Samsung appears ready to take its wearable ambitions beyond headsets, with fresh reports from South Korea pointing to its first AI-powered smart glasses arriving in late 2026.
While the company already unveiled its Project Moohan XR headset, these upcoming glasses aim for a simpler, mass-market approach-think Ray-Ban Meta vibes but with Samsung’s tech muscle.
According to leaks, the glasses will feature a built-in microphone, speakers, and camera, paired with an AI assistant to handle calls, messages, media controls, and content capture, all hands-free. Samsung reportedly believes AI glasses could become the natural successor to smartphones, making them the next big consumer electronics battleground.
Insiders say the project is linked to earlier codenames-Project Haean and Project Jinju-hinting that Samsung has been developing multiple smart eyewear concepts alongside Moohan. The company’s partnership with Google on Android XR and potential integration of Gemini AI could supercharge these glasses with context-aware smarts, allowing users to interact with their digital world in more natural ways.
While specifics like battery life, camera quality, and AI feature sets remain under wraps, industry watchers expect Samsung to reveal more performance details as the launch date draws closer. If executed well, this move could signal the start of an AI eyewear race, with Samsung placing itself firmly in the lead pack.
