The Samsung XR glasses are reminiscent of the Ray-Ban Meta but have more features

Yes, he also expressed Samsung her desire to join the new struggle with the development of XR glasses and in its new beginning it will have Google as a support by its side. This wearable won’t arrive until the second half of 2025 at the earliest.

China-sourced research from Wellsen XR reveals some new details about Samsung’s upcoming XR glasses. The report describes that Samsung is planning an initial production run of these smart glasses that will include 500,000 units and that they will be released in the third quarter of 2025. This is later than expected, but in line with what Samsung reported in October.

The glasses will apparently be powered by Qualcomm’s AR1 chipsetthe same chip used in the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses – the generation used is not mentioned, but Qualcomm had already released the AR2 in 2022.

This is not the only specification that the two devices share as the report also claims that the Samsung glasses will have a 12MP camera and a 155mAh battery; same as Ray-Ban glasses. In terms of weight, the glasses would weigh 50 grams, beating the Ray-Ban Meta glasses here.

One of the big questions surrounding Samsung’s XR glasses was whether or not they would have a display, and it looks like that won’t be the case based on this report. Matching the weight and battery size of the Ray-Ban Meta with the addition of a display would be… impressive, to say the least.

The Gemini service will handle AI tasks alongside support for “payment”, QR code recognition, “gesture recognition” and “human recognition functions”. It’s not entirely clear what all these features will do, but it suggests a product that’s a little more capable than what Meta offers.

We’ll have quite a while to wait until these new glasses make their debut, but it looks like Samsung wanted us to already form an opinion on this product long before its release, just like it did with the Galaxy Ring earlier this year.
