APK teardowns of the sort can be useful in revealing future releases, but may also not make it to a public release.<\/p>\n<p>What we do know thus far: Google, the creator of Android XR,\u00a0announced last year it was partnering with Samsung as well as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtovr.com\/google-partners-with-prominent-eyewear-makers-for-upcoming-android-xr-smartglasses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Gentle Monster and US-based eyewear brand Warby Parker<\/a>\u00a0to release the company\u2019s first generation of Android XR-based smart glasses.<\/p>\n<p>Google also hopes to release\u00a0a model with built-in displays for visual output. The company showed off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/computing\/smart-glasses\/i-just-saw-the-future-of-android-xr-smart-glasses-and-meta-and-apple-are-in-trouble\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> two prototypes <\/a>last year, including both a monocular and stereoscopic model to demonstrate Android XR\u2019s ability to adapt to multiple hardware configurations.<\/p>\n<p>Still, there\u2019s no release date in sight for any of the Android XR-running smart glasses. The inclusion of ecosystem tie-ins in One UI 9 (based on Android 17) could mean we\u2019ll find out more soon, however. Android 17 is expected to release in June 2026, with One UI 9 expected a month later, which could hold more clues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung is reportedly working on a pair of smart glasses that could be more advanced than its forthcoming&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":626575,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[64,63,105,238,239,240],"class_list":{"0":"post-626574","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-technology","11":"tag-virtual-reality","12":"tag-virtualreality","13":"tag-vr"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=626574"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626574\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/626575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=626574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=626574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=626574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
