■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 5 SOURCES ▸ TIMELINE

Samsung's first smart glasses, codenamed Jinju, have leaked online with specs and pricing that rival Meta's Ray-Ban offering. The device could debut at Google I/O next month.

Leaked images show the Galaxy Glasses resembling Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses, according to Android Headlines. Samsung plans to price them between $379 and $499, matching the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2. The specs include a Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 processor, 12-megapixel Sony IMX681 camera, 155mAh battery, and bone conduction speakers. Unlike the Ray-Ban model, the Galaxy Glasses reportedly won't feature a display. Samsung's entry into the smart glasses market comes as Meta and other tech giants push AR wearables forward. The announcement timing at Google I/O would position Samsung alongside Google's own AR initiatives. Full specifications remain incomplete based on leaked information, suggesting additional details could emerge before an official announcement.
