It’s pretty widely known that Samsung is preparing to launch a pair of smart glasses later this year and, speaking at MWC, the company confirmed the tiniest details about its first smart glasses.
Speaking to CNBC, Samsung’s Jay Kim confirmed a couple of key details about its first pair of smart glasses, including:
- A camera at “your eye level”
- Connects to your smartphone
- AI will see “where you’re looking at”
And that’s about it.
The interview also reaffirmed that Samsung is targeting a 2026 release – also mentioned by Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon at the trade show – but stopped short of confirming whether or not these glasses will have a display. Google has shown repeatedly that the display tech is nearly ready, but Samsung reportedly has smart glasses in the works both with and without a display.
Kim declined to say whether the glasses will have a built-in display when asked but said that Samsung has other products like the smartwatch or phone if a user needs a display.
