Building on that, the company announced at MWC that it is shooting to launch AI-powered smart glasses at some point in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to CNBC, Samsung\u2019s Jay Kim executive VP of mobile, says that the smart glasses will feature a camera and microphone, similarly to what Google has teased from other 3rd-party XR partners and what we already have on the market from Ray-Ban and Meta. Work is being done in partnership with Google and Qualcomm, which will be necessary as Meta currently dominates with a whopping 82% of the smart glasses global market.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung\u2019s Kim didn\u2019t specify if the glasses would have a built-in display, but did note that the glasses would need to be tethered to a smartphone, so we presume if users need a display, they\u2019ll need to use their phone or smartwatch.
