- According to a South Korean publication, Samsung’s XR glasses are expected to be available in the third quarter of 2025.
- Possible specifications, such as a 155mAh battery and a purported Qualcomm AR1 CPU, were allegedly disclosed in the report.
- According to reports, Samsung intends to produce 500,000 units in a restricted initial run.
According to SamMobile, a report from South Korea has leaked the suggested specifications for Samsung’s XR glasses, which the company has been teasing since 2023.
The article claims that the AR1 chip from Qualcomm might serve as the primary processing unit for the smart glasses, with an NXP chip serving as an auxiliary processor.
Cristiano Amon, the CEO of Qualcomm, disclosed in a September 2024 interview with CNBC that the company was supplying the processor for a Samsung mixed-reality smart glass device. Amon further supported the most recent reported launch date by hinting at a 2025 release.
According to the rumor, the gadget would also feature a 12-megapixel camera that uses Sony’s IMX681 CMOS image sensor.
Gemini-Powered AI Features May Be Included in Samsung XR Glasses
The XR glasses are expected to weigh 50 grams and come with a tiny but maybe sufficient 155 mAH battery. According to reports, Google Gemini-powered gesture detection and other AI features would be integrated into QR codes to facilitate mobile payments.
According to reports, Samsung is only intending to produce 500,000 devices; therefore, the device might only be released in a few areas. As an alternative, the tech giant might be preparing a trial run to gauge the device’s sales before ramping up production.
As the report suggests a Q3 2025 debut, Samsung might tease the smartphone at its first Unpacked event of the year or during CES 2025 in January. Alongside Samsung’s newest foldables, an official announcement might be made at the second Unpacked presentation of the year in August.
