"According to Kim, the glasses will be more of a gateway for AI to capture and understand what you see, rather than a completely standalone device, so it can then feed the information to the mobile phone."
""Everybody talks about what the next AI device is, and I know I've been looking at many different types of devices. Glasses, obviously is one of them, and everybody's looking at it," Kim told CNBC. "I think the XR on headset will sort of be around. But not as a sort of mass scale business.""
"Samsung launched the Galaxy XR last year, an extended reality headset featuring spatial audio, 360-degree views of immersive content, and Gemini for AI. Yet the new AI smart glasses that Samsung discussed are another business category entirely, growing quickly because they're smaller and less expensive."
Samsung announced its entry into the smart glasses market with AI-focused eyewear launching in 2026. The glasses feature a built-in eye-level camera and connect to smartphones within the Galaxy ecosystem for processing visual information. Rather than functioning as independent devices, the glasses serve as a gateway for AI to capture and interpret what users see, with processing handled by connected mobile phones. This approach differs from Samsung's existing Galaxy XR headset, which is a separate extended reality device. The smart glasses represent a distinct product category that is growing due to their compact size and lower cost compared to XR headsets.
