Samsung could finally unveil its long-awaited AR glasses at Unpacked 2025, debuting alongside the Galaxy S25 lineup

Samsung, Google, and Qualcomm are all working together to bring a mixed reality device to market, and it’s been around for quite some time. Since the South Korean tech giant teased that the project was in the works, there have been some massive delays, leading to significant challenges that have made it difficult for the company to bring the AR glasses to market. Now it seems the wait is finally over as reports suggest we could see the long-awaited smart glasses alongside the Galaxy S25 series in 2025.

According to reports, AR glasses could finally arrive with the launch of the Galaxy S25 series

While this year may not have been the best for Samsung in terms of products that leave a lasting impression, the company is determined to change that next year and is working hard to innovate and expand into new categories.

After realizing users’ tendency to wear smart glasses instead of headsets, Samsung and Google took a different direction.

It is also said that Samsung will introduce the glasses software to the public later this month, which would increase user enthusiasm. This would allow developers to get an early look at augmented reality and could help set the stage for the ecosystem. While other details are still sparse, we’re excited about the potential of the AR glasses that are currently being developed and will hopefully hit the market early next year.
