Samsung reportedly developing display-less AI smartglasses, launch pushed to late 2026

Samsung has been making headlines for its plans to expand its wearable segment with the upcoming XR headset. According to the most recent reports, the South Korean tech giant is planning to enter a new category of smartglasses. This comes after a SEDaily report claimed that the company is developing a display-free wearable device powered by multimodal AI, similar to Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses.

According to the report, unlike Samsung’s Project Haean, which is said to have an augmented reality display and is being developed in collaboration with Google, this unnamed model will reportedly focus on AI-driven interactions rather than visual interfaces. It could include speakers, a camera, and a microphone for hands-free photography, video recording, and voice-activated access to AI assistants.

As per the report, Samsung had originally planned to launch the device in 2025, possibly alongside the Project Moohan XR headset. However, the launch has been reportedly postponed until late 2026. The report, further citing sources, claims that the strong market response to Meta’s wearable has encouraged Samsung to pursue its own AI-first strategy.

It should be noted that details about the software, design, and pricing remain unknown. However, the report claims that the device will rely heavily on contextual AI, with capabilities such as object recognition, understanding of the surroundings, and providing real-time information without the distraction of a screen. If the report is accurate, we could soon see a potential Meta Ray Ban glasses rival, which was recently introduced in India for Rs 29,900.

Note that Samsung has not confirmed the device’s development, so we may have to wait for official details for the time being.
