Samsung has reportedly requested new microdisplay components from its Samsung Display unit for a future generation of smart glasses. Samsung Display is reportedly working on the form factor while the company is evaluating the performance and pricing. Samsung is said to be considering ultra-small panels of 0.2 inches or smaller that can be fitted into eyeglass frames.
The launch of Samsung AI Glasses with integrated colour display will reportedly take place in the second half of next year or the first half of 2028. The final date will be determined by the time required for panel development and progress of product verification.
Samsung has not reportedly confirmed whether to opt for a monocular or binocular display configuration for this future product. The glasses could use limited 4-bit gradation levels instead of standard 8-bit depth to easily read text and symbols. The company is said to be considering White (W) OLEDoS as a cost-effective option compared to expensive RGB OLEDoS. LEDoS is also under evaluation. The key challenge could be achieving a wide Field of View (FOV) across the lens.
Before the colour-display model, Samsung is reportedly preparing to launch its first Android XR smart glasses are designed without an integrated display. This wearable is said to go official later this year and is expected to rival Ray-Ban glasses with similar design elements. It could have open-ear audio hardware built into the frame.
Samsung is jointly developing the Android XR smart glasses with Google and eyewear brands including Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. It could be positioned against Meta's Ray-Ban-style smart glasses. The wearable could feature a similar conventional eyewear design.
