The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Glasses look nearly identical to Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses in leaked images from Android Headlines. The glasses, which could be announced at Google I/O next month, are code-named “Jinju” and will reportedly cost between $379 and $499, on par with the display-free Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2. They’ll reportedly include a Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 processor, a 12-megapixel Sony IMX681 camera, a 155mAh battery, and bone conduction speakers; however, this pair won’t have a built-in display.
Samsung is reportedly saving a micro-LED display for a more premium pair of glasses, code-named “Haean,” which it plans to launch in 2027. Those will supposedly cost between $600 and $900, which is similar to the newer Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses they’ll be competing with.
If not at Google I/O in May, it’s possible that Samsung’s first pair of glasses could launch at one of the company’s Unpacked events later in the year. Samsung previously announced it was collaborating with Google on a pair of glasses in 2025 and launched its first device with Android XR last year: the Galaxy XR headset. Earlier this year, Samsung also mentioned plans to launch a pair of smart glasses in 2026, but up until now, little was known about their design or features. It’s one of several partnerships Google has lined up for Android XR, including Warby Parker, Gentle Monster, and, most recently, Gucci.
