Samsung plans to unveil first smart glasses at January Unpacked event

Samsung is expected to reveal its first smart glasses at the January Unpacked event, alongside the Galaxy S25 series. Reports indicate these glasses will compete with Meta's Ray-Bans, featuring voice assistance, audio playback, and gesture recognition. The new smart glasses will weigh around 50 grams, slightly heavier than the Meta version. Unlike Meta's collaboration with EssilorLuxottica, Samsung's design may focus on a more traditional look without a built-in display for augmented reality. Details about the glasses will likely be limited to a teaser during the event, with a full launch anticipated later. This development signals increased competition in the smart glasses market.
