Samsung to Reveal Smart Glasses, Potentially Competing with Ray-Ban Meta
Samsung is gearing up to unveil an intriguing new device at its annual Unpacked event, though the exact nature of the product remains shrouded in secrecy. Rumors circulating suggest Samsung is working on a pair of smart glasses – similar to Ray-Ban Meta – that might be unveiled alongside Samsung’s next generation of smartphones.
Following a string of hints, including trademark filings with names like "Samsung Glasses" and "Galaxy Glasses", anticipation is brewing for the Korean tech giant’s foray into this market. Minimally imposing, these glasses are projected to weigh around 50g. Sources indicate they’ll offer a variety of features, such as payment functions, gesture recognition and facial recognition, possibly indicating a desirable hands-free experience.
If released, Samsung will be entering an increasingly competitive space, vying with other tech giants aiming to penetrate this space. Meta — the creator of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in collaboration with EssilorLuxottica. Reports suggest Meta’s first foray into smart glasses has proven successful enough to warrant continued partnership with EssilorLuxottica through 2030.
Chinese electronics giant Xiaomi is also rumored to be entering the arena.
Competition isn’t new to Samsung.

**HOST**: Welcome back to Tech Talk! We’re diving into the exciting world of wearables today.
Samsung’s making waves announcing a soon-to-be-released entry into the smart glasses market.
Joining us today is tech analyst, Sarah Jones, to break down what we know so far. Sarah, thanks for being here!
**SARAH JONES**: It’s a pleasure to be here.
**HOST**: So, Samsung’s scheduled to reveal their take on smart glasses this January. What’s the buzz about these?
**SARAH JONES**: Well, the anticipation is high, especially since these glasses are said to be quite unique. Unlike some competitors, they reportedly won’t have a built-in display. [[1](https://9to5google.com/2024/12/02/samsung-smart-glasses-software-reveal-date-report/)]
**HOST**: No display? That’s interesting. How are they meant to function then?
**SARAH JONES**: Apparently, they’re designed to work similarly to Ray-Ban’s Meta smart glasses, likely relying on audio cues and possibly projecting information onto the user’s field of vision through a different mechanism.
**HOST**: Intriguing. And what about the weight? Any details on that?
**SARAH JONES**: Rumor has it they’ll come in at around 50 grams, which is indeed lighter than some bulkier smart glasses we’ve seen on the market. [[1](https://9to5google.com/2024/12/02/samsung-smart-glasses-software-reveal-date-report/)]
**HOST**: So, a potentially lightweight, display-less design… this suggests Samsung might be aiming for a more subtle, integrated approach to smart glasses.
**SARAH JONES**: I think that’s a smart guess. This could be Samsung’s way of differentiating themselves in a market that’s starting to get crowded.
**HOST**: Definitely a market to watch. Sarah, any final thoughts on what we can expect from this Samsung reveal?
**SARAH JONES**: I believe we’ll see Samsung focus heavily on the software experience and how seamlessly these glasses integrate into the existing Samsung ecosystem. Keep an eye out for potential collaborations with app developers as well. This launch could be a significant step towards mainstream adoption of smart glasses.
**HOST**: Well said. We can’t wait to see what Samsung has in store.
Thank you for joining us, Sarah Jones!
