The big names in technology all try to win on the connected glasses market. Samsung would notably prepare a pair of smart binocles that could be released next year.
Meta, Google, Snap or Apple, no brand seems immune to the fever of connected glasses. To this long list, it will soon be possible to add Samsung which secretly prepares a competitor to the Ray-Ban models which currently dominate the market.
After SamMobilewhich relays information from the Korean site Fledthe manufacturer would prepare to enter the dance in 2026, but without the help of Google.
The funest drop -down camera
Thought for athletes that for creative minds, the Insta360 X5 is the 360 ° reference camera in 2025. Its price falls of 169 euros on Aliexpress thanks to the BSFR100 code.
No Android on the program
Until then, the manufacturer had especially illustrated itself in this area with the promises of its “Moohan project” designed in partnership with the research giant. This other initiative would this time be carried out alone and would approach what Meta has managed to do with Ray-Ban by offering a pair of connected glasses that aims to replace your smartphone.
Expected from here to the end of 2026 according to these first rumors, the samsung binocles would be equipped with a photo/video capture module, a microphone and, of course, an AI assistant at AI capable of answering (ideally) to all your questions. All these beautiful people would not be said not propelled by any version of Android, Samsung preferring to walk alone with a home operating system so as not to be dependent on Google.
The idea would be to climb to the first place of connected glasses manufacturers without being dependent on Google, which also plans to launch a similar device in the coming months. In the same way that the Korean manufacturer competitions Pixel phones on one side while continuing its collaboration with Google on the other.
Watch out for competition
This is not the first time that Samsung connected glasses have been talked about. A few months ago already, rumors around devices full of augmented reality appeared on the web to respond to the marketing of Apple’s pro vision. However, it seems that this new project is less ambitious and does not have a screen in the glasses.
If the Korean manufacturer takes another year before leaving simple glasses with camera and conversational IA agent, he will have to face fierce competition, that said, since Meta’s “Orion” project is announced more or less in the same waters, but with much higher technical ambitions.
