A few days ago, Samsung's augmented reality glasses still seemed to announce that they would be featured in the next Galaxy Unpacked to accompany the Galaxy S25. Now they are collected some data and specifications to better outline the concept of these glasses which would be another of the new devices in the Samsung catalog.
The Korean manufacturer is driven by innovation and its current plan is to launch a new product every year to expand its catalog. This year it was the Galaxy Ring that arrived in Europe as a new health accessory and thus entered a segment in which Oura had practically no competition.
If this year was dedicated to health, next year it seems to be to offer a new accessory that extends the capabilities of cell phones. Similar to Meta's AR glasses with Ray-Ban, Samsung's proposal will become a prototype that would be seen in Galaxy Unpacked which would take place next month.
Without a surprising and very competitive accessory, Samsung would struggle, but it seems that things are already clear and Multiple reports indicate what the new glasses would look like by AR by Samsung.
There are several important points according to Gizmochina and one of them would be light weight to stay about 50 grams and they will not remain just high-style glasses, but will include important experiences for gesture recognition, easy recognition and another important detail, payment integration.

He the new Samsung accessory would be on par with Meta's Ray-Bans in the user experience and would even integrate generative artificial intelligence like those of Mark Zuckerberg, capable of recognizing the environment and receiving user requests in a natural conversation.
Details were given on some hardware specifications such as a 155 mAh battery and 12 Mpx camera. The key partners of these glasses, although at the hardware and software level, are Google and Qualcomm, since it collaborates with them for augmented reality glasses.
There is one point that will directly differentiate them from Meta glasses: there will be no screen. The reason for this change is to make them lighter glasses with a more compact form factor. And this is important because in the end these are accessories, like the ring, which must be comfortable and not uncomfortable each time they are worn.
Google will take over AI with Gemini for various payment functions, QR code, gesture and face recognition. So this could be compared to Meta's own functions which include, as mentioned, AI functions to receive queries about the environment.
There is a detail unknown at the momentand that's the price. The Galaxy Ring remained at 449 dollars for a luxury accessory, and the Meta Ray-Ban glasses range between 359 and 409 dollars. Samsung plans to showcase the prototype at the launch of the Galaxy S25, expected in the middle of next month.
