TL;DR
- Renders of Samsung’s “Jinju” smart glasses show a display‑less design similar to Meta Ray‑Ban glasses.
- The glasses will likely run on Android XR with Gemini AI, and could feature a Snapdragon AR1 chip, a 12 MP camera, and weigh approximately 50 g.
- Samsung may unveil the glasses at its July Unpacked event alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide.
Overview
Samsung is reportedly developing up to three Android XR‑based smart glasses. These would join the existing Galaxy XR line, giving consumers a broader range of post‑phone products. Leaker OnLeaks and AndroidHeadlines have shared renders of Samsung’s smart glasses codenamed “Jinju.” The design closely resembles Meta’s Ray‑Ban glasses, notably lacking a built‑in display.
The report notes that the original “Haean” codename has been reassigned to a different Samsung smart‑glass model featuring a microLED display, expected to launch in 2027. Previously reported model numbers include SM‑0200P and SM‑0200J (codename “Jinju”), as well as SM‑0500 (codename “Haean”).
Software
The upcoming Galaxy Glasses are expected to run on the Android XR platform and include Gemini AI integration. While Samsung could potentially add its own services (e.g., Bixby or other assistants), no official details have been confirmed.
