- Samsung is reportedly developing affordable smart glasses inspired by Ray-Ban Meta.
- The glasses may include a camera, speakers, and a microphone, but no display.
- Set for a late 2026 debut, these smart glasses are separate from Samsung’s XR headset plans.
Smart glasses remain a particularly niche genre of wearable technology, even in mid-2025, but they are steadily growing in popularity. While the Ray-Ban Meta continues to lead the charge and has proven that there is a willing market, few companies have stepped up to challenge it. However, based on a new report from Korea, Samsung may be among the first big names to heed the call.
A report by Seoul Economic Daily claims that Samsung is developing its own pair of smart eyewear inspired by Meta’s product. The product may also include integrated speakers, microphones, and a camera. Notably, the Ray-Ban Meta utilizes these features to great effect, from its live translation and Meta AI assistant features to its media player smarts. We imagine Samsung’s product could do much of the same, including the ability to snag short-form videos, act on voice commands, and replace dedicated earbuds in a pinch.
