Samsung just dropped some juicy details about its 2026 product lineup, confirming a new foldable is set to arrive in the second half of the year. The company also announced plans to launch its first AR glasses, which will deliver “rich, immersive multimodal AI experiences.”
While outlining Samsung’s product strategy for the year during its Q4 2025 earnings call, Seong Cho, head of marketing for Samsung’s mobile division, said that the company plans to deliver these new AI experiences “through diverse form factors, such as next generation AR glasses.”
This marks the first time Samsung has officially confirmed a launch window for the long-rumored AR glasses, which have been the subject of leaks for the last few months. According to the leaks, the company appears to be working on two variants, with the model numbers SM-O200P and SM-O200J, though it’s not yet clear if both will launch in 2026.
Leaked specifications suggest the AR glasses could feature a Qualcomm AR1 chipset, a 155mAh battery, and a 12MP camera with autofocus. The model set to launch in 2026 is expected to compete with Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses and may include transition lenses that change color based on lighting conditions.
Samsung’s AR glasses could target the mainstream
Samsung debuted its first XR glasses, the Galaxy XR, in October last year. The glasses are priced at $1,799, putting them out of reach for most consumers. Based on the leaked specifications, the upcoming AR glasses could be significantly more affordable, potentially making Samsung’s next-generation wearable accessible to a broader audience.
However, it’s still too early to say if that will end up being the case, and these leaks should be taken with a grain of salt. Samsung has yet to confirm any details about the AR glasses, but more information is expected in the coming months.
