as they're also in the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. Those currently use an AR1 chip, though Qualcomm has released an AR2 chipset. Samsung's device appears slightly heavier than the Ray-Ban glasses, but the camera and battery are more or less matching.

There’s no precise word on how much they’ll cost when they launch, but Xiaomi is known for producing more affordable tech than its better-known rivals, so we expect its smart specs to start at less than Meta Ray-Ban’s $299 / £299 / AU$449 starting price.

Ray-Ban Meta Glasses use built-in cameras, microphones, and speakers for the ultimate hands-free experience when taking photos, calling, and more.

With their retro design, practical AI capabilities, and hands-free operation, Ray-Ban Metas are the kind of glasses Q would have given to James Bond. While there are limitations, overall, Ray-Ban Meta glasses are an “I didn’t know I always needed this” gadget that makes many things I do anyway,

A new report suggests that Samsung's AI-powered XR smart glasses will launch by the third quarter of next year. The smart glasses will feature a 155mAh battery, a 12MP camera, and Qualcomm's AR1 chipset, per the report. Samsung could reveal some details about these XR smart glasses during the Galaxy S25 launch in January 2025.

The countdown has begun for Rokid Jungle 2024, an event anticipated to be one of the most influential gatherings in the augmented reality (AR) landscape.

Leaks suggest that Samsung is bringing a new chapter in wearables with its XR glasses, blending AI tech and a minimalist design approach.
