now, but it might not be for much longer, because Samsung has a pair of its own smart specs on the way. And based on a new leak, they look very similar
to the Meta Ray-Bans but with at least one clear advantage.

Android Headlines has shared renders of what it claims are the Samsung
Galaxy Glasses, and for the most part, they look like an ordinary pair of specs the only real sign that theyre not is the camera lenses at the edges
of the frame. But this is a design thats also very similar to a lot of Metas smart glasses, which likewise have a camera at each side and, in some cases, similarly shaped lenses.

Their capabilities also sound similar, with Android Headlines explaining that this first pair of Samsung smart glasses likewise lacks a screen, but that,
as they run Android XR, youll be able to talk to Gemini to do things like translate signs and take pictures, while Google Maps will be able to give you directions through them. (Image credit: Android Headlines) Its a similar idea to the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses , but with those specs, youre stuck with Metas AI, which isnt as capable or popular as Googles, so Samsung could have
a big advantage there.

Of course, Meta has Ray-Ban and Oakley branding for its glasses, which is probably more appealing than the Samsung branding here, but we already know that future Samsung frames will be made in collaboration with Warby Parker
and Gentle Monster, so Metas branding advantage might not last for long either.

And if youre disappointed that theres no screen on these glasses, you
shouldnt have too much longer to wait for a model with a display, with those coming in 2027, according to Android Headlines. Get daily insight,

But this first screenless pair will probably land before the end of 2026, and they're rumored to cost between $379 and $499 (roughly between 280 / AU$525 and 370 / AU$695), which puts them roughly in line with Metas pricing.

So, will you buy a pair of Samsung Galaxy Glasses based on what we know so far? Take part in our poll below to let us know. If you do want to buy these Samsung glasses, you might be able to do so in July, as that's when the
Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Flip 8, and Galaxy Watch 9 will likely launch. Though Android Headlines speculates that the Galaxy Glasses could get teased then and go on sale later.

Personally, I think they look promising, but I'll probably hold out for the model with a screen next year, even though those are sure to cost even more with leaks currently putting the display-toting model at between $600 and
$900 (around 440 / AU$835 to 665 / AU$1,250). Today's best smart glasses
