The first Galaxy Glasses have no screen. A November 2024 specs report on Samsung's XR eyewear ran through the hardware and never mentioned a display at all. Samsung put the glasses on stage at Unpacked on 22 July 2026 and the spec had not moved. Battery life is nine hours, per 9to5Google.
Google's Android XR design documentation mandates three controls on every pair of AI glasses: a power switch, a touchpad and a camera button. A hands-on at Unpacked put a button on the right arm for Gemini and for capturing content, with the power switch inside the left arm.
Choi Jae-in, who heads Samsung's Extended Reality R&D team, told a press briefing in London after Unpacked that the glasses are built to extend a phone rather than replace it. A pair with displays is reported for 2027.
