Samsung smart glasses are coming in 2026. Leaked details shared by GalaxyClub.nl reveal the SM-O200P model, a device focused on everyday wearability rather than heavy AR experiences. The specs paint a picture of lightweight eyewear that blends practical features with Galaxy ecosystem integration, positioning Samsung to compete directly with Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses.
The leaked Samsung smart glasses reportedly weigh around 50 grams and could feature transition lenses that darken outdoors and stay clear indoors. This would make them functional as regular eyewear, avoiding the “I’m wearing tech on my face” look that plagued earlier attempts. Rumors suggest a 12MP Sony IMX681 camera for photo and video capture, QR code scanning, and gesture recognition without adding bulk.
Connectivity is expected to include Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for pairing with Galaxy phones, but no independent cellular data. The glasses may run a dedicated AR OS with possible Gemini AI integration for voice control, notifications, and smart messaging. Think hands-free calls, music playback, and ambient information delivered through the lenses without full AR displays.
Positioned Between Smart Glasses and AR Headsets
Samsung smart glasses fill the gap between basic smart eyewear and the company’s heavier Galaxy XR headsets launching in 2027. The SM-O200P targets users who want practical AI features like live translations, navigation overlays, and quick information access. Notably, you won’t need to strap on a full headset.
The leaked specs suggest Samsung learned from Google’s Glass mistakes by prioritizing style and subtlety over flashy tech demos. Features like AI-powered translations and navigation hints integrate with the Galaxy ecosystem. The glasses work as an extension of your phone rather than a standalone device trying to replace it.
Pricing is rumored around $379 and up, potentially matching Meta Ray-Ban Stories while offering tighter integration with Samsung devices. The 2026 launch puts Samsung in position to capture users interested in smart wearables but turned off by clunky designs or limited functionality. Whether Samsung smart glasses succeed depends on execution. Either way, the leaked details suggest a thoughtful approach to a market Meta currently dominates.
