It's going to be a new product, it's going to be a new experiences. But what I really expect to come out of this partnership, I want everyone that has a phone to go buy companion glasses to go along with it.
Considering Qualcomm's involvement with the most capable smart glasses on the market, such as the Meta Ray-Bans and Xreal Air 2 Ultra, and Samsung and Google's experience building Android smartphones and platforms, combining the two experiences feels like the most logical and safe path forward.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 chip was designed specifically for mixed reality experiences in smaller form factors such as glasses. At Mobile World Congress earlier this year, the company showed me a reference design by Goertek -- one that it shares with hardware manufacturers as inspiration when building their own wearables.
