"Samsung has long been rumoured to be developing several smart wearable devices of various form factors. During a recent earnings call, a company official announced the South Korean tech conglomerate's plans to launch the next-generation augmented reality (AR) glasses in 2026. While Samsung has yet to reveal exactly what its AR glasses will offer, they are confirmed to support multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. This development builds upon Samsung's previously announced partnership with global eyewear brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker for its AI glasses."
"Last year, the company was reported to have plans to launch a new pair of smart glasses. The device was codenamed "Haen", named after a city in South Korea, Samsung's home turf. It was said to have a "thin and light" design, aiding high utilisation in daily life and compatibility with various face shapes. At the time, it was suggested that the smart glasses would not feature a display and could be indistinguishable from normal glasses or sunglasses, similar to the Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses."
"Per reports, the Samsung AR glasses are expected to be powered by Android XR OS, a new operating system designed for extended reality (XR) devices, like the Galaxy XR headset. They are also rumoured to be equipped with cameras and sensors for motion tracking. The tech giant has already emphasised how multimodal AI will "change" interaction with new form factors like XR devices."
Samsung will launch next-generation augmented reality glasses in 2026 that support multimodal artificial intelligence for rich, immersive experiences across form factors. The glasses were reportedly codenamed "Haen" and described as thin and light to encourage daily use and fit various face shapes. The device may omit a visible display and be visually similar to conventional glasses or sunglasses while offering functions like video recording, music playback, calls, and social sharing. The glasses are expected to run Android XR OS and include cameras and motion-tracking sensors. Partnerships with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker are included in device plans.
