Samsung Signals AI Glasses and Clip-On Buds in Earnings Call

The remarks signal a push into wearable AI under looming memory supply pressure.

Overview

Samsung, in Friday's earnings call, said it plans to deliver multimodal AI through new glasses and hinted at a broader Galaxy Buds lineup.
Reports point to Galaxy Glasses running Android XR, Google's platform for head-worn devices, with onboard speakers, mics, and a 12MP camera powered by Gemini for voice-led tasks.
Leaked guidance suggests an audio-first pair could arrive in 2026 with a display model targeted for 2027, positioning Samsung against Meta's smart glasses.
Separate reports describe Galaxy Buds Able as clip-on earbuds that use bone conduction to send sound through the cheekbone instead of blocking the ear canal.
Samsung warned memory supply could tighten further in 2027, which may raise phone prices and slow sales, and it plans to lean on high-end smartphones as it expects laptop and tablet shipments to fall.
