Images and specs of Samsung\u2019s upcoming smart glasses may have already leaked<\/a>, however a new report suggests we may get an eye-full at the company\u2019s Galaxy Unpacked product event in July.<\/p>\n

At the time of this writing, Samsung hasn\u2019t confirmed when its next Unpacked event will be, however according to Seoul\u00a0Economic Daily<\/a>, the South Korean tech giant is reportedly getting ready to hold its its next big product launch event in London on July 22nd.<\/p>\n

There, we can expect to see a first look at the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Flip8 next-gen foldables, Galaxy Watch9 series, as well as its first smart glasses, which the company confirmed will arrive sometime this year.<\/p>\n

Citing industry sources, Samsung is reportedly working with South Korea-based eyewear brand Gentle Monster \u201cto enhance design and practical competitiveness\u201d of the device, which is set to run Google\u2019s Android XR operating system.<\/p>\n

At Google\u2019s I\/O developer conference in May, Google announced it was partnering with Gentle Monster in addition to separate efforts with Warby Parker<\/a>, Gucci parent company\u00a0Kering<\/a>, and Samsung to produce the first slate of Android XR smart glasses, which are expected to compete with Ray-Ban Meta.<\/p>\n

Late last year however, Samsung announced it was working with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker\u00a0<\/a>on styling, making it less clear what devices we\u2019ll see and which company is principally behind them.<\/p>\n

Like Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta smart glasses, those initial units are expected to be audio-only, i.e. not include a display of any kind, but instead include microphones, camera, speakers, and onboard AI.<\/p>\n

The report notes Samsung\u2019s smart glasses, which some have dubbed \u2018Galaxy Glasses\u2019, are expected to launch in Q3 of this year.<\/p>\n

Notably, they will be positioned \u201cnot as a mere wearable device but as a core \u2018edge device\u2019 that completes its AI ecosystem, entering into full-scale competition with global companies such as Meta of the U.S. and Xiaomi of China,\u201d the report maintains.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Samsung is expected to connect its smart glasses with its broader device ecosystem, including smartphones and SmartThings home appliances, the report says.<\/p>\n

This follows a supposed leak of images and specs<\/a> of Samsung\u2019s first smart glasses, which is reportedly including specs very similar to the latest Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2).<\/p>\n

The company is also reportedly working on more advanced units<\/a>, as per code mined from the most recent\u00a0One UI 9 firmware, which revealed a new and wholly distinct model number that some have speculated could be a pair of smart glasses with built-in display.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Images and specs of Samsung\u2019s upcoming smart glasses may have already leaked, however a new report suggests we…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":913609,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3162],"tags":[53,16,15,3243,3244],"class_list":{"0":"post-955327","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-technology","9":"tag-uk","10":"tag-united-kingdom","11":"tag-virtual-reality","12":"tag-vr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116562981473699673","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/955327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=955327"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/955327\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/913609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=955327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=955327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=955327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
