Samsung has reportedly been working on its XR glasses. As per reports, the company is expected to unveil its much-anticipated XR glasses alongside Samsung Galaxy S25 at its Galaxy Unpacked Event in January. In addition, it can be launched as a prototype at the Unpacked event. Several reports are claiming XR glasses to be manufactured in collaboration with Google. However, the glasses will not be available for immediate purchase to customers.
What We Know So Far About Samsung XR Glasses:
As per reports, the reported XR glasses could weigh around 50g and they are expected to be launched like regular sunglasses in terms of design. Some of the most interesting features that are said to be equipped with the XR glasses are gesture recognition, payment functions, and facial recognition using Artificial Intelligence.
Reports claim that Samsung is planning to produce 5,00,000 units in the first batch. It is reported to be powered by the Qualcomm AR1 chipset and an NXP semiconductor which will work as the auxiliary processing unit. The upcoming XR glasses could also run on the AR1 chipset. The company might offer a 12-megapixel camera with Sony IMX681 CMOS image sensor and 155mAh battery to the XR glasses.
To recall, Qualcomm’s CEO Cristiano Amon mentioned indirectly the XR glasses in September this year. He hinted that the smart glasses would not be like Apple’s Vision Pro, making them easy to carry. The tech giant was supposedly expected to reveal the XR glasses in October 2024. But the date has long gone and there’s no official update about the glasses.
In its October blog post, Samsung teased its plans for 2025 and hinted towards pursuing sales growth centered mainly on flagship mobile experiences, such as Galaxy S25 and foldables. However, there was no mention of XR glasses, but at least we could expect an image prototype of the highly anticipated glasses.
