'Everybody talks about what's the next AI device... Glasses, obviously is one of them' — Samsung exec teases details about its forthcoming XR glasses, and when they might arrive

• Samsung has been talking about its upcoming XR smart glasses
• An increasing number of AI wearables are now being launched
• We should see the Samsung specs launch sometime during 2026

We know that Samsung is busy working on a pair of smart glasses — we've even seen them in prototype form — and now company executive Jay Kim has revealed a few key details about what we can expect when the product launches.

Speaking to CNBC (via 9to5Google), Kim said that more tech companies are now exploring the potential of smart spectacles, which are now often referred to as AI glasses because of the intelligent assistants accessible through the devices.

"Everybody talks about what's the next AI device... and I know I've been looking at many different types of devices," says Kim in the interview. "Glasses, obviously is one of them and everybody's looking at it."
