Samsung App Update Points to ‘Galaxy Glasses’ as Leaks Outline 2026 Display-Less Model

The reference signals an AI-first Android XR wearable likely to debut this year.

Overview

  • Samsung’s Nearby Device Scanning app, whose release notes Tuesday mentioned support for “Glasses” and Quick Pair, offers the clearest sign yet of the name and pairing features.
  • Leaked images published Monday by Android Headlines with OnLeaks renders show a slim, Ray-Ban-style frame for the Jinju model that skips a built-in display.
  • Reported specs include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon AR1, a 12MP Sony IMX681 camera, a 155mAh battery, Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth 5.3, directional speakers, photochromic lenses, and an estimated weight near 50 grams.
  • The glasses are expected to run Google’s Android XR with Gemini for hands-free tasks like translation, navigation, and contextual queries, giving everyday users a voice-first assistant they can wear.
  • Pricing is rumored at $379–$499 for Jinju, with a micro‑LED Haean variant targeted for 2027 at $600–$900, and a tease is speculated for Google I/O or July’s Unpacked rather than an immediate launch.
