C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is reportedly developing affordable smart glasses inspired by Ray-Ban Meta. The glasses may include a camera, speakers, and a microphone, but no display. Set for a late 2026 debut, these smart glasses are separate from Samsung’s XR headset plans. Smart glasses remain a particularly niche genre of wearable technology, even in mid-2025, but they are steadily growing in popularity.
