Official Confirmation and Timeline

During Samsung’s Q4 2025 earnings call, EVP of Mobile Experiences Seong Cho announced that the company’s long‑rumored augmented‑reality glasses will be released later in 2026, moving the project from speculation to an official product roadmap.

What We Know About the Hardware

Leaks from Galaxy Club suggest two variants:

  • Model SM‑O200P
  • Model SM‑O200J

Both are expected to share core specifications, including a 12 MP autofocus camera, Qualcomm’s AR1 processor, and a 155 mAh battery. The two model numbers likely reflect regional or configuration differences rather than entirely separate devices.

Position in Samsung’s XR Strategy

The AR glasses complement Samsung’s recently launched Galaxy XR headset (October 2024) and signal a broader push toward “rich, immersive multimodal AI experiences” across multiple form factors.

Potential Launch Window

While the exact date remains unconfirmed, Samsung’s pattern of unveiling XR hardware in the fourth quarter suggests a late‑year 2026 release, similar to the timeline of the Galaxy XR headset.
