Samsung XR glasses specs revealed in a new leak
Samsung’s new XR glasses are expected to launch in the second half of 2025. These glasses are being made in partnership with Google. A new report reveals that the glasses will share some features with the popular Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses but will not have a display.
Research coming out of China from Wellsen XR reveals a few new details regarding Samsung’s upcoming XR glasses. The report, highlighted by @Jukanlosreve and Maeil Business Newspaper, reveals that Samsung is planning an initial production run of these smart glasses that would include 500,000 units, and that they’d be released in Q3 2025. That’s later than expected, but in line with what Samsung teased in October.
That’s not the only spec the two devices share, as the report also claims Samsung’s glasses will have a 12MP camera and a 155 mAh battery, the same (give or take 1 mAh) as Ray-Ban’s glasses. In terms of weight, the glasses would weigh 50g, ever-so-slightly more than Ray-Ban Meta.
According to the information, the upcoming XR glasses of Samsung will be powered by Qualcomm’s AR1 chipset, the same used in Ray-Ban Meta glasses. While details on the specific AR1 version remain unclear, the use of Qualcomm’s chip suggests a focus on lightweight, efficient computing.
Even without a display, the Samsung XR glasses will still include some smart features. These include AI functions for making payments, scanning QR codes, recognizing gestures, and even identifying people. Although the full details aren’t clear, it seems the glasses will offer more capabilities than the Ray-Ban Meta glasses. The Samsung XR glasses are expected to be released in late 2025, but Samsung might tease them off earlier.
