what they look like
They’re called “Jinju” internally.
The design is super minimal — they look like normal glasses, with tiny camera bits tucked at the edges.
No flashy screens yet, just everyday eyewear vibes
Core Idea
Instead of being full AR headsets, these are AI‑powered companions.
Think of them as smart assistants you wear all day — asking questions, translating text, snapping photos, or pulling info instantly.
They’ll run on Android XR and use Gemini AI for natural, conversational interactions
Key features
Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1.
Camera: 12MP Sony IMX681 sensor.
Battery: 155mAh (small but meant for lightweight use).
Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.3 + Wi‑Fi.
Audio: Directional, possibly bone‑conduction.
Weight: ~50 grams (light enough for daily wear).
Lenses: Photochromic — they adapt to sunlight automatically.
Pricing Strategy
First model (Jinju) expected at $379–$499, directly competing with Meta’s Ray‑Ban smart glasses.
Second model (Haean) planned for 2027, with a micro‑LED display inside the lenses, priced higher at $600–$900.
Launch Timeline
Likely teased at Samsung’s July Unpacked event.
Full release could happen later this year or early 2027.
Big Picture
Samsung is playing the long game:
Start simple with AI‑only glasses.Move toward advanced AR with displays in the next generation.
Challenge Meta head‑on in both entry‑level and premium smart glasses markets.
