Samsung AI glasses to launch this year but lack a key feature
SMRTR summary
A camera perched at eye level will capture your world, but you won't see any digital overlays staring back. Samsung's upcoming AI glasses are taking a decidedly minimalist approach compared to competitors like Meta and Lenovo, opting to skip built-in displays entirely.
Executive Vice President Jay Kim revealed that Samsung's smart glasses will rely on connected smartphones to process all the visual data collected by their eye-level cameras. While Meta's Ray-Ban Display glasses and Lenovo's AI Glasses V1 both feature screens that overlay digital information onto the real world, Samsung is betting users don't need another display when they already carry one in their pocket.
The company plans to launch the glasses sometime this year, though no specific timeline was provided. Leaked specifications suggest the lightweight glasses will pack a Qualcomm AR1 processor, Sony's 12-megapixel camera, and a 155 milliamp hour battery, all weighing just 50 grams.
Google's Gemini AI will power the smart features, building on Samsung's partnership with Google, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker announced last year.
