Road to VR reported the glasses run a Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1-family chip. The exact variant, AR1 Gen 1 (as in the original Ray-Ban Meta) or the newer AR1+ Gen 1, has not been confirmed by Samsung. Some analysts report AR1+, but Samsung has not disclosed the specific chip. The AR1 family is purpose-built for low-power always-on AI with an on-device NPU.
Samsung's Galaxy Glasses, codenamed Jinju, are reportedly built on Qualcomm's Snapdragon AR1, the same chip family behind Ray-Ban Meta, and run Google's Android XR. At around 50 grams they sit close to regular glasses. Directional speakers and lenses that darken in sunlight round out the picture. Nearly every serious pair of smart glasses now runs Qualcomm silicon.
